Renewed, Revived, and Redirected
I had A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD I NEEDED IT!!!!! I AM BACK, READY TO GO AND OUT OF MY 2 FRIDAYS IN A ROW Drought!!!
It was a beautiful weekend here in Texas. Warm and sunny...and if I had brought my bathing suit home I would have whipped that thing out lily white legs and all. Friday night we nixed Thai food and headed to the mall for Mexican food and the 2 dollar movie. YES, I said 2 dollars. I am so jealous that Denton's mall has this. We saw 
"Ps...I love you". Girls,,,,,,it was wonderful and I am sad that I did not see it sooner. What a real/transparent picture of lose and love. I LOVED IT!!! We all cried like babies.
So I drove home, about an hour north, to get away.

We all cried like babies.Saturday I woke up and found my mom in the dining room working on her bible study " Stepping Up" the new one by Beth. She loves it. So I grabbed my bible and did my "Journey" the little daily devotional from lifeway......it is wonderful you must get it. While I was doing that I kept feeling like i needed to cry. So I started talking to my mom and before I knew it I realized that the last 2 weeks I have not done a bible study due to " A Heart like his" ending...I was just doing my little journey. IT just wasn't enough. I need a lot of time in the word and when I am not doing it I feel like I felt the last two fridays......low and unenthused. Plus, the Holy Spirit has been convicting me of my lack of exercise lately .So after talking it out I have a new game plan for my weekly schedule and I no long feel overwhelmed and crazy.....
We then got dressed and headed to Mardels to get My new workbook and get a little walk in...
this is me revived and no longer under Satan's attack of "overwhelmed"
So for my game plan.....

Mondays, Thurs, Sat
Mondays, Thurs, SatI have not been completely honest with you girls........ I am Jazzercises #1 dancer. And yes I am the youngest one there. Anyone that knows me knows that I love to perform. I can't help it. I have always been this way. When I was 3 years old I told my mom that I wanted a full length mirror and flashlight for Christmas. Why? Because I liked performing and lip-singing even then and of course every little girl needs her own spot light!!!!! Over a year ago I was really putting on the weight, headed to the doctor to see if something was wrong, and found out I was just fat. So I headed straight to Jazzercise where I could not only drop the weight but live out my deep desire to dance like on "Girls just want to have Fun". So today I start back. Last week I would not have gone, this week the Lord has give me excitement back and the desire to keep my temple fit!

Stepping Up bible study. I am doing this study by myself like I did, the patriarchs and to live is Christ. I like having a little flexibility with it. I listened to the intro last night and one of the first things she said was..." Girls, where you are is not where you will always be". The study is about us women walking up the steps of the temple on our pilgrimage. It is about God taking us to the next level spiritually which is exactly where I am. I was in a drought and in need of revival and he has placed this in my lap!!! Praise you!!

Had a great steak, baked potatoes, and salad. Mom and I then went for a 3 mile walk. They live in horse and plane country. Horses everywhere and old planes flying in the sky. The land is flat and the stars at night are everywhere!!!!! Very nice. Went with them to church on Sunday and enjoyed hearing my dad's sunday school lesson. He is a funny guy.
Can I just freely say that I Praise the Lord for not letting me live in that drought longer than 2 weeks. See I was overwhelmed but really didn't want to just name it. And as Beth says, "Deal with it or it will deal with you". For it is for freedom that Christ has set us Free, stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery! I am so thankful that he loves us enough to get us out of town so that he can give us some perspective. Thank you to all that listened. I am back to Caroline and I feel like Father has given me new strength and trust. And I am counting down the hours till Jazzercise cause when Christina Aguilera's “Candy Man" comes on there ain't no stopping my swing dance moves!!!!!
