laughter is the best medicine

I'm sickly again, sore throat and coughing away. Went to target for some meds and of course ended up buying more than I went for. My hubby insisted I accompany him to play practice for the big Easter play. This is the first year of him actually being in it. Hubby is a star! Everyone here is making each other laugh throughout saying their lines, which in turn is making me laugh. I wanted to share the new sunburst I picked up from target before I go :)

Lazy weekend

How was your weekend??? Mine was rather relaxing, maybe not the type of relaxing I had originally planned, but not doing anything but laying around helped me get some needed rest.  My hubby had me quite scared... he never complains ever, his head was hurting so intensely that he could barely move, this lasted all week...not knowing what the cause was, I was a nervous wreck! Of course I think of the worst possible causes. Sunday night came and he was feeling better, he started to joke and came around to being himself again. I was so happy and relieved. Praise God for answered prayers. All in all God is good and my hubby is better so it is going to be a great week ahead! Something as simple, well I wouldn't classify an answered prayer as simple at all actually, but in this world it may seem simplistic. Anyways an answered prayer is putting me on an ultimate high for the week! Thank you Jesus! You are amazing!!!!! What is your fuel for this week of January?

I'll be heading downstairs soon to get my work out on!!!!

Psalms 23:2

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. Sometimes in life we go, go, go and never find time for rest. A rest that God wants us to experience. This was my devotion verse for yesterday, but today is my day of rest and I am really focusing on what God wants me to get from today. My hubby has been feeling ill all week, running a temp and unfortunately we are insurance-less at the moment, because I just switched back to working at the hospital and it doesnt kick in until February. I am worried about him, due to the fact that he never rests himself even when he doesn't feel good. I hope he feels better soon and I am sure going to pass this verse along to him. Truth: I feel that a lot of us don't rest and lie down in green pastures often enough. We don't allow ourselves to rest, the kind of rest God wants us to have in our world, maybe because we feel that in the world we live in, it is unacceptable to do so. Well, heres to hoping everyone can stop this weekend and rest, Gods rest and just focus on him.

Choose to be happy

I have goals for 2013, just a few to kick start the year off on the right track. I for the past 5-6 years have made it a part of my life to work out and attempt to be healthy. Some years I did better than others, some years my will power dominated, others it disappeared on me. In 2013, I am going to push my will power to be in control over me. What does this mean for me? Well, no more addictions to sweet stuff, no cookies, cakes, pies, etc. Now as anyone who knows me, knows I L-O-V-E ice-cream, love it! That means that I won't deprive myself of eating ice-cream, but I am going to have control over it and not let it control me. Eating a little here and there will do just fine. I want to be healthy overall so that also means in addition to working out, eating clean and choosing foods that are good for my body and brain.  Choosing to be happy is something I will tell myself each day. I am a woman of many moods, meaning that I can be happy and cranky all within the same hour of a day. I am going to attempt to not be so stressed over the small stuff and focus on how God has blessed me with many many people, and things in my life. I want to become the woman that reflects him in this world we live in.  I hope to make a difference to those around me. My goals are to work out, to eat clean, to make others smile and myself smile more, to love my husband unconditionally, and to grow closer to God everyday.
