Taking a Break

-
I have so much going on in our lives right now and to be honest, I have neither the time nor desire to blog at the moment.

Hopefully, I'll be back in a week or two but I didn't want to just stay silent here. Thank you for your prayers!

    Wednesday words of encouragement

    So many times you have encouraged me . Today I woke with these words from Isaiah in my head and thought of you,

    Fear not,for I have redeemed you
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
    When you pass through the waters
    I will be with you
    and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you.
    When you walk through the fire you will not be burned..........

    Much love,
    L.x.

    Dear Terri, Lynn thought how nice it would be if we gave back to you some of the words of encouragement.

    Psalm 121 is one that I used to read to my husband when he was in hospital last year, and these words I send to you with love;

    The Lord watches over you-
    The Lord is your shade at your right hand;
    The sun willl not harm you by day,
    Nor the moon by night.
    The Lord will keep you from all harm-
    he will watch over your life.

    "I said, "I am falling", but your constant love, O Lord, held me up. Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad."
    ~ Psalm 94:18-19

    You ladies are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much. I love the scripture and I am clinging to His word. The Lord is definitely working this all out for His good but it's been hard!

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
