Sorry I haven't blogged for awhile. Things have been crazy and I haven't been very good. So those are my two reasons. I didn't want to have to admit in writing that I have screwed up yet again! Luckily I have a God who is used to my screw ups and loves me anyway. He definitely wants me to be better and with His help conquer those things that keep me from a more intimate relationship with Him but He is patient and for that I am very grateful!
Mark has been extreme garage selling (my name for it) the past week and a half which is why things have been so crazy. Midnight runs to get stuff off a curb alert. Bargaining with people off Craigslist to get them to take his "low ball" offers. He is like on a high. I love seeing him like this. He really gets into it. Our garage looks crazy! Last Friday and Saturday we sold over 700 worth of stuff when Mark only put 55 (plus gas money) into it. I call that successful! Then this Tuesday he was just pulling stuff out of the garage to straighten up and organize and people kept stopping and he sold another 196!! God is so good! We are having another sale this Friday and Saturday and are looking forward to saving more for Mark's tuition. He plans on doing this as much this summer as possible. He really cracks me up. I am proud for how hard he is working and being creative in helping his family. I love him. Today is his birthday and I am very thankful for God bringing him into the world and letting our paths cross. He really is a wonderful gift from God! I hope he feels the same about me. :)
We ate cake for breakfast....nough said. Tomorrow is a new day. I did workout on my spin bike yesterday and plan to again today. I just need to make sure I am active everyday somehow and start to watch what I eat more. I will get past this...I just have to have patience and not expect to lose 10 pounds from one day of smart choices. We live in a society that wants immediate results and that is how I feel about weight loss too....but it isn't like that. I have realized that I am not beating myself up NEARLY as bad as I was. I think I am really growing there. Now, when I get a VS swimsuit magazine in the mail that is a different story but I am improving so I give God the glory for that. He is filling my mind with His truths and not the worlds. Well....back to work and then more organizing for tomorrow's big sale! :) ~God bless~
