| GOOOOOD MORNING }1{
Well your prayers are already being felt... When I went to pick up my hubby last night most of the resentment was already gone. Today he was so wonderful, he has wanted to comfort me and hold me (kinda annoying) and help me get my storage stuff put away and now wants to take me out to eat. Fish... so instead of saying I can't eat that I will go and eat and have fun and then begin again tomorrow. A fresh start. I will try to get organized or whatever that means. I have to come up with a menu to follow or I can't do it. I need to find a good calorie range for me... CCC suggested 1950 in July my doc suggested 1500-1700 but I am starting to think since I can't seem to get very active, because of being so tired after running after my 6 one year olds all day at work... maybe I shoul go lower but I am told not to go lower than 1200 does this sound right to yall so maybe I should aim for 1200-1500. So what do you think? |

| Ok this is probally a good time to insert my testimony... I don't mean to complain and totally recognize God has blessed me far beyond what I deserve... this could be long, so I am sorry in advance...
Ok I usually start this with where my dad leaves my mom, I am in 7th grade and daddies girl... he leaves one weekend without a word to me. My mom and him were never compatable and God and satan can not live in the same house. My mom took it as she could and I guess he did too. I over heard them one night arguing like usual but this was christmas night and he said why should I stay and mom said for Holly and he said your family is across the street and they mean more to her than I do and well I never wanted kids... the next weekend he was gone. He came to visit a few times but they would argue and eventually he stopped coming. Mom said she would not get a divorce because it wasn't good in the eyes of God even though he was living with another woman and her three kids. We attended a methodist church at that time and we got our first female pastor it didn't go over well but I have to say she was sent by God... her husband had left her and her daughter and she was able to relate to my mom and they needed each other and her daughter and I became sisters too. Well Rev. Caren became my other mother too... Caren sent my mom to Emmaus which is christian retreat well it is more than just a retreat but more like a renewal and she came back with out tears.. so they sent me to Chrysalis (butterfly) the teenage version. A seed was planted in me and God used Chrysalis to rise up my soul... It wasn't just a sunday thing anymore... after clown communion the resurection is never the same it is REAL. We soon realized that our church was not willing to grow and so we left our back wood sit down shut up church and starting looking for the spirit food and found Covenant Bible Church which we would visit and eventually join. I didn't see or hear from my dad until four years later... when his sister came and got me talking my mom into it and this begins the prodigal living for me... you see with mom it was God centered with dad it was me centered and he used me when he needed me by getting me to sit on his side of the court room and say I want to spend time with my dad as my mother sobbed mornfully... this way he didn't have to pay my mom support, but hey I had the best of both worlds when I got tired of one I went to the other... until dad convinced me to get out and party... why was I hanging out with him so I did and meet Charlie Mathis whom I moved in with and then found out what the word physical abuse meant but married him anyway all in a years time I was 18 I had just graduated and wouldn't leave because I didn't want to leave my stuff. LOL that is a teenager for you huh? no matter how scared I was I wouldn't leave. He pulled a gun on me, bit me and pushed me around only hit me straight forward once or twice. All the time my spirit seed was still growing and I began to lone for home and lone for God by the way Charlie and I attended his church every sunday he was a "christian" to him and everyone else. I finally developed a plan I would get him back to my moms or dads and then leave him some way some how and eventually I did... I left him at a walmart and he threathened to kill me and my whole family he did very little time but I haven't seen him since I have heard he married again and did the same again and ended up back in jail... When I left him I went to work at a local bilo and started bleeding one day ( to my knees) I was having a miscarriage... I hadn't even noticed my period was gone. After life settled back down I went to work for a local walmart and did great for two years I stayed on the path with God and life was ok again I had my JOY.. then one day I noticed Dougie he was fun and out going I had started hanging out with some of the girls whom I shouldn't have been hanging out with and had started to stray and all of sudden here came the feelings of lust again and so Doug and I went out because I didn't want to hurt his feelings and tell him no because you see he was legally blind well we slept together that very first night and three months later I was pg and he was like well what are ya gonna do... well duh have a baby and he was like oh I told mom when I was three months and she didn't talk to me for a week she was so dissappointed and so was I ... and ashamed. It is hard to walk into church and say your a christian when it is painfully obvious that you have sinned big time like a scarlet letter. I refused to talk to Doug and pushed him out until Rj was almost two. I had taken all his parental rights but he was persistant and it made me feel guilty not to give him the chance to make ammends I mean he had been trying to make up since the day I walked away... and I was afraid someday Rj would want to know his dad and do me the way I did my mom. I can't bare what I did to her let alone have it did to me. I admire my mom may I add... she is one of the most faithful and strongest women I know... we drive each other crazy and can't live under the same roof with out arguing but she is my best friend. So I married Doug I felt like he had changed enough and who cared if we were completly equally yoked it wouldn't make that much of a difference.... right?? well here it is five years later.. Rj is seven and I am miserable I hate being married but God has healed so much and made such a blessing out of such a fall how could I turn my back on the marriage or him... God has filled every gap even the small ones all the time I rise up and then ride the fence rise up and then ride the fence... but each time he calls me up and I rise and he forgives me and says hey guess what you will make it. Every day I hunger for him a little more and yea I am still a mess but I am alive I have a wonderful son and a ok hubby and a roof over my head and a job I love and so many oppurtunities I can't list them all.GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!! God will mend it all in his time and I will not let satan rob me of that blessing which is gonna be bigger than I ever imagined. By the way the butterfly for me and my mom means God's Promises... one day mom was coming out of work and she was crying she had been thinking about me and worrying (its in the veins) and a butterfly was perched on her car a big yellow one... he flew up and hit her smack dab in the forehead and she said she could hear God just as if he was me and you say Remember my promises for Your Life and Hollys and Claim them... I will take care of her she is my child. So yea the butterfly seems to show up when I am unsure and when I need to know I am in the right place or doing the right thing... so Kim you were a messenger straight to me from God today..... AWESOME HUH? |

| Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp---but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; -Nathaniel Hawthorne- Kim you are defy a God send... tonight I was at my lowest of this week... not sure how much lower a worm is and then I got your butterfly and then the above quote and then all the other emails from you gals and the joy and encouragement was almost more than I could handle... yes pcos does make me more emotional than most but I have to say it was all spirit as I choked back the tears... I have tears of discontent and worry... I have tears of being humbled and tears of knowing I am forgave and tears of knowing the road isn't over and may get a little more bumpy.... I know what I have to do and will do it but it is going to be a long process... I will not give up on myself my son or even my hubby I will not let satan win any of them and starting tomorrow I will try to get more organized and stop complaining and worrying soooo much... LOL so thank you all xoxoxoxoxoxo and blessings to you all my myspace has my theme song right now which was given to me by God himself LOL please listen to it the link is in my profile... ok advice needed... all stupid emotions and worries aside... I don't buy my own groceries... are you laughing? stop I am serious... like I have said before we live across the street from my gandparents and mother and uncle on a farm and my grandmother is offended if we don't come you know the are you mad at me... so all my meals come from there... mom tries to buy things for me but mamaw makes appledumplins and pumpkin pies and potatos and has chips and cookies all my enemies... I am tired of salad if I eat one more I will puke... so I have switched to watermelon... I have to plan or I don't loose and anyway... buying my own groceries is money wise out of the question right now but hopefully will be more likely next month which would help mine and my hubbies relationship too.. ok I am one of those ppl tell me what to eat and I will ...... uGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

| We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
I am hanging on but by a thread thanks for the emails of hope and encouragement I really needed them... I am down and when I am down I am really down and hungry ughhhhh but satan will not win but it will take the power of my God to pick me turn me around like that new song ohhhh who sings it UNDO by rush of fools |

I have gained two pds back and I am at a place right now where I know better and don't want to saying all that after eating 6 apple dumplings...ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh anyway I am so sorry and hope to rejoin u guys soon :( | |||

Praise God PAM for his changing of your direction Ok I read the spoon theroy and it made me kinda sad but wow what a way to tell a story to make it stick. Oh Guys I needed yall today... I was at my mother in laws helping her pack and was asked to go get the whole crowd breakfast at bojangles (my most fav fast food resturant but oh the cals) So I took down everyones wants and left then I sat in the line for the drive thru debating with myself should I or shouldn't I ..... I did good I got a sm individiual seasoned fry 345cals. Still alot of cals but I use to eat the picnic serving of fries and a cajan filet biscuit like about 1000cals for one meal... Then her soon to be ex husband brought in 3 huge pizzas and I resisted up to the last min we were there and had one slice.... So I will be sorta good for supper and still come out to around 1600 cals but I am ok with it I was panicing but it is ok....... |

| Hi!!! Good afternoon everyone!
Hello to all the new comers!! Boy what a day what a day.... I have to make it quick but wanted to share. Yesturday I read 2sam 22 David's Song of Praise and I got that he will rescue me from all evil no matter what, He is a great God. Today I read Psalm 101 David's Psalm (by the way I just open the bible and find the first chapter heading and read) I am starting to see a connection LOL is God great.. well anyway I got I should praise God for his love and justice and I should have nothing to do with evil, evil ways, evil doers. and that the blameless (some of you guys here) will minister to me.... I had to leave my toddlers today for half a day and work with the babies I am sure now that I belong with my toddlers... LOL I got home to weigh, because today is my weigh day, and I didn't think I had lost anything but I lost 1pd. I am a little dissappointed. I have been really good. But my mind keeps saying hold on next week will be better but my tummy says just eat the cookie dough. LOL Love you guys talk to ya later |
