4 Steps Forward, 3 Back
Life was a little "ajar" today. Nothing went terribly wrong, but nothing went really well, either. I don't believe in superstitions, so, I'm not going to blame in on Friday the 13th. If life was a board game, I guess I would have gone 4 steps forward and 3 steps backward.
Until the Lord returns, there will be more days like today, but I hope not very many of them. Until then, Lord, please help me to be more patient; less critical; more discerning; less worrisome/fearful; and all that I can be through You.
Thank you Lord, for your Holy Spirit (the encourager) and for the Body of Christ that lifts me up when I need help. Thank you for your Word--living and breathing, sharper than any 2-edged sword.
Fitness Tip: Some days you will feel that you have not made much progress--the 3 steps forward, 4 steps backwards concept, but take heart, after consistent work, in no time, you will be seeing some great results.

Sorry about the bad day! What you need is for someone to stack the deck for you so you don't go back! When my boys were little and we had played enough Candy Land for the night, we would stack the deck to ensure that they got Queen Frostine (which put them almost to finish). We also made sure they didn't get one of the cards that sent them backwards. Then they would win and we would all celebrate! (And they would go to bed!!!) I miss those days sometimes...
boy do i know the kind of day you are talking about! lucky for me, today (and yesterday) was not one of those days. hope you are having a better weekend!
thanks for the offer to help out with the weight loss! i just need someone to hold my hand and get me started, i think. if i could afford a personal trainer that's what i would do! will have to hold myself accountable and get something started, though! walking is a good idea...thanks.
I am so blessed to have such good friends and encouragers! I felt so much better just reading your comments. Love you guys!
