I did it!!!!

Yippee! I survived my 48 hours of no sugar, grains or meat. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It required a lot of planning, but it wasn't as hard as I originally anticipated. I told myself that I would try to ease back into eating grains by only having one serving a day. Ha hahaha ha. Yep, that didn't work. I had like 4 slices of bread and a half of box of crackers. It put me in a carb coma. Let me tell you it was divine. Then, I followed it up with a 1/2 pound of cow and side of pure sugar bliss......candy from the left, candy from the right....every where I looked, candy was in sight.
Believe it or not I lost 1 pound in 48 hours. You would think this would be motivation enough to cut down on these foods. Nope, not so much. I could give up vegetables for the rest of my life, but sugar.....man forget about it. Sugar and I are soul mates. Never meant to spend life apart. Should we ever be separated the world as we know it would cease to exist and we would (sugar and I) wither up and die. It's shameful to be this in love with food, but the truth should be known........it is what it is.

MMM MMMM Good. Got Meat?

So, I don't know what in the world caused me to think of this, but I am not going to eat meat, sugar products or grains for two whole days. No problem you say? You could do it in a heartbeat? That's what I thought. It sounded great when I shared it with Natalie and Brain, but now that the day has arrived I am faced with the reality of how much of this stuff I eat. As Becca (She's 7) would put it, "I am crapping out". I just realized how much I love grains, meat and deserts..... Say it with me.... Meat... grains...deserts Oh MY! Meat... grains...deserts Oh MY!
This is going to be a long 48 hours. I think I will lock myself in my room and ask for a glass of milk every 2 hours. I can do this. I think I can.... I think I can.......sigh.....I hope I can....I hope I can.

A very faithful woman

Just for laughs folks......just for laughs...enjoy

An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout "PRAISE THE LORD!"

Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"

Hard times set in on the elderly lady, and she prayed for GOD to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted "PRAISE THE LORD. GOD I NEED FOOD!! I AM HAVING A HARD TIME. PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!"

The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD."

The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't."

The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, "PRAISE THE LORD. He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them. Praise the Lord!"

This has been a long and hard week. I have been all over the place. My boss was here for three days (She is normally based out of Atlanta). This took a toll on me this week. It was a great visit and she liked what I'm doing so far. So, I guess that's good. I have been helping out with a 6th grade girls basketball team and their tournament final game is today. That's exciting! I just completed an interview for a possible mission trip to Africa and I also think it went very well. All things consider I should be a pretty happy camper right now, but now that it's Friday, I am just pooped and drained. I feel like curling up in a little ball and sleeping until Monday. Crazy huh?? I think we all get to places like this without explanation or cause. Our lack of sleep and rejuvenation catches up with us and we just crumple into an emotional heap of tears. Since I recognize that this is how I am feeling I plan to look up to the sky and ask, "Where does my hope come from?" and hopefully be filled with the joy that I know lies deep within me.

New Song

Hey Peeps <-----Staying on my Easter them here.

Check out this song on my video bar by Mandisa. I first heard Madisa sing this at a concert here in Orlando and I loved it. I hope you do too.
