Just a few verses to get you through the day!
2 Corinthians 12:9
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Assignment: Blog about 1-2 weaknesses you are dealing with right now..So Christ's power may rest on you!

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you WILL carry it on to completion until the day of Christ!!

Strawberries and a HUGE party!
Well being that Saturday was Sweetest Day ( A Cleveland holiday!). I had told Josh last week how bad I wanted Chocolate covered strawberries! Well Sweetest Day came and almost went. I was driving around that day seeing all the flower vendors on street corners, wishing my husband would be so sweet..Forgetting all about my request for the strawberries. Later that night he had to go collect some money form customers. He took Merci along. When they got home Merci comes barging in the door..."Mommy, mommy daddy got you a surprise. He bought you chocolate strawberries." SURPRISE! Well I was surprised because I had forgot about the fact that Malley's has those wonderful things. So knowing that I had to eat them before they went bad I pigged out!! It took me less than 24 hours to eat the whole box minus 2..Which Merci ate!
Last night was my 1st of 6 Tastefully Simple parties in the next 2 weeks. It was AWESOME. There was like 13 people there and the grand total was a little over $500!!! YEAH. Thanks to Jennifer for hosting it for me! She earned $50 in free product!! This was only my 3rd party so I would say I am doing good. I am excited for the rest of my parties. Want to have one?? It is really fun!
Other than that not much going on. Reading blogs and cleaning the house all day! Loving the Lord and trying to grow in HIM daily.
Really does anybody want or know of someone who wants a cat?? Pokey is affectionate, a BIG eater, and adorable. He was born on March 18th, he is 7 months old and pretty big. We have seen him almost get hit 4 times this week. Our street is a bus route and fairly busy. He loves our neighbor across the street who feed him too. But the running back and forth is soooo dangerous. Josh said the RTA had to slam on it's brakes to miss him. I saw a car do the same 2 times the other day! I am scared to see him dead in the street. He is fixed and has had all immunizations. Ask around!

I'm doing it!
All summer I tried to workout. All of July and August I didn't work out at all (BIG WASTE OF $).
When Merci started school I had NO excuse, because I workout (or try to work out) at the YMCA. Which is literally in the same parking lot as her school. So I have been pretty good. I usually do 2 times a week. So during the summer I was 124. Then when Merci went back to school I was 126. 2 weeks ago I was 124 again. YEAH. And than today....Let me tell you something, I have these pair of jeans and this weekend I noticed I had to keep pulling them up, I thought maybe I hadn't washed them in awhile and they were just stretching out. And then I notices my inner thighs don't rub together as much as they used to. And then I thought I was just imagining...Wanting all of this to happen. But today when I weighed myself I was 120!! I am doing it. I am so happy.
**I don't want to be a "skinny mini" who thinks she is fat. But I do have some areas that need toned up. After I had Merci the pounds melted off ( I was only 19 and 98 lbs then) this time with Ethan.... Well let me say ouch!
**** I just looked it up I was around 125 lbs when I was 26 weeks pregnant with Merci and only 21 weeks with Ethan. WOW. That is horrible.
But I am doing it! 6 lbs lost!! Without too much effort. Yeah me!

What do I want to say?
I am not sure why I am blogging. Not too much going on. No new pictures. Camping this weekend wasn't the best. Rained for over 24 hours so we left. We were party poopers! Kudos to those who endured the 3 1/2 days of rain!
So what is God trying to teach me lately?? I am not sure. I went to 48 hop and learned how to pray creatively. Somehow I have felt that playing with Ethan for hours has been my prayer the past week or so. Does this count??? Everytime I am going to sit down and read my notes from the prophetic prayer class and go deeper into the scriptures brought to us. I just get distracted by my handsome little man. Every time. I have felt like he just need his mommy time more lately.
Josh went up to get prayed over by Steve Sjorgen (sp?) on Sunday. He got an image that Josh was like one of those very fast boats that skip on top of the water. He felt like God had him on a fast track to HIM. How right on is that! So it is good to know this LONG, HARD journey is really getting us closer to HIM!
I have been burden by an unthinkable thing happening to a family who is semi close to us. It really PISSES ME OFF (yeah sorry not the best wording to use) that satan has plans to ruin families and people, and these people choose these curses to live rather than the blessing sitting right next to them. Pray for TRUTH TO BE REVEALED!!
Wednesday is my exciting day this week I get to go pick up Ethan's pictures!!! Why is he so cute?? Well that is all for now. Just needed to "journal" a few thoughts. I needed so me time on the computer away from the "upstairs"!! Bye!
