Praise God for another day! I am so blessed to be alive and in my right mind! THANK YOU JESUS!!! This morning the kids, hubby and I piled into the van and took hubby to work, then I took the kids to school. While driving we each took turns praying out loud (as we routinely do) and the power of God met us in the midst of our prayers. The kids are sooooo funny in that they now use there prayer time to lash out at each other in a round about way. They say "Lord, please help Joshua to stop being mean. Make him stop touching me, laughing at me, picking on me and licking his tongue!" Josh will then pray and say "Lord make Joi stop lying on me! Help her to brush her teeth longer because her breath stinks!" LOL!!!!!!!!! So funny! We'll have to put an end to that soon before prayer time turns into discipline time :).
Well, hubby leaves for the Netherlands this weekend. The kids are taking it "ok". This time he'll be away for a shorter amount of time so hopefully it won't be as bad. We have parent teacher conferences this week and the kids have early dismissals for the next 2 days. Joi is celebrating her 7th birthday this weekend and we're currently finalizing plans for her party. She'll have up to 15 kids in attendance and they will have a host of activities, pizza and cake to enjoy. Immediately after the party Pat will catch his flight out :(.
A quick update on the church happenings~~~ Bishop Murphy celebrated his 8th Pastoral Anniversary last Sunday. Bishop Gary Oliver was our morning speaker and Bishop Eddie Long was our evening speaker. The power of God moved mightily as Bishop Murphy released several things over our lives. Some of those releases were: prosperity, peace, a millionaire ethic/mindset/mentality, wealth, health, signs/miracles/wonders, a stronger relationship with God, strengthened marriages, understanding of the apostolic order, the identifying of our spiritual gifts and the ability to use them for the kingdom... this list goes on and on. Now it is up to us to develop a prayerful life so that we can walk in the newness of Christ and begin to see those releases manifest! That is definitely my prayer! I want everything God has for me. I want to be blessed so that I can be a continual blessing to someone(s) else. I praise God for who he is in my life and for where he has me at this time in my life. He is just so awesome!
As I prepare to end this post for today I am mentally & physically preparing myself for my next workout today. I am starting week 3 of my Couch 2 5k workout today! YAY ME!!!!!!!!! I had some knee pain as I ended week 2 but God pulled me through. I made some changes but I still managed to get one of my best workouts yet! Praise God for that! I am soooo proud of myself and the motivation, endurance and perseverance that God has given me thus far. I'm getting stronger each day and the muscle tone in my legs have started to show a bit more :). My eating habits have changed a bit as well. I will post more about what I'm currently eating on my cooking page. Well, until next time.... be blessed!
