Okay so I apparently need to make more changes in my life than what I originally thought. I didn't like bing eat or anything this weekend, but I definitely didn't do anything great. I haven't even exercised yet (unless you consider going up and down a flight of stairs with 50 lb bundles of wood, falling on the stairs and bleeding profusely a workout). I just get so busy with everything that I don't pray as much as I should.
Its funny, because I find myself praying that God would remind me to pray more often. I am so silly huh? I shouldn't need to be reminded to pray more. That's like saying, "God, can you like remind me to be a Christian please?" WOW! I am realizing now more than ever that I really have a problem. I do pray and I do read the bible, but that is about all I do. I need to make (I almost said find) more time to spend with the Lord and until I can do that, I will not be able to accomplish my goals. The idea here is that I need the Lord to help me through all this. "Okay, so just take me by the hand and I guess you can just do all the work for me God. Thats not a problem is it?"
Okay, so two more goals I want to add to my list:
6) Spend more time with the Lord
7) Be submissive to my husband and stop and think before I speak. Talk to the Lord if there is a problem before speaking to my husband.
I know I never touched upon anything regarding goal #7 but I'm sure I'm not alone in this boat. Marriage is one of the most difficult things. But is can be very beautiful as well. If we can just learn to be submissive with each other, things can be great.
So anyway, I guess I should talk about specifically what happened this weekend and what didn't happen. Nothing to huge. Its just that I haven't really improved anything. Friday I ate a decent size piece of lasagna at my friend's house and it was sooooooo cheesy. Then, yesterday afternoon I made pork meal with sweet potatoes and corn. I had way more than a regular portion of meat. Then later on, I forgot to eat dinner and so while I will standing and talking in the kitchen, I found myself pretty much picking at everything in sight without even realizing it right away. So then I had a salad for dinner. Today I had a fried scallop dinner for lunch and left overs of that pork meal. I had more of a portion size at least of the meat this time. But probably a little too much sweet potatoes.
So not the best weekend but certainly not the worst. I will try that whole praying thing that Christians do :) Until next time, ttyl.

Leah,
You go, girl!!! Inviting Jesus to be a more intimate part of your life is always the best start. You're on the right track by recognizing you need more of Him. I am proud of you for saying "no" to certain committments. I know it's hard, but Satan can use our business to distract us from our walk with Him. Even "good" things can sometimes be bad...know what I mean? I will continue to pray for you in all the areas you mentioned. Love ya, Dianna
Leah,
I cannot believe how it takes your's and Dianna's blogs to realize other people have the same issues. You're two goals are part of my two daily prayers and yes I pray all the time to read more of Him but do I make the time?? No!!! but I am trying maybe just not hard enough by trying is better than not trying.
You're doing Great!!!!!!
Love Ya
Jane
P.S. I don't make alot of money to get up at 4:30 but I've had this job when years back I could wake up at 6:30. I just haven't found anything closer to home although I haven't really been looking I have too much to concentrate on now than to add another prayer....
Oh ya,
You can't go wrong with sweet potatoes, they are much better for you than white potatoes.......
