Sing...Sing a Song...

Songs keep running through my head...non stop!
doing my hair, writing emails, making coffee and just plain vegging....they are continual!

And I am SO thankful!! The are a constant reminder that I'm not alone in all the changes that we're facing....

The one that cracks me up the most is:

My God is so Big, so strong and so mighty there's nothing my God cannot do!

Yes, back to Sunday School! But it just keeps going...like the song that never ends! Well...until the other one chimes in that is...

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and Righteousness....I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand....All other ground is sinking Sand.

Ah....I well up.

How grateful I am that with fears trying to creep in, doubts and what if's try to crowd my mind and take over to bring unsettled uneasy feelings...
I can have my soul singing and completely dispelling those thoughts and bringing complete...utter, unfathomable Peace....which passes all understanding!

Why feel at complete peace in the face of so many unknowns and changes? Knowing full well I don't have what it takes on my own to take me through it all.
Cuz I have promises from my Heavenly Father who cares more about me than the birds and fish, the land he created and the water He set in place.

Be anxious about NOTHING, but...in EVERYTHING, with THANKSGIVING, let  your request be made known to God! AND....the PEACE of God....which passes ALL UNDERSTANDING....will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus!

Phew! And yup!! True to His word....my heart is guarded and my mind is peaceful. And I....am eternally Grateful!!

My God is SO big, SO strong and SO mighty!! There is NOTHING my God cannot do!!
For you.

My Journal Entry " April 17/12 Tuesday"

Journal:

I've been reading about dieting.

Slow carb
                          Sugar Free
         Weight watchers
                                                    Low carb
                                                                              Raw food
                            Vegan
                                                                                                          
Blah blah blah.....


What to do with it all? What is really Maintainable?

This is!

-Eating healthy, whole foods.
-Don't over eat.
-Watch your portions.

-Exercise for strengthening your heart and body, NOT to lose weight.
             AND
-Don't be STUPID.

Be sensible and realize that diets....don't.....work!!



I am:
- Cutting back on flour, sugar and fruit cuz I can and for me, it's a good thing to do!




 Being smart and intelligent about how and what I eat. I'm diffusional to think I can

 eat:

what I want

when I want 

how much I want

And not gain weight and even think I'll lose!?

Unless........ 

I make those "wants" SMART that is!

If they aren't smart....and in fact stupid, then my results will show it!

If I want to make stupid choices, then I need to realize they will make me look stupid if I expect any other results and if I don't take responsibility and acknowledge I won't get the results I want!!

Stupid choices constantly IN ( my pie hole)

Stupid to think I'll get good results!

 2 stupids don't make a smart.

When will people learn? If you eat crap you'll feel like crap and look like crap.
You aren't 15 any more and you DO in FACT need to be responsible for what you eat. Processed food is crap.
Ok...preachin' to the choir, I know.
I know what is the right thing to eat. I'm one smart cookie ( which I only indulge in on occasion) and I know that I know that I KNOW!!

Diets

Do

Not 

Work

and neither can they be maintained....or if they can....who the heck wants to?

I like my cake
but I won't eat it for every meal

I love french fries
but I don't have them on a daily or even weekly menu...or flip, even monthly!

I adore baking
but it's saved for special occasions ( which do NOT include waking up, which is a gift every day and worth celebrating btw)

I love love love chocolate
and ok, so I eat it every day.....but it's in small quantities and it's actually good for me ( whatever, it's my little life indulgence, go find your own)

There ya have it.
My little rant about dieting and being stupid.

Which I'm not.....and I really believe others aren't either.....?

So I know better
And I'm doing better.......

for the most part.

hehehehe

                                          

Let's look at this now...

So here we are.

Our comfort zone is shrinking.

Our known reality is changing.

And we have a choice.....along with the many that have led us to this point.

Freak out? Focus on what we are leaving behind? Mourn the loss of what "was"? Worry about the "unknowns"?

OR

Embrace it.  And have fun!

Like I said, it's been choices that led us here. Some we calculated, others we just threw caution to the wind and just did it! But no bones about it....we made choices.

And dang it! I'm gonna enjoy the ride! We both are!

Don't get me wrong...I shed tears over my big comfy chair leaving yesterday. I have a headache cuz I have no great spot of comfort to veg in. And I am concerned as to how the heck we're gonna fit all this "stuff" into our car and RV.....but....

We are venturing out on what others fear to do, we're taking on a life change and following through with what we said we were gonna do!

And LOOK!! We haven't shriveled up and died! hahaha

I have NO idea what lies ahead....no clue. I know what I "want" to happen. And I know what we're gonna do to try to "make" it happen.
And I also know that wanting and making are handed over to Faith, Trust, Hope and Belief that:  "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

So.....we walk out this step of Faith....it's an adventure. And we still have to make choices on what we are gonna focus on.
The good?
The bad?
The ugly?
The excitement?
The unknowns?
The adventure?
The amazing things that are just outside our comfort zone?

Like a new...big comfy chair? Or a cozy little corner on the end of our RV's sofa.

I'm all good. Comfort zones are really a choice also.... Being comfortable with change and we're good to go!
