This is our new home! We have officially signed all the papers and it is ours! The pictures are from the listing, so the decorations are that of the previous owner - we can't wait to get in there and make it our own. Buying a house is alot of stress - not fun at all! The stress will be worth it because the whole reason we bought another property was so our lives would have a little less stress - our other property is too much work! I never again want to worry about getting an acre of land mowed and cleaned up. We get to move in November 28, the sellers asked if they could stay until after Thanksgiving and of course we said yes. This weekend James, Jessie, & I went out and purchased all new appliances to update the kitchen and we will eventually replace the ceiling fans and some of the lighting. God has blessed us and we are very thankful to Him for making it possible for us to buy a home. We welcome all of our friends to come and visit us once we get settled in!
Well my weight loss is going slow, I have lost one more pound bringing my weight to 198 lbs. at least I am not gaining any. I can eat more than I should right now - last night for example I had half a cup of hot & sour soup, one crab rangoon, and about a cup of cashew chicken without rice. I should only be able to eat half that amount. The old me would have eaten two crab rangoon's, the entire cup of soup, and added rice to my meal. December 1 is when I am scheduled to go back in for another fill. Once I have the fill I am hoping to drop a few more pounds. I am feeling pretty good these days I feel like I made the right choice getting this surgery - feeling good is important.
I want to share with you more about my faith in God. Sometimes I feel far away from Him and sometimes I feel He is very close. I know for sure He is always with me and when I feel the distance it's because I am not keeping in touch. I have been praying alot these days. Prayer is a very important part of my life, the Bible says to be in constant prayer:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
New International Version (NIV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
My view of praying continually is to be in aware of your surroundings and when something arises pray - I pray all day, constantly asking for God to guide me and to help me make the right choices or to help those around me. I don't have to bow my head to pray I can do it anywhere at anytime in my head & heart - no one has to know when I am praying, that is between me & God's Holy Spirit that dwells in me. I pray for my family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers. I hope this is a reminder to all of my brothers and sister's in Christ that we should be asking for God's help. If you don't know God then I urge you to say that first and most important prayer - ask Jesus into your heart so you can start a relationship with Him. God sent His Son Jesus to pay for our sins and He paid for it with His life. If you need more information just ask me!! I would love to share my faith with you.
