Day 14-Weight-Hello all!!! I have not been really staying structured as I am supposed to regarding my weight. I am not discouraged but I am not giving it my all. Lately, I have not been getting a lot of sleep and I am working a lot so I believe I may be getting burned out. Once I slow down I believe I will be able to rest my mind and focus on really doing the right thing! Also, who am I kidding it is the holiday. I want to eat!!! No worries, I am not going to lose focus on what I really need to accomplish in this area and telling you all my business helps me a lot. 

Day 14-Walk- I said my morning prayer and I studied 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and it says, "¹⁶ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ¹⁸ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." This took real meaning for me today. I got some disappointing news today and of course was hurt by it. But reading this scripture really put things in perspective for me. We are not to lose heart. So just because today was disappointing does not mean my whole life is. We may be wasting away on the outside but inwardly we are being developed. I am able to learn to trust and depend on God for all things in life. Each day I am getting stronger and stronger spiritually. For the troubles we are experiencing are short. They are not going to last that long. And I am learning that everything that looks bad does not always mean bad. So it is important that I continue to fix my eyes on the eternal things I don't see and not on the temporal things I do see. So for me I have to change my thoughts not to focus on this world but on what God is doing in my life. 

Day 14- Wins-Today I thought positive although my emotions were hurting. My husband and I followed through on something together. I remained a peacemaker today. I listened to someone today that I have had issues with in the past. I got through a hard day! I cried out to God today. 

Trials and tribulations are inevitable. Trusting in God will always allow you to be strengthened and know that this too shall pass. Don't ever lose sight of what God has for you. Nothing in life is failure. Everything is by God's design. Embrace it. Believe it. Live it. Let God lead the way and remember the 3 w's are worth working for. Have a great evening.

Day 13-Weight-You know I have said it once and I am going to say it again. Do not skip breakfast!!! There was no real reason why I should have even missed breakfast because I had it all packed up, but when I got to work instead of eating I began working. And just plain forgot. But I was hungry the entire day and ate more than I needed to. Shame on me!! So, back to the drawing board!

Day-13 Walk-There was many challenges today. I prayed this morning to God to set the atmosphere for me today. I felt the need to have His whole armor around me today. The Word was rich too. I read Romans 5:1-5 and it says, " ¹ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we^[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we^[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. ³ Not only so, but we^[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." This was so good! We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace. So many people long for this in their lives. No matter what, through Jesus, we have it!!! By faith we have gained access into this grace. We are so blessed!! Just by believing (faith), grace abounds with us. It will follow us and with the way things are going in this world, we need God's grace. We Glory in God and in sufferings! Sufferings! Really? We Glory in hard times and trials, when people hurt us and when things go wrong? Yes we do! Because we know that suffering produces perseverance. That means you will never stop trying to live right as it pleases God!! You will never stop believing. And because you will never stop believing your perseverance will produce character. You will learn to honor God. You will learn to forgive. You will learn to be meek. You will learn to be kind. You will learn to love unconditionally!! And this will produce faith! Because when you get through all of these things you will know that only God could have done it. So when you begin to feel stressed out! Remember, this scripture and how blessed we truly are. With that being said I had to use it today. I really believe there are some people that are planted in your life to help build your character. They will challenge you in ways you cannot imagine. You will be tested through and through, but eventually love will conquer all. Because love endures, but Satan does not. So he cannot outdo love!!! Love never fails!!! 

Day 13-Wins! Today I kept my cool even though I was angry! I prayed for a friend’s granddaughter. I witnessed today. I did not hold a grudge today. I decided to write my blog tonight even though I was so tired! I took up for my daughter today. I learned a valuable lesson from God today. I forgave today. I sowed a seed of forgiveness today. I swallowed my pride today. 

Even in challenging situations never give up!! God is developing who you are going to be. No matter what He is going to finish the work He started in you. And when you are ready to open your whole heart and mind to Him all things will be revealed to you. And when it is revealed you will know exactly how to handle it! Enjoy your evening and I look forward to our next encounter and remember the 3 w's are worth working for!!

Day 12-Weight-Hello all you "life-detectives"!!! Did you enjoy your weekend? I sure did. Guess what?!! I got off of my lazy tail and walked on Saturday. It was a 45 minute walk!! I was so excited. It felt good to get out there and accomplish this personal goal. My limbs were in a little pain, but I pressed on! For the remainder of the day I had energy and was enthusiastic.I was able to get through all of my tasks for the day!!
Day-12-Walk-Today I read James 1:2 which basically said to count it all joy when you are faced with many trials because you know the testing of your faith brings forth patience. Patience is so important with this walk. In order to use your faith you have to have patience, because faith is what you do not see. We have to patiently wait on God's time to work miracles in our life!
Day 12-Wins-Today I prayed this morning with my husband! I got through the day without falling asleep!
\Today was just a day of maintaining and not falling asleep because it was a busy weekend! Enjoy the rest of your day and remember, the 3w's are worth working for!

Day 9-Weight-Well, the worse thing you can do when trying to lose weight is to skip any meal!! This is a big NO NO! Not only because it slows your metabolism but it seems to make you hungrier later which makes you over eat. Now I did not over eat, but I did not eat the right things. Live and learn I always say!! 

Day 9-Walk-I was rushed this morning so I did not start my day with prayer as I should have. However, I do talk to God all day long so I never miss an opportunity to have a conversation with God. Today was a good day. I worked on projects at work using a new formula that I came up with for myself and it seemed to work. It is always great when something you create works out! I am taking the opportunity this weekend to catch up on cleaning and organizing and to come up with a work out plan for me to begin! It is truly time to go to the next level and I am ready!! 

Day 9-Wins! -Today I accomplished completing more work, I discussed the Lord with someone today, I have not given up, I have worked on a plan to get my daughter on track at school, I took my weave out today and attempted to do my own hair!!! LOL!!! Keep praying for me!!
