End of June 2017-2

When my sister got home from Ohio, she was much better, and she for many reasons.

  1. She was with grandma of whom is caring.
  2. She was in a house that had no arguing.
  3. She was able to do devotions anytime she liked.
  4. She was able to talk freely.
  5. The topic of Jesus wasn’t downed.
  6. She got away from it all.
  7. Jesus was able to be her friend.
  8. She watched War Room.

All these things helped my sister grow in the Lord. She grew for the better.

After having me watch War Room when she got back, some things changed with me. I really need War Room. My Prayer and devotional life were sadly pretty non-existent. We ended up clearing one side of our walk-in closet to make room.

Watch War Room by the Kendrick Brothers and you will know what I mean. Here’s a link to the trailer:

Excellent movie! I recommend it.

We are ready to grow!

End of June 2017-1

This month has been a different month with my sister being gone, and then my Dad. However, now that they are both back “normal life” can continue.

I missed my sister dearly, and glad she is home. Our relationship is even better than it was, which I didn’t think could happen. I will be talking about how that is later.

Knowing that I can survive without my sister is a nice feeling. And even though I can survive, I know that I still do not prefer it.

Today five years ago I somehow ended up at Petsmart and got a Cat. That idea never popped into my head that morning when I got up. But that night, there was a cat sleeping at the end of my bed!

Shugums has a scintillating personality.  Shugums somehow always knows when I am feeling down and will be near me… even if just for a little while. She will make her presence known.

I thank Dad for letting me get her!

Book

I am reading a book right now called “When Trouble Comes” by Jim Berg. I recommend it to anyone having a difficult time, or gearing up for the next trial. It is speaking to my hard and digging deep.

Is anything to Hard for God… No.

Here is a song I enjoy:

Hard

I really am missing my sister.

It is kicking in hard that she is not going to be back til a while. We have just begun.

 

I just want to say how amazing my sister is. She has done so much for me. I love my sister more than anything (except God.) I will do anything for her. Even if it hurts.

 

During this time I have found a song that has become one of my top favorites! Every Word is so true, and I always mean it when I sing it. God gave everything, and He is everything!

In Christ Alone

“In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live,

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand”

Cleaning

Hard to believe it is day 5 of cleaning my sister and I’s room.

Today will be cleaning the floors, which means I will be done tonight!

Sure I will keep cleaning, but it will be more like a straightening up.

I was able to get rid of a double container, a two-pair-shoe-box sized plastic box, a full jewelry drawer- turned empty, and a junk dresser drawer! All for under $20. I claim help from Pinterest for some great organizing ideas!

I can’t wait to show my Sis when she gets home!

June!

This month will be a different month. My sister will be leaving for three weeks and I don’t know what I will do without her.

We have been apart for very little amount of time our whole life. 18 years- 6 months total apart… yeah.

We are incredibly close and this will be a interesting time.

 

Other news I will be starting to walk daily. I have a nice square block that I can walk… it is about 3 miles. I hope to walk it at least twice a day. With the pace I walk with the dog I will be burning over 400 calories each time I do that walk.

In hopes- I will be walking 8 miles a day. That will help me lose some weight. I also will be doing different exercises throughout the day!

Wish me luck!
