The big thing isn't whether we have problems...the big thing is your attitude toward problems. Sure you can't ignore facts; but the atittude with which you approach the facts is all-important

Hi Friends,

I just wanted to check in with you all today.

Godsbeloved, thanks for starting this new thread.

Berta, that's so wonderful that you made it through the ladies luncheon without cheating. I wish I could be so blessed!

Arroyo, have a safe trip. We'll be here if you need support!

Trisha, I don't remember if I ever responded to you, but I'm 5'4" and currently weight 207. Usually, I linger between 190 and 200, but since I moved back home (for a year now,) I've managed to pack on more weight (as if I really needed more.)

Gavinsmom, LA Lady, and anyone else I've missed, I hope you're all doing well.

As for me, I'm still waiting to hear back about my blood work. I was supposed to hear back on the 16th, and haven't yet. I'm sure the dr's. office is very busy; I'm kind of annoyed; please pray that I am patient.

Also, I really need everyone's prayers because my second interview with the American Cancer Society is this Friday. I also decided to look for jobs in Southern California because my closest friends live out there--so if anyone knows a non-profit organization that is looking for someone, please let me know!

Well, time to get back to work. Please remember me in your prayers, as I pray that our heavenly Father bless each of you during this special holiday season.

Jen


PS: Has anyone heard from Lataisha lately? I hope she's doing okay.

Jen praying that God will give you a great interview, and praying that he will open doors for you.


Berta that is cool about your luncheon today, you did awesome. You are doing so great, that weight is gonna start melting off you girl.

Well its night time........ eek No just joking, I feel pretty confident that I am gonna make it through the night without cheating. I am not really hungry, and I have a headache....... I think it will be a early bed time, after spending some time with my father in prayer.

God bless you ladies and have a good night sleep.

OMGOSH ,

We are on post 19 already .

God is doing a GREAT work on this thread and the connection just has me in aw .

arroyo - praying for a safe and blessed trip for you and yours!

To anyone else that may be traveling, be safe and blessed .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daily Devotion:

December 20


'To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.' Revelation 3:21

Gramps promised Kathy that if she would lose forty pounds by Christmas, he would take her to Bermuda with him. Kathy could hardly wait for Gramps to see her. She'd topped out at fifty-three pounds lost, and had a note from her doctor as documented proof. At first, she never thought she'd make it, but a lot of prayers, sweat, tears, and sacrifice had made it come true. She had never worked so hard for anything in her life. Even without the trip, she felt she'd received reward enough, but she planned to hold Gramps to his promise, anyway.


Today's thought: I'd rather be overjoyed than overweight!

Jen you are in my prayers for the FAVOR of God to go with you on these interviews and that the Lord will touch the heart of the person making the decisions.

Lataisha hasn't been on for a while . I pray that all is well with her.
