it's thursday~day five in the diet devo...

I got some pictures from Amanda last night that she emailed from her phone. She texted me that they confiscated her pepper spray at the border and I thought she was joking, but she took a picture of the confiscation form that she had to sign. I don't know if she even remembered the pepper spray was in her purse, it's a key chain. With all the bad things going on in the world, you just have to take measures for safety. She is such a beautiful young girl. She called from her room late last night and said she loved it in Montreal, that it was very European there. She said there was graffiti on a lot of things and predicted the new people mover they rode out on would be decorated by graffiti before they come home. I hope not. It was good to hear her voice and weird that she is so far away from me. I haven't heard from my little campers. They must be having a good time.

It's day five in the diet devo book...

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Once we decide for ourselves that being overweight is wrong, then it is vital that we put ourselves in God's hands. Though being overweight is not a sin, few people would say it is good. We should avoid everything that is not good. God will help us whenever we turn from things that are bad. Prayer is an important part of our attempts to lose weight. We can trust God to bless all our efforts to do what we feel is right. There is no reason to feel guilty for being overweight, for God forgives us our weakness and offers His own strength as our own. We can start our diets with a clear conscience and an assurance that God is with us every step of the way.

Today's thought:
We have nothing to feel guilty about.

I finally posted a little update on Izzy's blog. I get griped at for spending a lot of time on my blog while neglecting Izzy's blog which was the start of blogging... I just have more to say than Izzy :o) and when there is something to report, believe me... I will write it everywhere. But, I know people read it who are family and friends and they are looking for some information there. I will try to do better... I have asked a few people about re-doing her blog. I haven't really gotten replies and Susie is too busy. I just put that template on there, but would like something more "izzy."

Another quiet day for me & Iz. I'm going to throw dinner in the crock pot and do some housework and yard work, get her in the stander a few times, try to do some therapy with her, I was going to wash and vacuum my car but it is pouring outside so that will wait. I just saw on the news that there is flooding in western oklahoma.

I heard a speaker last night say that an intercessor is simply the one declaring a winner. That was really interesting to me, you always hear about intercessory prayer. The speaker went on to say I declare victory over you and the devil is defeated. I hope to study this a little more this afternoon.

*this just in*... you know my wonderful red kitchen aid immersion blender I have raved about that I use for Izzy's food? It just died. It got jammed on one of her juice plus vitamins and now it won't work. I am trying with all my might to play the glad game about this... I guess I'm glad that I get an excuse to go to Target today?...
