Over the past month my diet plan has slowly slipped and for the past couple of weeks I have felt myself spiral out of control. I went a year and a half doing great then I had a life crisis and felt myself falling down a rabbit hole so deep that I couldn’t find my way out.
Well, here we are. The shopping days are counting down and if we haven’t already ordered our gifts online it is too late. We are left with whatever they have at Target or various gift cards.
Well, I wasn’t planning on posting about the diet challenge more than once, but then I prayed. And you know what happens when you pray….God gives you a new plan. As I prayed for you, I felt like I was supposed to keep sharing this so y’all won’t lose ground.
Here we are. The week of Thanksgiving and I haven’t given a single thought to what we will be eating on Thursday. Not to mention shopping for food. Oi, the crowds!
Read the whole chapter of Isaiah 41 for some deep encouragement! When you are feeling like you are alone, turn to the Bible for comfort. When you are consumed with the pain of discovering that your child has betrayed you….He is there.
I spent the past weekend in the beautiful city of Greenville, South Carolina for the Allume conference. I think of it as a women’s retreat for bloggers. It’s definitely not like any other blog conference I have been to.
My friend Sara and I took two of my daughters to the city to pick up their friend from the airport. We shopped and we ate and we went to Costco….you know. City stuff.
I hope you don’t mind this food for thought from someone who is very, very different than you. As an introvert, I do not enjoy being in crowds or walking up to strangers and talking.
On Friday night we went to dinner at a friend’s house and stayed way too late. This mamma doesn’t do midnight anymore. My system starts to shut down around 9…..
First I will say that I not only don’t mind, I appreciate it when other people correct my children. It doesn’t happen very often because I am almost always right there and I am quick to correct my kids.
