I need to be more consistant

I hate that I go forever writing on here. I think about it all the time, I think of something or do something and I am like HEY I need to Blog that! But then I dont! I let life get in the way and dont take the time to do things! Some day I will learn not to do that. Life is so short and so precious we need to not "make time" to do things but rather just take the time and DO IT! I know its much easier said than done and I am practicing it, so maybe someday I will get it! LOL! Last week was awesome. It was days of refreshing at church. They had services every nite sunday through friday. Sunday nite we went and listened to Kenneth Copeland. I NEVER get tired of hearing that man preach about the Blessing! I learn something each and every time! God Bless. We went two other nites that week. Once for Keith Moore and one for Billie Brim. If you have never heard Billie Brim preach I would recommend you do! She was amazing. During the week they had a Israel Market place set up in the lobby. They had clothes, jewerly, beauty products and painting all made in and by people in Israel. Bruce bought me a ring! I love it! Something I am very excited about right now is Thanksgiving. I know its a ways off but we invited Bruce's mom to come to Texas for that week, since its going to be the first holiday with out grandma we wanted mom to have something new to do away from home and memories that would make it hard for her. She jumped on the invitation! I dont think I have ever looked forward to Thanksgiving as much as I am this year. I thank God every day for all the Blessings he has given me and praise him for all the Blessings yet to come..now that is truly something to look forward to.

Blessed Coming In
Blessed Going Out

Running again!

Wohoo! For the first time in over 6 months I am running again! Its a slow start but I did start. I am doing the couch to 5K learn to run program, you can find it on coolrunning.com. Its a 9 weeks training schedule that starts you off slow and builds you up to running a 5K. Today I did day one! And I feel GREAT! It just feels so good to actually have energy and wanting to be active again! In fact I realized last week that I was really wanting to get out and do things and go places!! I havent felt that way in a long long time! God is good! Maybe now I can get back in control of my bad eating habits and start loosing weight again!! But I am not putting any pressure on myself to have big weight loses every week like I have done in the past! I am just going to follow the program to the best of my ability and work out and I know it will all come off in time, and if I "mess up" and dont eat right..so what! I just get right back on it and dont look back!

God Bless!

Too Long

WOW! Its been forever and way to long since I have been on here! I hate it when I let life get in the way and take control! I need to be in control not let life run me...so to catch up since the last time I was on here....
We got all moved! I love the new house even though square footage is less than the other house I really like this house much better, its warm, inviting and cozy! We have plenty of room for our needs. Even though my treadmills , elliptical and weight machine are in the garage its all good! The garage is actually air conditioned and when I am out there I can concentrate on working out and not looking around the house thinking of all the other things that need to get done...
I started my new job as a special education teacher for a middle school in Saginaw! I LOVE IT!! I have never enjoyed a job so much! I take my last test in November to complete my certification so by the first of the year I can actually start my internship and get full teacher pay! WoHooo!!!
We had a heart breaking event in the family just as I was starting the new job! Bruce's grandma went to be with Jesus! I loved her so dearly and I miss her so much not a day goes by that I dont think of her and look forward to the day I see her again! I know her long passed husband was thrilled to welcome her to heaven on that August day and I know Grandma was smiling as she went! God Bless!
I have some major thyroid tests coming up soon. In October I see the surgeon for a Thyroid sonagram to look for any remaining mass in my throat. In December I have a week long of tests 2 days of labs and thyroid injections, one day of radiation pill ( just a small one that will be undetectable so I wont be radioactive like before) then the big test the full body scan! Both my doctors are sure these tests will all be negative but its a process I have to go through! recently I had labs and they were very PLEASED with the results all my levels are back to normal and the tumor test was undetectable!!! Praise God!
I am so blessed and each and every day I can feel the Lord working in my life, and his blessings are truly coming through for us when we need them! God is good! Its taken me a while but I have finally gotten to the point in my relationship with God that I can just let go and let God! I no longer feel the stress and anxiety and pressures of life and let them get to me! When I start to feel that devil I just stop whatever it is I am doing and pray and turn it all over to God!! Let go and let God! God Bless!

A House

Well finally! we have a new home...sort of! LOL We just werent having much luck with finding what we liked to buy..appartently God is not ready for us to buy yet our house is not ready for us! So we decided to look for a new home to rent that would be cheaper than the one we are currently in. We found one! 400 bucks cheaper a month and a bigger yard for the boys to run in. Its still a 3 bedroom and 2 bath like the one we are in now, plus with this one we are going to convert the garage into another room as well for more space. No carpet! which for me is a BIG thing!! With 3 dogs around carpet is not a good thing! Its not in an area where we would like to stay but for the short time its good! Plus the owners are letting us rent month to month so we are not stuck in a year lease! I am packing now and have about half of the house packed. We start moving on the 1st of August and hope to make the final move of big stuff by the 11th. I am going to unpack as we move things instead of moving everything all at once then unpacking..we did that when we moved to Texas and I hated it...too much and too overwhelming! God is at work this week first the house them today I got some good news about a job I applied for, nothing official on it yet but very promising..hope to report that to you all in the next few days! for now its back to packing....

A Dog's Life

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout ...run right back and make friends. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you've had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Another deal goes BUST!

Apparently God does not want us to own a house! We have had two different deals on different house not work out in the past several months. On both places I was excited and talked about the house telling everyone all about it what it had this and that...well this time on this third house I kept my mouth shut! I talked to noone about any details of the house where its at or nothing. I just talked to God about it everyday several times a day! Well tonite we have ran out of options on this one as well! Unless we can come up with 5,000 dollars to close on we are out again. We dont have 1,000 right not let alone 5. And I for one dont know anyone that does have it! I cant stop crying! I just feel so depressed, frustrated and feel like a failure! Why cant we get this to work, dont we deserve to live in a house of our own!? A place to do with what we want and have plenty of room for the boys to run. Well, for whatever reason, its not in Gods plans. Am I really that bad that I cant even be blessed with a home!? I am just going to end this right here because I just cant seem to find words to really express how I am feeling and I cant even seem to find strength in God right now and that worries me!
