things are just rolling along now - Carla is home getting back to normal......she is driving herself around - losing weight - looking good - feeling almost back to normal.
Pop is doing great
Jake is doing great - loving Karate and school...............we took him to the Leeland concert last week - he was so excited! Mr. Robert is a great friend of Leeland's family - so he got Jake backstage and Jake got to meet the band - that was the tip of the cake for Jake - he was beyond excited.
My hubby is working hard..........we don't get to see very much of him - but we love the weekends with him - he is a great man!
I'm pretty much just volunteering at Jake's school twice a week - keeping tabs on what he is doing and how he is doing. Meeting lots of parents and making new friends. I love his school. I'm also going to the gym 4 times a week and doing weight watchers....I'm also doing a bible study on Tuesday nights, church on Wednesday nights and choir on Thursday nights - so, I stay extremely busy....however, I do miss my job............and the people at Elevator Repair service - they are great!!! But, I know that I'm doing the right thing by being home and being accessible for my in laws and being home for Jake.
I'm also very excited about the fall season! This is my absolute favorite time of year - from October through January - I LOVE IT! My house is decorated for fall - and I'm jonesing to put up my tree already!!!!! Can't wait to start baking and making holiday cookies, pies, cakes.....etc. Why do I always start Weight watchers in the FALL!!!!! LOL
My devotion today from Joyce Meyers was too good to pass up sharing with you - hope you enjoy.
Think as God Thinks:
Provers 23:7 teaches us that we become what we think. Indeed, "where the mind goes, the man follows". One of the first principles believers must learn if we intend to walk in real victory is that our minds must be renewed according to the word of God. We must learn to think like God.
Sadly we believe many things that simply are not true. For example, some people believe they have no worth and value because people have said they do not or have treated them in a way that made them feel worthless and devalued. However, the Bible makes clear that we are so valuable to God that he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die and suffer in our place in order that we might be redeemed from our sins and have an intimate relationship with him.
As we learn to think as God thinks, we exchange depression and hopelessness for joyful expectation. We believe God has a wonderful future planned for us, no matter what our past has been like. WE believe God wants to bless us.
When we have negative thoughts, we end up with negative results. But, positive thoughts open the door for God to work in our lives. If we think we are unable to do certain things, we will be rendered unable - even though God's word says that we can do anything god asks us to do because of his ability in us (see Philippians 4:13) Our thoughts are that powerful.
We must all change our way of thinking before our lives will change. Romans 12:2 says we are not to conform to the world and it's ways, but we are to completely renew our minds and attitudes so we can prove for ourselves the good and perfect will of God. In other words, God has good plans for us, but we will not experience them if we cling to old ways of thinking.
We must cast down wrong thinking and replace it with thinking that God approves of. The mind is the battlefield on which our war with Satan is won or lost. Satan is a liar and a deceiver. His lies become our reality only when we believe them. Stop allowing your mind to be a garbage dump for Satan's trash and instead, make it available for God's ideas. Then you will enjoy a life worth living and have the testimony of bearing good fruit for God's glory!
Amen!!!
Have a blessed day - love each of you
Karen
