Good morning - as this is a real blog with the real me and the real you - I gotta be real.  :)  I am up two pounds since the conference and have been after this for the last couple of days.  While 2 pounds isn't a lot - it will soon become 10 and so on if I am not PURPOSEFUL in my intentions.  YES?

I have not cheated at all, but very hit and miss with the water and my eating - been too busy and gotten off schedule and you know what that lack of routine does for me.   ALSO.....for the past three days, I have been under A LOT of stress.  It's amazing what just those few things do to our bodies.   Why am I saying all this?  Because some of you have been, or are, frustrated too.  I was after that last 10 pounds and now it's 12.  But, I am declaring a better day today.  I choose to breathe deeply and smile often regardless of the issues surrounding me.   (and these are mostly technology issues - but huge irritation!)  

After the conference, the main speakers were attacked badly and I have been attacked as well.  I guess we should have had more prayer afterwards.  :)   But anyway - gonna keep doing what's right and allow my body to quit hoarding.  :)   I am doing my part - it MUST do it's part.   So, if you are fluctuating too - some times it's really not you - but your body.  You keep making the correct choices (maybe pull back a little on the meat) and let your body heal itself.   I could take some prayer today, as others can I am certain.  My computer and phone are still not working correctly and I am heading back into a day of negotiations and don't want the tears today.  Three days of confusion and issues is enough.  I need to be touching these women who have been SO touched by the Holy Spirit, but instead I am spending HOURS, literally, on the phone solving technology issues.   This is a major distraction of the evil one.

Jennie Vaughn, our little chef, has had her gall bladder die (they feel - she is having an ultrasound this morning) and they want to remove it next week.  I would love for us to believe that LIFE will come to that organ and this morning the ultrasound will not confirm but astound the technician.   She is in a lot of pain, and I know God wants her to be whole.

Much love to you all - thanks for praying today.  

Choose life and eat to live - PK

PS - I would like to hear from you - how is your weight holding or doing?   Haven't heard from some of you in awhile.  I do want to remind all of us - we are always going to have to deal with our flesh.  The moment we quit bringing our flesh (food portions, food allowances, food preps) under God's truth and plan for us, we start down a dangerous plan.  Please keep weighing daily, stay away from the drive thru, don't sneak and eat that sugar, cook ahead so you don't fall for just anything.   We are fighting to stay out of jail - warriors sleep with ONE EYE OPEN!   Just sayin.
