The past week has caused me check my way of thinking about food and fitness. Hello ladies, I'm taking a little break from working on the next issue of CHAIM, to let you know how my new fitness routine is going. I am what is considered by the industry a 'less to loose' type. My goal is just to stay fit and to loose about 10lbs. Whether you have none to loose, or more to loose, I write just

Today, I was able to start on new eating plan. After keeping my mini journal for those 3 days, I realized that I don't eat very much. What do you eat for your meals? Breakfast for me has been easy to eat correctly. When I was in my childbearing years, my midwife taught me about eating right, and I really only stuck to it for breakfast. I found that I function much better when eat well. So,

As summer is in full bloom, I have been enjoying spending time with friends and family - outside. I really like to be outside. The midwest is melting but here in my neck of the woods, mornings and evenings are very pleasant:) Well, my blog entries have been rather sporadic. I am in the process of a major schedule remodel.

You have the choice to be aware of what is going on inside your head or not. What are you going to choose? DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20It is our choice, sometimes we become complacent about it and think that thoughts maybe don't really matter. *What you think molds what you believe*What you believe governs your actions/decisionswhat do you think?

Hello Friends,We had an awesome time this week at WordShop! We got together and learned about JESUS! As simple and basic as that may sound, that is OKAY. God is easy to understand and He always starts at the beginning :) Let me share with you what happened -- I am still shaking my head as I write --I opened the recording program on my laptop, plugged in the mic, and pushed the RECORD button

It was said of Abraham that he was a friend of God. How did he get that title/honour? One very simple thing set Abraham apart from all others -- Abraham BELIEVED God. Not only IN God, but also and far more valuable -- He BELIEVED God....Abraham made the choice to not consider what he knew or understood or saw but the choice to be fully persuaded that God is a REWARDER of them that diligently

What Do we believe? We all believe something. Let's examine our own hearts and ask if we believe more specifically than, "I believe IN God." Do we believe WHAT GOD SAID?From the beginning, God has desired that we, humans, would simply believe HIM. In Genesis, we read that the serpent set out to put doubt in the heart of man...Adam and Eve. Both acted on that doubt..Did God mislead us? Are we

When our oldest child was about 1-1/12 years old, we were out one evening driving somewhere.  It must have been late because the moon was high in the sky, full and bright.  My husband and I were pointing out the beauty of the moon to which our daughter asked, "Hold it?"  Ahhhh...how cute.  We relish that moment, that memory...the simplicity...the innocence; she didn't know that she couldn't

"Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness." Psalm 143:10On this journey with the LORD, many of us say that we want God to teach us to be more like him, to be more gentle, quiet, obedient, etc. Is this true for your life? Something that continually amazes me - is that God Almighty, the Living God, really does want to teach us, he

Did you know that you have been invited by the Lord Jesus Christ, himself?Invited to what?, you may ask. Well, if you have your Bible handy, look up Matthew 11:28-30."Come unto me, all ye, that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in hear: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is

January 1 marks the time to switch the chores around. As I sat thinking who should get what chores, I laughed within myself at the thought: "Changing of the Guard". It was a nice thought for me, not a mean and demanding mama; but rather a mama who trains and manages the home. Teaching the children that we all live together and need to help one another. To keep order in one's home, it is a good

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. DELIGHT thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give the the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth

What a long list of groceries! As we prepare for this coming week, I am writing my grocery list. With lots of family coming ...there is a lot of cooking coming up. I am looking forward to the time of fellowship and at the same time, realizing how much I have yet to do. Mainly...COOK! Here's a sample of whats on the menu...Roast con tuco and stuffed shells, artichoke dip, apple cider, berry

I have a couple of minutes to muse about the day. Simmering on the stove top is a wonderful lentil stew that D4 has helped me prepare. Outside the boys are riding around the culdesac on their motorcycle and the older girls are getting ready to go to their bible study group. I am going to the ladies bible study tonight. We are studying the book of James. I really love to study the Word of God

Indeed, why do we wait until the new year to start making new habits...hopefully, better ones? I am guilty of this idea as well. So, my conclusion is to get started now. Have you read about King Hezekiah in II Chronicles 29-31? Well, he made a resolution...the decision to start righteousness RIGHT AWAY...immediate obedience.Soooooo, today, I am fine-tuning my schedule. As is the case with

Isaiah 55:6“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”____________________________________________________________________________ Before we begin today’s lesson, I challenge you ASK THE LORD TO: 1.

Thanksgiving, oh how well we know all that brings to our home. Thanksgiving to some may be: turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, family, friends--board games & football, and yes--hot apple cider or hot cocoa. Whereas to some, Thanksgiving may be different--to some degree. They have the same types of food, the autumn centerpiece on the table in the formal dining room with the lovely china and

I heard this song a couple of years ago and the words caused me to think. To think about my own opinion of how I live my life. Here is part of the lyrics: Brave by Nichole NordemanThe gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation.The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in. Welcome to the middle ground.You're safe and sound and ...until now, it's where I've been.'Cause it's been fear that ties
