to-do tuesday....................

I have a couple of classes this morning and then will pick the kids up and then off to take some more picture's of the listing I have in Portsmouth. Realtor.com let's you add more picture's than MLS does. You tube also has a place that you can post listing's. I would really like to get this place gone not only for my own self, but for the people who own the house. This is my first listing and I received it at the end of September. It has been a great experience learning how to market a property. So, I have been keeping this home in my prayer's and asking that God find the right people for it and that the owner's can have some blessing in their finances, as well as my family. I guess is what I want is to also show my husband and family that all the hard work of going to school and being in the training can pay off.

When I made the decision to get into real estate, it wasn't something I jumped into to quickly. I felt that the Holy Spirit had moved me to do this. I was praying for a part-time job that would allow me to be able to take my children to school and pick them up, to be able to attend church both on Wave Women Wednesday's and Sunday Services, to be able to get our finances in order, they had been out of control for awhile, but it all came to a HALT back in August of 2008 when the Zoning of the city said that you can only have 5 unrelated children in daycare. No matter if your State licensed or not. So in the blink of an eye our financial world crumbled. Now, it took me awhile to understand what God's purpose was, and I am still in TRAINING. I went through the depressed stage, I went through the I'm so mad at this and that. I know that we were living high above our income, like most Americans, I now know I don't want to be like most people. We as a husband and wife had a lot of lesson's to learn. We are still learning to this day. I feel like I am rambling on here, but this has been heavy on my mind this week, and it's only Tuesday! Any how, I know we just have to trust that God's plan for us is bigger than we can imagine. Learning to sit and listen, educating ourselves, prayer, and the big one, putting our faith in the big guy upstairs, knowing he already has our plan all layed out. I have heard that we aren't suppose to pray for patience, but man it is so hard to be patient, I just have to say that. I'm not really sure where it says that in the Bible. If God has a 20 step program planned out and he knows already that we have been through 10,,,,,can't we just go on and jump to 20!!!





Patient-adj-1: bearing pain or trials without complaint-----(maybe I'm complaining, I'm trying not to!) 2: showing self-control:CALM (I'm trying,,,geesh) 3: STEADFAST, Persevering----patient-ly adv ( sometime I get tired, but I try to get back up).


Okay so no more complaining, get up, and know God is with you!

So, for Tuesday.......Look up and know he is here. Let the Holy Spirit do the job she or he needs to do,,,,,know he is here.







Back to the drawing board,

okay okay okay.............

SO, what about it? Okay, so here we go again. What's new right? I haven't talked about the weight issue for sometime now. Where do I stand? Well, I started back to Weight Watcher's in July, 25th to be exact. I started at 205.6. Remember, my long term goal was to get back to 173. I guess I should say my short term goal. My long term goal is to get to maybe 140, would really like 135, but I handle that later. For now, I want to get back to 173. So, I am going on Thursday's to my way back old meeting night and the same leader. YAY! Melanie is awesome and it is great to be back with her. So, last night's weigh in put me to 202.2. Yes, that's all but I really have been so out of it especially after finishing Real Estate classes and testing then there was the on going training in the office, which has now come to an end,,,,YIPPEE!



Now that all of that is finished I want to get back to the working out, walking, some me time, planning meals for the home, and enjoying the fall weather that I love. I love to organize and plan so I am going to start adding this back into my day's, especially trying to concentrate on fitness.



I am calling the trainer who is training the team from church for the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon for next September and touch base with her. See where they are and what I need to do to get going. This week I want to concentrate on tracking (journaling) my foods using the point system and getting in the 8 healthy guidelines.



Today is Friday,,,that is great. I have my craft cell group meeting tonight. I have a Mammogram this morning and a run to the grocery store and bank.



New Blog idea.....Weight Loss topic will be posted on Friday's. I think the rest of the week will be daily life ramblings.



Mighty is our Lord, mighty is our king, ruler of everything!



Peace and love,
