No, literally. *nods* lol
I'm slow on posting here today, because I've been busy over on my other blog, Proletarian's Cause. Here, I shared a couple pictures of myself (oh, and DH too), to illustrate my points about my weight loss goals. As I keep saying though (and mostly to myself!!!), it's only by the power of the Lord. I know that my own strength is so small, but I want to glorify the Lord in all that I do. This includes the smaller details of my life, and the witness I give to my faith by giving my own desires over to God.
There isn't much to say about the day, other than I've spent a portion of it fighting off a headache because of the grey, rainy weather. I found the best way to knock it out was to exercise though. My headache is gone, and I don't feel quite so depressed because of the gloomy weather. Darn seasonal disorder stuff! lol Some people get sad during the winter, and I get sad during the winter and any time that it isn't sunny outside. Watch out if a cloud blows over! *chuckles* It's ok for me to make fun of myself. :o ) Maybe I should stay in Alaska during their summer season. Heeheehee..... Might be hard to be gloomy with that many hours of daylight. *silly grin*
So, after getting rid of the headache (and some calories!!), I'm thinking about folding some more laundry. I'm really trying to be joyful over the idea. It's not working all that well. Oh, and I have to rescue Autumn from under the blanket on my bed. She wouldn't move when I was making the bed, so I just put the blanket over her, thinking that she'd get the idea. She's still curled up under the blanket. lol Lazy cat. I should send DD under the covers to get her. Autumn would scoot out of there REAL fast. lol
Hey! I sure wouldn't mind some help, if anyone is actually reading. Do you have any simple fish recipes? I'd like to make more fish, but I don't know many ways to cook it. I prefer baking, since I am trying to knock weight off. Fish just seems to naturally be kind of bland, and I need some variance to keep from getting bored. Have any ideas??
Just Me Again
Ooo.... it's me again. So, I was popping around the kitchen, wrapping my fish and potato in foil to cook in the oven. I had left the radio on, and praise music began to play, and a song came on that just smacked me right in the forehead. I'm sure that oodles of y'all know the song, but I don't listen to praise music real often. More to the point, I don't listen to music as often as I used to. Anyway, I had been thinking about my past ventures in losing weight, and how I feel more secure now because I know that I have the
right motivation. Still, there is that voice that keeps picking at me, telling me that I can't succeed in this because I haven't in the past......
Voice Of Truth
by Casting Crowns
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I’m in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He’s holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and times again “Boy you’ll never win!”
“You’ll never win!”
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, “Do not be afraid”
And the voice of truth says, “This is for my glory”
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they’d have had the strength to stand
But the giant calling my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and times again “Boy you’ll never win!”
“You’ll never win!”
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, “Do not be afraid”
And the voice of truth says, “This is for my glory”
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don’t seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
The voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, “Do not be afraid”
And the voice of truth says, “This is for my glory”
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
