Sweets, Diets, and Long Suffering...

LOL, so me and Shawn are trying Weight Watchers. Doing pretty good. Except when people take you out to eat at bad, bad places, lol. But anyway, last night at church, one of the ladies made me a peanut butter roll. Why? Because a while back she was telling me about it, and I was like ooo, oooo, I want some. So, she brought it to me last night, unaware that we were trying to be "good." Basically if you've ever had the Reese's eggs at Easter time, it taste pretty close to that. The chocolate is a lot softer than a regular Reese's cup chocolate which makes it TO DIE FOR!! Yes, I ate a little piece. I'm trying to give some away and refrain from inhaling it, lol. And I'll probably end up giving it to the band guys this weekend.

So anyway, I hate when I have such sudden urges to go shopping and totally can't go, lol. That just really stinks! Or either I go anyway and end up in really bad predicaments when its time to pay bills. I find here lately that I have very bad self-control issues. It's harder for me to refrain from spending even when I know I'm not supposed to. What is up with that? It's not fair, lol. It probably won't be a good thing next year when we get our taxes back. I hope I can refrain and be wise with my money. There will definitely be some debts paid off FOR SURE!! But I may save some for some shopping sprees : )

"I Pee My Pants" by Caitlyn Cox

Caitlyn's newest hit!!

Vacation

I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday. This week is going way too fast. But I've gotten to spend some sweet time with my babies, got my hair done, and am now down spending some time with my family. I ordered Nikki's house warming invites and some business cards for myself. Can't wait to see those when they come in. I need to finish some more marketing packets. Anyone need any product?? Business cards, flyers, anything?? : )

It's almost Halloween. Caitlyn was going to be a ladybug, but she meow's everytime I turn around, so we went out and got her a cute little kitty outfit tonight. So she's going to be meowing in her cute little kitty outfit. She'll be so cute! Haven't decided where we're going yet. My neighborhood is pretty boring, plus RPM will be in Atlanta on the 31st. We'll be singing at a crusade down there. We'll figure something out though.

I'm in the 'writing songs' mood but have no keyboard down here. Kinda wanna write some regular songs versus worship songs. Just have this feeling, plus Shawn and I have talked about possibilities for RPM. Anyway, such random thoughts I know. Really tired, I should just go to bed. Okay, goodnight : )

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you've never done. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."

A friend of mine posted this on their facebook status. I've always heard, "to get something you never had, you have to do something you've never done." Shawn used that religiously in worship at a previous church. But to hear, "when God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better," that really makes sense. I've never thought of it that way, but that's exactly what God does. So many times, we blame God for pulling us away from a comfortable place or removing certian people from our lives, when he has to do that in some cases to take us forward.

"The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you." I believe his grace is sufficient for all of us, deserving or not. And I cannot be thankful enough that His grace protects me in every situation. It may seem at times that He's not there or He doesn't have his blanket of grace over me, but as invisible as it may seem, it's very visible in His presence.
