Believe it or not, I did plan to write on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, I was in a house full of people. (Three children, including a three year old). And while I did start a few entries, I was never quite able to finish one to my liking. I think I will make up for it today by trying to post something on all my blogs. lol
Today I am in a good mood. Actually I have been in a good mood for a while now. This weekend was a little stressful, just in that I wanted some alone time, and did not get much of it. Still, I did have some fun, and kids can be good to have around sometimes. You can actually learn from them. I hope I learned some patience. lol :)
I am loosing weight, and I am so excited about it. I now have a size 14 dress in my wardrobe that is no where near tight, and actually has a little room in the waist. Well, some might say 14 is nothing to get excited about, but when you were 16 heading toward 18, 14 is pretty cool. And I am not through loosing weight. :) I plan to reach my goal of regaining my 28 inch waist line. I want to get down to a size 10, I think. That will be a nice size to remain, although I may even go for a 7/8. I don't want to be any smaller than that for sure. Well, I have some more to say, but you will have to check Xanga and myspace to read it. :) I may write my honey today too. lol

A New Perspective on Change...
The Lord has introduced me to a new perspective on change. I have taken to walking with my mother in the morning. The first time we went around the track, we parked in a shaded area that was really close to the track. The next time we parked a little further from the track, and I made the comment (more an observation than a complaint really) you usually park closer. That particular morning (yesterday) I had a dificult time with itching. (Sometimes when I walk, I itch, but I want to get into that later.) So anyway, that morning when I got back into the car to wait for my mother, the super walker (proud daughter speaking), and there was such a great breeze outside that I did not need to turn on the air conditoiner. It was really nice. So anyway, today Mama parked where she usually does, and when I went to sit in the car (did not itch as much today, but like I said I want to talk about the itching thing separately) I noticed the place closer to the track had a little less shade and a little less breeze. There was still some shade so it was not unbearable by any means. But I notice the difference, and I commented on it. As soon as I did I heard the Lord say, "See what happens when you complain about your blessings." Immediately I remembered my comment about my mother usually parking closer to the track.
God was teaching me a valuable lesson. You see I am the kind of person who likes her cheese where it is, thank you very much. Change has often annoyed me, and I usually take big change like one might take liquid medicine (very reluctantly). But I made a decision today. I am going to a make a practice of looking for the blessing in the change.
I mean if I am going to move with God things are going to change. He believes in taking us from glory to glory, and with every new level of glory, there comes new changes, challenges, and responsibilities. In my determination to be all that God has called me to be, I am going to have to learn to move with Him. When I think about this, the Biblical reference that comes to my mind is Elijah. Elijah probably became pretty comfortable with the ravens bringing him his food everyday, and drinking fresh spring water. When the spring dried and the ravens stopped visiting him, he had an opportunity to complain to God. However, the Bible does not say anything about him complaining. It only says the Word of the Lord came to him. It only shows that God immediately had an instruction for his provision.
I cannot think of any account in the Word of God, or in my own life even, when God has not made provision for His people when He moves them, or even when they have to move. With the children of Isreal the fire and the cloud moved with them. When Joseph was thrown in jail, God moved the blessing on into the jailhouse with Him. Uh oh, I am going to get excited in a minute. I already am actually. lol Last night I was realeased into my call by a prophet of God. I will talk more about that later; this really is all about flowing with God, knowing that He is in control, and looking for the blessings in the changes in our lives. And that is about all I have to say for now.
Leave it to me to not post here in almost a year and then come back and post something this long, without a hello. Well, hello cyber space. I am working on posting on a blog everyday. (That is actually a goal of mine. And I am of the opinion that I can (in Christ) meet all my goals. I will talk about that later too. ) Yeah I know. I always think about readers that may stop by. Lord let this be a blessing to someone else even as it has been a blessing to me.
Much love,
Roz

If your're Happy and you know it...
| Your Social Dysfunction: Happy You're a happy person - you have a good amount of self-esteem, and are socially healthy. While this isn't a social dysfunction per se, you're definitely not normal. Consider yourself lucky: you walk that fine line between 'normal' and being outright narcissistic. You're rare - which is something else to be happy about. | ||||
