lazy

This last week I've been feeling great! I've been juicing once a day and made it to the gym 3 times this week. Just that simple change has increased my energy level a ton. Having more energy has made me realize how LAZY I've been lately. Lazy with eating habits (even with my food allergy limitations I've managed to gain some weight), I've been lazy with investing in the family, lazy with housework, lazy with exercising, and the most important one - I've been lazy spiritually.

I've slowly been getting back into the place of prayer, shaking off whatever lazy attitude I was developing. After going through these rough seasons, when that fresh revelation comes from the Lord there is nothing sweeter and more precious. I never want to leave that place. But I know I have to battle my flesh.. daily.. if I want to maintain that sweet place with the Lord. I have to "work out my salvation with fear and trembling" Phil 2:12 and I must "lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us (me), and let us (me) run with endurance the race that is set before us (me)." Hebrews 12:1b

Today has been one of those amazing days that I don't want to end, I've accomplished so much. I know that I was able to because the Lord allowed me to. I have been walking in my own strength not accomplishing much.  I'm writing this as a reminder to myself.   I have a tendency to forget lessons I've learned..




Fun train time with the boys.  This track took us a long time to build.




Tea and lunch time with Rose.



I had good quiet time, finished God's promises, went to the gym, cleaned the whole house (including mopping and vacuuming), did all the laundry, painted in the girls room, played with the kids (good quality playing), and rearranged the loft.  While moving furniture I decided to do something with these frames I had sitting against a wall.  I like the look.  I have some more outside on our fence that I spray painted teal last summer.

Now it is movie night and Bobby and I get to hang out!  Have a wonderful Friday night!  :)

Unpacking

What's on my mind? Unpacking.. What am I avoiding? Unpacking..

I am not doing so well this time around with unpacking. I started staining the fence last week mostly because the outside is clean and in order. The inside however is another story. I am SO very tired. I went to the dentist last week and was informed I have a tooth abscess and need two root canals. I already know I need two more on the other side of my mouth.. The dentist's quote for the work was $8,000...........
Anyway, the antibiotics I'm on for the abscess might be the cause of this extreme tiredness I'm feeling, not to mention I have to take the pills every 6 hours causing me to set my alarm for the middle of the night to take one. Today I woke up, ate breakfast and was ready for a nap. Praying for some energy and a solution to my on going teeth problem. I have been doing some research on Celiac Disease for numerous reasons. I've found that tooth decay is one symptom of the disease. I remember going to the dentist when I was 16. The tech was impressed with how clean my teeth were and she thought I wouldn't have any cavities. When the x-rays came back they showed I had 10 cavities and needed one root canal. The dentist and tech were shocked. He asked me why my teeth were decaying so much. Maybe I can figure out that reason.
