Day 7 (a.m.)

So my routine is a little rushed this morning. I'm leaving to go to a women's conference/retreat this weekend. My sis-in-law (Scott's sister) has been wanting me to go and finally this year I'm able to go. I'm excited to see what God will teach me this weekend. I've had some good life changes in the past week and a half. I have been a very angry, bitter person (hidden on the inside) and as of about a week ago, I let that all go. And since then I've been so much more free, I don't get angry when I see a pregnant woman and I'm able to smile and enjoy life.

I've also asked God to give me an opportunity to minister this weekend and to clearly show it to me. He and I had this discussion while I was on the mower this week. We had some really good talks while I was mowing. He's so good to me. So when I come back, I will be excited to share how God was able to use me.

(change of subject...lol)
Tomorrow I start with the fiber drink again. I'm kind of nervous that I start it while away from home with a bunch of ladies I hardly know. Except for my sister-in-law, I know her pretty well. They will wonder why I'm coughing and gagging on my drink...and then they'll see that I'm not drinking anything normal...I'm drinking sawdust...lol. Ok, I know I call it sawdust, but it's one of those names given lovingly...right?

So I didn't weigh in today, I will do that Monday. Which is my last day of the cleanse. So then I get to log how much I was able to lose during the first phase. If I get into the 150's I will just have to scream. Cause that means that I am so close to my goal weight that it's not funny.

I better go now. I'm in my jammies, getting ready to eat my breakfast (chocolate this morning) and I have to go get cash and fill up our pick-up with gas. And I would like to leave Healy by 8:00 or 8:30. Can it be done? Oh, I believe so.

Have a great weekend and I do have one quick prayer request. My other sister-in-law (who is having a baby in October) is having a little trouble here in the past two days. She has been having some contractions and starting some pre-term labor. 1.)I don't want her to have the baby while I'm gone (cause I want to be her for it), 2.)The dr's want her to wait at least 2 weeks just to be on the safe side, and 3.)I just don't want her first baby to be a bad experience. It needs to be a happy joyful time. So just pray that things go well, that they are able to wait at least the two weeks, and that I can be here. (see I told you I let go of the bitterness and anger). So God bless.
