Changes and things to come :-)
We have started finding ways to save money at home...we no longer have satellite TV which saves us $60.00 a month and my darling husband put a clothes line outside for me and we are using it some. Not totally due the all the afternoon thunderstorms we get. Also yesterday I called our phone company and was inquiring about our bill. We were paying $80.00 a month for home phone service and DSL. I dropped the fancy features such as caller id, call waiting and long distance. Also dropped a 5GB storage fee they were charging each month. When all is said and done it took off $30.00 a month of the phone bill. :-) Little savings lead to bigger savings :-)
I am also going to start making use of the gym membership we are paying for. We have a contract with them and can not cancel which is okay with me because I know IF I start going to the gym and loosing weight then doctor bills and medicines and even clothes shopping will become cheaper. I will update later on this evening what we worked out for our budget and I pray that this may encourage someone going through the same thing or that even you will encourage us during this time. We know things have to change and with the Lord's help we will make it happen.

Why do you go to church???
This thought has been on my mind for sometime now and it really bothers me when people go to church for the wrong reasons. We should be going to church to worship God and also to hear the Word being preached. I am not saying it's bad if a church has a lot of programs, clubs etc but our main focus should be on hearing the Word and then going out and telling it to others. Our church has a very small youth group and my daughter is getting ready to enter it this school year. It has been suggested to me that I find another church to take her to because she needs youth interaction. Yes I do agree that since she is homeschooled interaction with other youth her age is a good thing but I don't go to our church because of their youth program. We go because that is where we feel God wants us to be. We go because the word of God is taught truthfully and unashamedly. We go because our Pastor loves the Lord and wants to serve Him, but he is also human and is willing to admit his shortcomings. These are just my thoughts and I know that not all will agree with me. I am just putting out there what God has laid on my heart. :-)

Physically Fit and Spiritually Fit
I am going on a journey of emotions and feel like the Lord would have me to make some changes in my life. As per my previous post today I am trying to simplify my life. Another way I feel the Lord wants me to change is my weight. I am posting here and now in open confession that I am lazy. I do not brag about that in fact I am broken about this sin and that is why I am stating it now. I want others to hold me accountable for the changes I am going to make. So starting tomorrow I am going to watch what I eat and make exercise an important part of my day. I want not only my heart to be pleasing to the Lord but I want to be a good steward of what He has allowed me to have. I am going to make a new blog just for my weight loss journey and will include my exercise, water intake and food intake for the day. I would love to have anyone else take the journey with me. If you are interested please let me know!!

Green by Ted Dekker
For my book review this time I selected a book by Ted Deker entitle Green. The whole premise of this book is that you can read it either as the first in the series or the last. The series in which this book belongs is called The Circle and the other books in it are black, red and white. A few teens in our church know how much I like to read and suggested this author. I have never read anything else by him and quite frankly probably never will. The book takes the settings of present and future. That concept I can handle but the rest of the book is just odd. Maybe my mind couldn’t take go on the journey the author was hoping for but I was lost and quite frankly bored. The story was unbelievable and the sensuality in the book is nothing that I would want my 13 yr old to read. The main character of the book in present times is Thomas Hunter but he gets swept back into the future and wakes up in the Black Forest. I see the analogy the used used in the colors black representing bad and green representing good but that is the only thing I understood or even enjoyed. I am thinking that this is one circle that should not have been reborn.
