January 29, 2011- 100 Day Challenge

-
Wow what a difference a few days make! We went from 5 inches of snow to 65 degree weather today. It was so nice to see the sun again but the news is talking some more wintery weather some time this coming week, oh brother! The kids and I enjoyed a nice day outside. The kids were able to ride their bikes and I took a little walk up and down our driveway. I am really excited about moving to the city but I think I will miss days like today. The kids playing in our huge yard. The dogs chasing each other in the yard. Enjoying the quietness of the country and enjoying a traffic free road. Anyway, I snapped a few pictures of the kids while we were outside. I also posted a picture from the other day. The sunset was so beautiful I had to get a picture!

Well tomorrow we start the launch of the 2nd campus for our church. Last week just the volunteers met to go over everything and have a time of worship and prayer together. Tomorrow it will be open for the community to come and join us. We are really excited to see what God is going to do in the city of Clarksville and in our own lives!

Ok, we have a lot of change about to happen in our lives. All this change has got me thinking about some changes I personally need to make in my life. So to help get me motivated I have decided to take a 100 day challenge. This will begin tomorrow and end May 9th. For the next 100 days I am going to strive to make better habits in my diet, exercise, finances, and my devotion life. I know that sounds like a lot to take on and I know that I will not reach all the goals that I have but I at least have the goals. I am going to use this blog as my accountability. I already have a friend that is going to take the challenge with me so let me know if you would also like to join in!

 Oh, hey. Just dropping in to unload the million thoughts going on in my head. I know it's been awhile and once again I am writing this from my phone, so please excuse any mistakes. I am wearing my reading glasses since the last time I posted so maybe writing from my phone won't be as bad as it usually is.   I'm a little bit of a mess these days and I am entering the time of the year that is the hardest on me emotionally,  mentally,  and spiritually. These next few months are filled with dates that broke me. There are dates the next few months that take me back to the darkest days I have experienced.  I enter this fight with the demons that seemed to have attached themselves to me 22 years ago. Praise Jesus, He gave me victory from those demons, but this time of year they like to rear their ugly heads and I struggle. Cancer gave me so many wonderful people and experiences that would not be part of who I am now. But cancer and the trauma that  followed ...

  "I live with a difficult child. That is really hard to write, but the truth is that I have lived with a difficult child for about 14 years. The last few years have been unbearable at times."  I haven't written a post in a long time. The main reason is that I don't have a personal computer (my work computer will not let me log in with my personal email) and I absolutely hate writing from my phone, but here I am needing to write,so I write. When I logged on this evening I found that I had started to write a post on May 23, 2022, but never finished it. We had just come off one of the most difficult years with Chloe. I could be found most nights just crying in my bathroom or screaming, "I can't live in this house with her anymore!" Her treatment towards me had escalated so intensely that I didn't even speak to her for several days and I was a little afraid of her. She had been making so many poor choices at home and we just tried to keep them hidden. I...

Wednesday, October 26, 2011- You are cordially invited...to my pity party

Okay. So life has been hard these past few weeks. Well, maybe not life in general, but I have been having a rough time. So, I am choosing to have myself a little pity party. If you would like to join me, keep reading. I do not talk much about my fibromyalgia. One, I do not like to complain and I feel like I am just a big complainer when I do talk about it. Two, the truth is that if you do not have it you cannot fully wrap your mind or sympathy around the pain I feel every day of my life. Over the past two years I really have learned to live with it. My husband and kids would see a glimpse of my pain, but I even tried to hide it from them. I really struggle with letting people know my own hurt and pain. Almost a year ago I was finally diagnosed and was able to get a mild relief from the intense pain. Of course the first few medicines work for a few months but then I was changed to a more powerful medicine. Well, about a month ago my pain has returned at full force. I was scheduled to go...
