My CUP OVERFLOWS with BLESSINGS

God knows how to show up and show off! Just about two weeks ago I gave some clothes away of my grandbabies that I am raising. Why do I give because God tells me to GIVE.
That is the way GOD works is through giving. But I learned something new this week. GIVE without expecting anything in return from the people you gave it too. Your reward will come back to you through GOD not people. The same people you gave to isn't going to be the same people that gives back to you. He works through obedient people ( his helpers that are willing to go the extra mile) anyways this guy shows up at our house last night and had NEW CLOTHES for our grandson which is 19 months old and needed winter clothes. He had outgrown all of his. I had been like picking up a shirt or two each payday. But they even brought him a new coat...which was much needed. I feel really blessed today. Our granddaughter even placed in her drug poster (3rd Place). I feel God's favor on me HIS WAY not MY WAY. Thank you for this life lesson this week. Your never to old to learn - NEVER.

Keeping the FAITH!

This to shall pass. A storm doesn't last forever. I shall see the sun again. Was a let down on my special day. No one made me feel special to be "50". Guess I was expecting to much from PEOPLE.
I am thankful I have GOD on my side. I felt unspecial.... If there is such a word. But I am not giving up on life or my goals I have in life. Life isn't so amazing. I need to change the heading of this blog. Almost want to change it to MUSTARD SEED. Just takes a little seed planted to make a big difference in life. Just a small one. Just a little faith to move big mountains. But you just got to hold onto that little faith and not let go for it to grow into something big. I can do this.....

 

 

 

 

Faith as small as a mustard seed-

You must hold onto faith no matter what !!!

Life goes on with faith. Even the smallest faith can do much.

 

Clinging to the GOOD

Tomorrow I will be 50. My goal is to squeeze the bad out and cling to the good this week. I sorta fell off the wagon this weekend. Had a little cookout with my grandbabies and I ate a hotdog and a smore!!! NOT good for me at all. The blood sugars showed me that also. So I was back to healthy eating yesterday and staying that way for the rest of the week. CLING TO THE GOOD. My blood sugars are already coming down :) YEA !!! Keeping myself busy...one helpings only this week. Here's goes my 3rd week. I like feeling good :) NOT bad and sad :( I have got this !!!

Letting the OLD GO and the NEW IN

Proud of ME:)
I have made it 2 weeks eating healthy. There has been no weight loss, but I think the insulin keeps me from losing like a normal person. But I FEEL BETTER and that is what counts. I turn 50 in a couple of days and I am READY to LIVE the next chapter in my life. Letting the OLD GO and letting the NEW IN. Hello NEW ME !!!! I want to be different in my 50's. Embrace my age and not try to be 20 but to feel life again :) Inside and out !!!! Watch out world here I come !!!

Life in The Fast Lane isn't Worth it!

I believe I am on a roll to a healthier life style. So proud of myself. I am slowing down and thinking before I eat. I am actually slowing down and knowing that the things I use to make a big deal about isn't that big of deal after all. Things will wait and eating sugar isn't worth it. We can enjoy life in more than one way...it doesn't always have to be eating something sweet or going out to eat at that.

 I think we get in such a hurry that we think the faster is better. But not true with God he wants us to slow down and smell the roses in life. He wants us to be at peace with ourselves and he wants us to love ourselves. How can we love others if we can't love ourselves. It is not worth it going around in life upset all the time or stressing out over something so little in life. We need to learn to say to ourselves and this to shall pass and learn from it. At least that is what I am trying to do.

Passing up FAST FOOD

Well, I did it today :) I passed up FAST FOOD!!  Ate my eggs and toast for breakfast this morning and took little Eli to the doctor this morning. And my usual stops are at McDonalds or Sonic for pop. But just like any addict I need to stay away from what will give me my fix. So I almost used the excuse that Eli needed fry fries. But he was asleep in his car seat. So I said NOPE I will go straight home and pick up then eat what I have here...which ended up being a baked chop and cottage cheese with fruit salad on top. A lot more healthier for me than Sonic or McDonalds would have been.

PROUD OF ME!!!

Trying to drink more water.....( half tea half water with sweetener right now)
Cutting more bread out.....got to stop the toast in the a.m.  I am thinking like a protein shake for breakfast may help that.
Thinking about exercise but don't know how to do that with a one year old yet. I will figure it out though. At least I am getting over the hump. My second week on the change of my life plan. :)

                           I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13


You know what else I did when I passed up the fast food....I saved money too $$$$ :)

Change to even AMAZE myself.

One week down in changing my life around. Changing the way I am eating and going to try to AMAZE even myself at what I can do at the age of 50! Fixing to turn 50 at the end of this month and I do not like where I am at in life. I want change or would you say I NEED CHANGE for my health and to feel better about life. So here I go on this journey. And as much I possibly can I will post daily.
I have tried every diet, every pill, every book there is out there for weight loss. But now it is different I am type II diabetic on pills and insulin for my blood sugars. And I want to LIVE LIFE. Now I am doing this with will power, God, and myself. I believe I can do it...yes, even through out the holidays. Life is more than food...I just know it is.

I know that old ways will not open any new doors for me. So I am RENEWING this mind of mine.

I want to "SHINE & AMAZE" people around me but most of all prove to myself I can do it !!
