Detox Day?

I started my detox this morning by making a less than yummy shake of blueberries, unsweetened almond milk, Intest Restore, Pomegranate powder, Stevia and vanilla extract. Jim decided to detox with me so I made him a shake, too. He nearly threw up twice before church. When we got to church, I asked my friend if she started her detox...when she said no, I was relieved! My mother-in-law was making brisket and I wanted some!

I confess...during church I decided since I was going to eat poorly after church tonight, I would wait and start the detox tomorrow. So needless to say, my plans to buy vegetables for lunch quickly dissipated when I suggested to Jim that we go to Olive Garden for lunch! Yikes.

I confess...I ordered the never-ending pasta bowl. The craziness of it all is that I went full knowing I was going to eat more than I should and yet I still ordered. Why is that? I did order water rather than soda but that's hardly an accomplishment. I ordered salad with the dressing on the side but again that's hardly anything to boast about. Thankfully I was too full to order a second bowl of pasta. But then again I just HAD to order the pumpkin cheescake, it is a seasonal item; after all who knows when we'll be going back? I must say it was delicious...I'm not even going to talk about the brisket sandwich I had tonight.

Tomorrow is another day. I confess I'm not ready to start the detox though since I never did get to the grocery store to buy vegetables. How early does the grocery store open? Oh yeah, Kroger is open all night.

My congrats to Jim for only almost throwing up twice after trying to drink that gross creation! I think I'd rather throw up and not even drink it to save my taste buds the grief! Yucky!

Post Script to Holy vs. Hypocritical

I thought I should define why I am lonely because for those that know me, I am very blessed. I have a wonderful husband, amazing kids, and a loving, supportive family but there are times when a woman needs a woman friend with whom she can confide. I had that and lost it. Never have I felt more secure in a friendship than with her. Then there was a turning point and it all changed. When I look back and try to figure out what went wrong, I go over scenarios in my head and what-ifs but I always come up with the fact that it really doesn’t matter how it came about but that it has happened. I must deal with it. Yet, every Sunday I grieve like one whose family member has died. Certain songs I hear just bring the hurt back to mind and I find myself grieving all the more. I compare many women I meet to her and they come up short. I’ve heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds” and have foolishly said it once or twice myself. However, I am not sure that it will ever heal...I can only pray that o...

Egypt Update #5

Just a quick update - I was able to talk with Jim earlier today. He said "Things are going well. Please tell everyone to keep doing what they're doing." So, keep praying! God is good and I can't wait to share with you all once he gets home all that He has done! Love you!

All Things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 How often do we wonder what God's plans are? How often do we think that He is not paying attention to the "trivialities" in our lives? I confess ... I am confident in the message of Romans 8 but yet I am weak and doubt time and time again. God, help my unbelief. Infuse me with your Spirit; grant me confidence each day.
