Prayer requests

I am a little blue this week and need some prayer. We are having to close my little store that I run but are keeping our main store open. I am glad to be rid of the stress of supplying and staffing two stores. I am sad that it was not a success. I am worried about going to work at the main store again after having my own little territory.

I have started a new shot to prevent some of the problems I discussed in the previous post. It makes me hungry all the time. I know I have gained probably five pounds and I do not want to go backwards I want to go forwards in weight loss.

I am tired all the time. I have yet to recuperate from being on the go constantly in Orlando and immediately starting VBS at church. I worked everyday until 3:30 then went to church to prepare and would get home at 9:30. I was hoping to rest some Sunday but I could not sleep, I don't know why but I couldn't. I also had a unrestful night last night. I just need a good night's rest. I need to get rested so I can get back into my workout routine. I have no desire or energy at this point.

I was on a spiritual high after VBS last week. We had 17 kids come and I thought that was awesome because we average 1-2 elementary kids and 2-3 preschoolers for church on Sundays. We also have not had a VBS is 5-6 years. The non-supportive members of my church said, "I heard you only had 17 kids", I respond, "17 was awesome, we had alot of one on one time with them and it was a great week". They said, "in the past we had 40", I respond "in the past we had alot of kids coming to church on Sundays". I hate negativity and every direction I went on Sunday someone was being negative but the pastor. It took all my might not to say, If you didn't bother to come help or check it out then you are not entitled to an opinion. So my spiritual high went to a real fast low.

Uggh! Can you tell with all this going on that I am in a little " funk " right now. It is not depression but it is one of the low points in life. I do not like to askfor prayer for myself but I really need help changing my mindset right now. Please pray for me.

Good News

I did not post last week that I had a follow-up visit to my surgery from December. They had found some cells that could lead to uterine cancer in the future with the biopsy in December. I was put on a six month drug treatment. Last Wednesday I had another biopsy performed to see if the treatment worked and it did. Praise the Lord. The biopsy came back normal.

Secondly, we had a great week in Florida and I am exhausted. We missed the evening parade at Magic Kingdom because we went home to rest for a little while but then the rains and storms came. We were going to go back on Saturday but were so tired from the convention and Sea World on Friday that we stayed at our pool and rested on Saturday. I am off to sleep. VBS starts tomorrow, no rest for the weary.

HI HO! HI HO! It's off to Disney I go....

HI HO! HI HO! It's off to Disney I go , well for two days anyway. Our Christian Booksellers Convention is in Orlando this year. My sister has rented a house for us all to stay in. We are going to Disney with them on Sunday. Then off to work at the convention until Thursday. On Friday we are doing Sea World and on Saturday, one last stop at Disney. WOOHOO! The only park I have ever been to there was Epcot, I have been twice and still have yet to finish all the countries.

My sister, BIL and nephew get the joy of Disney all week. I am jealous.

Well off I go, pray for safe travels.

 

PS:  No WW. No Points. No Gluttony. I am going to enjoy but not over indulge.
