I did some good old fashioned praise and worship right here in the apartment, taking care of God's business and getting some things done today before going into work tonight. After having a whirlwind weekend of sightseeing and remembering Moma, I need to take time to reflect, get some order and balance here at home before heading out and taking on my next adventure. I am grateful for the people that God puts into my life, for a reason, for a season and for a lifetime. I expect great things with God, I have been taking different audio bible studies on line learning more about talking to God in prayer, God's renewal and God's peace. Having peace is a blessed thing, one that I wouldn't want to even imagine to do without.
I am continuing to stand in the gap for one of my Aunts who is battling pancreatic cancer. I know that Jesus is the healer and God is the author and finisher of our faith. I continue to believe that thy will will be done and God has the final say-not the doctors or folks around her. I pray that her feelings of frustration and pain are alleviated and God's peace envelops her, giving her the courage and support she needs to face the climb ahead.

Today would have been my Moma's 81st birthday here on earth, but she is now living large with our Lord and Savior, so I know she is having a beautiful birthday bash. i sung Happy Birthday to her and commemorated her day by having some fun of my own, continuing to map out my future. I hung out tough and deep Friday, first by getting my cardio in and looking at potential property. Came home, changed real quick and went out in the afternoon for some real big girl Friday night fun. I visited one of Kansas City's museums taking in the sights of the Titanic artifacts. I walked around Crown Center looking at all the interesting shops and then saw a play that evening extolling the virtues of Bingo. My date and I had a blast since we both went to Catholic schools.
Came home and crashed into bed, seeing how I got off work Friday morning at 7:00 am and went non-stop all day long. It was my greatest intention to get up and meet with the Kansas City Black girls run group, but I didn't hear my alarm for the 6:00 am workout run/walk and I have been suffering from killer cramps in my legs, left and thighs. My girlfriend told me I needed some potassium, so off to Walmart or Walgreens to get some, along with some bananas. I made it to a great weight watchers meeting, that had some excellent tips for doing it anyways and another scale victory  A small one, but I will take it and refocus on my portion control. My WW leader suggested having a scale helps keep the confusion down and since it was on sale, I picked on up. I headed over to one of my favorite breakfast nooks and meet with my other girlies for brunch. We usually get together every four months so it was nice catching up and chatting with them. I dashed across town to meet up with another girlfriend and we attended a small hair show that gave me some valuable tips on getting some stretch and moisture to my hair. So well worth it and they handed out a great goody bag!  Lisa and I went to lunch and got some home decorating ideas from Gordman's. I was keeping busy and glad not to take part in the tax free weekend. I am refocusing my own personal agenda with a heavy concentration on my health, getting my weight down, controlling my blood pressure and cholesterol, finding a permanent affordable home for me and the poodles 
Happy Birthday in Heaven Moma!

I took another big girl step and finally turned in my mortgage paperwork-let the games begin! I am officially "pre-approved" and can start looking to find the right home for the right price and in the right place for me. To God be the glory  I have to really map out my future, watch my spending, follow my financial peace budget, do better in my menu planning and just overall watch my health and safety. I am stepping up my game with my exercise routine, keeping up with my 5k/10k training and flexing and stretching my overused muscles.
This is an exciting and rewarding time for me. Time for new growth and development, time to purge out the old and take in the new and refreshing. I want to be able to develop my style, go with the flow and live life out loud. Mapping out my future helps me to make my dreams a reality and I always said i want to live my very best possible life

It seems to me that July just flew by. Wow, August 1 has landed! I am looking forward to completing two more 5k's this month. Time to get the ball rolling as far as continuing my education, working on my housing applications and increasing my speed to complete a 10k! Dream big, think big-balance and organization are my key word for August. That will be my main focus.  
I am doing a bible study on learning to talk to God more in prayer. It really helps me focus and keep my sanity in this crazy world we live in. It is reassuring to know that God has my back, He will never leave or forsake me and His involvement in my life reassure me that I am on the right track, the winning side.
Jesus is life, the rest is just details!

It is a case of my needs versus my wants. I want a new laptop but I can make this one last a bit longer with a new battery and wiping it down to give it that new appearance. I don't need every little gadget that comes along, especially if I am about to begin house buying mode. I had to pull up my big girl panties and just say no, no to squeezing a new Mac book pro on my card, no to pulling up in a fast food drive thru and ordering a cheeseburger, no to french silk pie I am so crazy over and no to giving into every little tempting food thought thinking I will work out more tomorrow.
I said yes to some fruits today, yes to chicken soup, yes to cleaning carpet my precious little poodle soiled, yes to mopping my kitchen floor, yes to organizing my budget for August, yes to contacting my realtor and yes to making copies for my loan application.
There is a sweet reward for me at the end the road, I just have to put out to get out. If I want to move forward, I can't let the sin of procrastination and the worry of failure stop me from achieving that true brass ring Yes, I am in it to win it and I am going to do it the right way!
