Thursday and thoroughly through

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Overcast and cool all day long at the old house cleaning out beds and replanting beds. The wet mulch bags would not budge, so I busted them open and shoveled the mulch in. We had released a bunch of lady bugs for the aphids yesterday and they really were going to work . My neighbor used to freak because I released ladybugs. He got them confused with Asian lady beetle which are really destructive. Below is the lady bug and below her is the destructive Asian lady beetle. Confusing, huh!



I begged some fish heads off the neighbor who was cleaning fish; so that I could bury them under the undernourished corn . Fish emulsion usually pulls plant out of a funk but I had none today. Then I treated the whole garden with diatomaceous earth because I saw grasshoppers.

Building committee meeting was tonight. Good people and we love to laugh and talk and give God the glory for letting us continue with a debt free building. But I am tired. I have stayed within my ranged and made over 10000 steps. So I'm taking the rest of the night off.

For the Lord comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song. Isaiah 51:3



God bless us by making our wilderness like Eden and our voices to sing a song of thanks!

Wednesday, the last day

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

of BSF bible study until fall and its ending is bitter sweet. I will miss the women and the enthusiasm of the women who meet to study God's Word. But I am glad that Wednesdays will be free for the summer.

Wednesday nights are full with teaching the kids. Thanks God for the studies I have been blessed with for the last 10 years because I am prepared to take these kids through the Bible book by book. Their parents are actually amazed that they participate so well and absorb so much. "Really, really they behaved?" Of course I am not their parent and they behave for me or they can sit with their parents. (Fate worse than death.)

My food is on the lower side of the range and my movement hasn't stopped all day. I still have a cold but felt much better after being with the kids. Their joy in living is contagious. A goal for all of us older ones - to maintain that childlike joy as we near that final day when our joy will never end .

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15



God bless us to rightly handle the word of truth.

Tuesday, Happy First Spark Anniversary

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

... and more mowing.

I ran into town early this morning to see my chiropractor and get some groceries. He is a very wise guy and told me no matter how many steps I take per day and I have been taking lots, I still need to get my cardio in, so I'll be back at it plus my 10000 steps and up.


And I bought extra healthy groceries for the old house, since we've been spending more time there and I eat whatever is there which is usually popcorn or crackers - not the meals of champions.

First year is always the hardest they say of marriage. And for me after the first passion in Spark people I have gotten complacent, but I am still here because I am committed to becoming the better of me. The best is yet to come.

Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.



God bless us with the best we can be until the Best has come.

Monday mostly mowing

Monday, May 20, 2013

I went tot he old house at 8 to make sure I got one acreage mowed before noon. The weather was breezy and overcast making it really nice to mow.

My fitbit has made me very aware of how much I move each day - such a great tool. DH will find it sitting on the cabinet and chase me down to make sure I don't miss any steps. My DS ordered the bracelet one and I am interested to see how it works.

While I mow at the old house, DS will drive DM down in the new to us golf cart (with DM griping all the way)and stopped to get an ice cream. Note red is DMs favorite color and it is all she will wear now.


I've done really well at passing up ice cream from the corner and only store in town and the buttermilk pie I bought from the Nacogdoches farmer market. Of course, the cold makes things taste askew. I notice when I reduce milk products the congestion diminishes.

I am grateful to have found Sparkpeople. I feel as if I can be myself and share my tiny life with other people. There are so many lives going on around me it is a wonder that people cross paths at all. But since we're all in this together it is great to get to know such wondrous people. Thank you for sharing in my time here and letting me share in yours.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership. Philippians 1:3-5
We are in this struggle together. You have seen my struggle in the past, and you know that I am still in the midst of it. Philippians 1:30



God bless us with His continued partnership in our struggle.
