Ok today was different! I came in an worked for a few hours, then left for lunch and to run an errand. Then came back and worked some more. Way to much work for me!
Well I went to the gym last night. It was good. I tried a fat burner shake, it was pretty good. Then I went to Angela's and ate a lot of fattening food! That was useless!. We watched Ghost Town. It was funny. I think we laughed more at Brandi and her boyfriend, than the movie though!
I am finding it easy right now to trust in God, I am waiting for the next valley, But I am enjoying the view on the mountain until then.
I am going to the gym again tonight.
Jess has a soccer game tonight, but I am not going, going to wait and go Thursday night. I can not wait to see her play.
I miss going out bowling with friends. I have not done that in a while, it would be fun! I think I also miss watching the race on Sundays, I need to start back again! I love watching racing! Only if I can catch it at the end though lol!
Well I am suppose to be going on vacation with my mom, my cousin Delaine and my Aunt Pam. We are to leave Monday on April 6, 2009. I know I will enjoy the trip and the company. But I am kind of torn. I will miss my family, especially Skip! But maybe the separation will do us good, you know absence makes the heart grow fonder! It is a hard choice sometime.
I am realizing that when you have a close family, it can really put a strain on your marriage. It is hard to find that happy medium. I am friends with a couple that is going through the same thing!
It is hard to make that perfect fit, where husband, or wife is happy and your family is happy too.
I am trying to learn myself how to keep the boundaries straight, I can tell you it is not easy!
Well guess I better go, it is about time to leave work! Think yourself happy today! God Loves You!

Obedient?
OK I was reading in the Bible in 1st Peter, and what should it say? I'm glad you asked!
Wives should be obedient to there husbands in the Lord!
Ok, sometimes I have a real problem with obedience! Hmmmm That is a subject I need a lot of prayer in. I have a hard time with people telling me what to do! I guess I am just to independent!
Well this weekend was good. I spent Saturday working and goofing off, what a combination! I worked for about 2 hours then went to Angela's for lunch! I then came back to work and worked for a few more hours.
I then rented some good movies, I think! Rented: The New James Bond movie, Bolt, Ghost Town, and Hancock. Some where good and some were just ok! I watched the Bond movie with Skip, it was his kind of film. Me mom, the kids and Skip watched Bolt, me and Skip slept through half of it lol! Cat, my bestest friend came over late Sunday and me , James, and Jess watched Hancock. Skip had already seen it.
I cooked Chili, which we ate for supper on Saturday and finished for lunch on Sunday. It was good.
Skip cleaned the boys room, I cleaned the kitchen and me and the kids put up some clothes.
Overall it was a good weekend.
I enjoyed the service on Sunday it was good.
Jess and James are getting ridiculous on there fighting. Jess just called me so I could tell James to turn the radio down. Agggggggggggg. You guys have got to learn to get along!
James is not your sisters fault I make you do all these extra things, even though she is a drama queen, you know that, but we love her anyway. Just hang on, you will be gone the whole summer and somene else will be telling you what to do! I love ya babe, just talk to me and tell me what you are doing more often. We will talk about that later.

Through the Fire
So many times I questioned certain circumstances
Of things I did not understand.
And many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision,
and my frustration gets so out of hand.
Its then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone.
As I look at all the victories
The spirit rises up in me
It's through the fire
my weakness is made strong
CHORUS
He never promised
that the cross would not get heavy
and the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victory without fighting
But he said that help would always come in time
so just remember when you're standing
in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in
Just hold on, my Lord will show up, and he will take you through the fire again.
I know within myself that I would surely perish
but if I trust the hand of God
He'll shield the flames again, again.
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
and the hill would not be hard to climb.
He never offered victories without fighting,
but he said help would always come in time.
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
and the adversary says give in
just hold on, our Lord will show up
and he will take you through the fire again.

Books are a good escape method!
I love to escape to a good book! When life has me down and I feel like I just don't fit in, I can always get into a good book! I can see the story as it is happening, I can just imagine the scenes in my head! Sometimes I can't remember if I read it or saw it in a movie! Sometimes I want to book to go on forever and never end. Then it's back to reality!
No real plans for this weekend! Sometimes I think my life is a joke. Tonight I will ride around with Skip and go where ever he wants to go, tomorrow, I will ride into town with Skip and go to work at the office, I have to work on fireworks, then Skip will pick me up later and we will go to the fireworks stand. Then who knows, you know I really hope that then I get to go home, I so want to go home and just sit there for a while and do nothing, just sit and watch tv!
We are dumping the boys at moms again, I never get to see them anymore, always to much to do! I want the simpler life back.:) Well at least on Sunday we have Church! I can not wait, a day that I get to just Focus on the Lord and rest in his presence! I don't have to worry about making someone else happy, I don't have to worry about my job, just loving God. That sounds great!
Been getting the mully grubs lately! That's a drag! I have got to figure out how to have some fun! I just need to do more fun things. I am working on that!
James is gone off to fellowship with the FCA this weekend, Jess is currently at Soccer practice and then I think she is going to a movie. I should probably go with her, LOL!
Oh well, guess I will get back to that book! Keep thinking yourself happy, I am working on it myself!

