What a glorious day! He has RISEN! We had a delightful day talking about Jesus and how He gives us new life. We dyed more Easter eggs; made and decorated cookies; visited a sweet friend and premie in the hospital and enjoyed Easter dinner with our family. The Veggie Tales "Easter Carol" DVD is excellent and explains the Easter message so beautifully.
Regarding the weight loss quest, I would say SABOTAGE was the word of the day. Today marked the end of my Lent fast. I've been fasting from desserts for the past 40 days. I started the day counting my points and allowing myself some sweets but by the end of the night, I was stuffing my face with goodies...hiding in the kitchen after dinner eating sweets. This is the first time in 67 days that I've reverted back to my old habits, habits that are NOT part of my goals toward FREEDOM. I confess this to you and ask for prayer as I start a new day tomorrow. I WILL get back on my WW plan tomorrow.
Praying for strength....

Quotes
"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.
