We Serve An Awesome God!

I serve an awesome God and am so thankful for the changes coming about in me! I added a lot of scripture and have changed my "lifestyle" plan to incorporate more study and more prayer for wisdom to bring about the changes necessary in my life to get healthy! And . . . . of course, I'm changing as I seek more of Him!

Dr L is a Christian and someone I admire a lot. I know that she cares about me and cares about the way I feel and whether or not I am doing things that will help me to be healthier. I believe that I was led to Dr L years ago because I was really having a difficult time with my health and from the beginning; she has treated my "whole" person rather than the symptoms I presented to her. When I went to see her on Friday, she started me on some supplements - different than she had me on before and I can't believe how much better I feel already! This is so totally the feeling I need to remember when I have trouble resisting temptation!

I actually came home today and worked in my flowerbed for a while. I got all the old stuff off the plants where they had bloomed and the blooms died. I also trimmed my rose bushes - they have so many buds on them! They are going to be so beautiful when they're in full bloom. Even the ones I got from Michael and Elizabeth's house have buds!

My job is going great and I absolutely love the women I work with - there are no men in our office which is why I always talk about the women! I am learning new things every day and am beginning to learn my way around - a little better! I still have issues in the parking department unfortunately!

Have you ever sat in a parking lot at Wal-Mart or the grocery store or anywhere for that matter and seen people walking around looking lost because they can't remember where they parked - not even the general vicinity? Well, that's me! One day last week, my friend Debbie and I walked down to the garage together and she - can you imagine? - knew exactly where she parked her Suburban (who couldn't find a tank like that, right?) and I couldn't remember where I parked!

Debbie kept asking me if I wanted her to drive me around the garage and help me find it, but I told her no, I would find it! I was walking halfway down towards the opposite end of the garage when Debbie called me. I turned around and she had stopped behind my car and sat there pointing at the car until I got back up there! What a great friend!

I remember one day Addy and I went to Wal-Mart in Norman and I drove Elizabeth's car. When we came out of the store we walked around and around and I told Addy I couldn't remember where we parked. I said to her, "You'd think we would be able to spot that red camper shell on the truck

I am really encouraged by how I'm feeling and even though all of the stress has not left my life yet (I know - it never will), I am feeling better able to handle the stress. I am praising God for the changes He is making in me!

I would like to ask for prayer for Chance. He had some tests done last week and Dr L called me with the results on Tuesday and wants to repeat the test due to the results found last week! This has been one of those "stressors" I've been dealing with but, as I said, I feel better and feel better to handle things as well.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds. --Philippians 4:6-7