To sleep or not to sleep!
That is the question! I can not get enough sleep lately! I am trying to speak rest and strength into my life, but today I just don't have it in me. I can hardly stay awake! There is no enough time in the day to do all that I want to do! I wish we had about 8 more hours in the day LOL!
God has really been blessing my me lately! Of course you know who does not like that so he is fighting me hard! I feel like I need a rest. Makes me think of that verse in the bible, do not get weary in well doing, well I think I am very weary in well doing!
For the first time in a long time, I wanted to stay home from Church last night and just rest! But that is not what I should do. I need Church, it helps me make it through the week, keeps my Spirit going. God renews my strength and helps me make it through the week. I need to learn how to draw from that strength, even when I am not at Church.
I think I am tired of making decisions to. my mind just wants to stop working! I need a break from all this thinking! LOL But life must go on!
I am taking James to the clinic tonight so he can get an excuse for missing school, stupid rules! Well hopefully the Doc can give him some meds to make him feel better! I am hoping to work the gym in after taking James. We will see how late it is, I might have to work out at home.
I have been wanting to do something with the boys, but I just can't seem to work anything out! I am working extra hours so I can take my mom on this trip to Virginia! If it was not for the fact that my mom and aunt are really looking forward to the trip, I would just stay at home. But I know they are excited, so I am praying and trying to make it work. Trying to keep people happy is a hard job, but it is worth it!
I am trying to decide what to have for dinner tonight that does not cost any money. This is getting hard. I am glad I get paid tomorrow!
Well guess I better go! Think your self happy today!

Ok here are some more popular sayings in the Bible
The King James Version of the Bible has been enormously influential in the development of the English language. It ranks with the complete works of Shakespeare and the Oxford English Dictionary as one of the cornerstones of the recorded language. After Shakespeare, the King James, or Authorized, Version of the Bible is the most common source of phrases in English. The King James in question was James I of England and James VI of Scotland. He didn't write the text of course, he merely authorized it, hence the name that the book is best known in the UK (King James Version , or KJV, being more commonly used in the USA).
The King James Version was translated by 47 biblical scholars, working in six committees. It was first printed in 1611 and was by no means the earliest English translation of the Bible. It was pre-dated by several other partial or complete translations, notably John Wyclif's translation in 1382 and William Tyndale's in 1528 - the latter forming the basis of a large proportion of the KJV.
What raises that version above other versions of the Bible in terms of its linguistic impact is the fact that the language used has persisted into the present-day. Many of the phrase used are still commonplace. Here are some of the many phrases that originated in the Bible (most, but not all from the King James Version):
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A drop in the bucket
A man after his own heart
A multitude of sins
A thorn in the flesh
All things must pass
All things to all men
Am I my brother's keeper?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
As old as Methuselah
As old as the hills
As you sow so shall you reap
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
At his wits end
Baptism of fire
Beat swords into ploughshares
Bite the dust
Blessed are the peacemakers
Born again
By the skin of your teeth
Can a leopard change its spots?
Coat of many colours
Eat drink and be merry
Faith will move mountains
Fall from grace
Fight the good fight
Flesh and blood
For everything there is a season
Forbidden fruit
Forgive them for they know not what they do
From strength to strength
Get thee behind me Satan
Give up the ghost
Good Samaritan
How are the mighty fallen
In the beginning was the word
It's better to give than to receive
Lamb to the slaughter
Let not the sun go down on your wrath
Let there be light
Living off the fat of the land
Love of money is the root of all evil -The
Love thy neighbour as thyself
Man does not live by bread alone
Many are called but few are chosen
My cup runneth over
No rest for the wicked
O ye, of little faith
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
Physician heal thyself
Sour grapes
Spare the rod and spoil the child
The apple of his eye
The blind leading the blind
The bread of life
The fly in the ointment
The fruits of your loins
The powers that be
The root of the matter
The salt of the earth
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The wages of sin is death
The writing is on the wall
Thou shalt not kill
Three score and ten
To cast the first stone
What God has joined together let no man put asunder
Woe is me
