As we sing and dance 

This tune of life

I find an amateur I am

I diligently seek perfection

Only to see I have failed 

But it is in my failure

Where I learn to nurture 

I grow

In this life

That I share with thee

As I sing and dance 

A new tune each day

With diligent effort

In this dance of life

An amateur I will not be

As I share this dance of life with thee

As I nurture you each day

Till one day 

You must sing and dance

This life 

On your own

With those 

Who have come to 

Sing and dance with you

Amateur no longer

In this song and dance of life

The baton has been passed

~Beth~

Accountability ~ With Gym and Workouts

Today I had not planned on going to the gym. But Whoa! I did! And glad I went. Last evening I was speaking with a girlfriend of mine and realized we belonged to the same gym. What a wonderful gift I thought. Yea! Someone to work out with besides hubby. That made me so happy. I had planned on working this morning so going wasn't going to actually happen. Well.....when plans changed I gave her a shout and we meet at the gym. I did a wonderful work out. Two hours worth. I did an hour on the bicycle and an hour on the Nu step. I was getting tried but I was encouraged and felt like I wasn't just getting fit physical; but as well just being able to vent as a  girl vents girl stuff. I felt so much better after wards. I look forward to going again tomorrow. That I would even say that amazes me. I as well felt so validated in my work out and who I am. I felt this was very good and very important. I hoping to make it tomorrow Thursday and possible on Sunday. Those are the planned days anyways. God willing nothing gets tossed into the works to mix a different plan then I have. Sometimes God comes in and changes things up  That's okay! But I felt so good today after the gym. Then this afternoon came the flood of tears. Not sure what all that is about. But..... Praying that this gym is helping me release stress among some other things that are going on that I feel that are making me feel unhealthy. That new body is what I'm stretching for. With good health and eating habits. I'm sure it will come. Just not soon enough for me!

Do you have a friend you work out with?

Lent Season ~ Thankful List/Verse With Prayer: Day 28

Well.... they say the best laid plans of mice and men. I should remember this; I might plan but ultimately God has the finally say. As I had my day planned and it was changed around. It usually does get changed a bit. But... today a lot. I went to the gym this morning with a friend. So validating. Thank you Rikki! Then home. Piddled about didn't get much done. Went to a friends house. He is in need of so many prayers. If you all could please pray for him. God knows the need. They are many. So extremely pressing. Making it very hard for him. One is to be able to keep his home along with his unemployment as well as finding a job. There are many other things he needs prayers for as well; but I cannot disclose them. So if you could just pray for L. God knows who this is and knows every detail and things that are needed in his life. Thank  you ever so much. My heart breaks for him. I hate to see friends hurt and all I know to do is pray. Though I would like to be the fixer. Not a good thing only God can do that! Thank you once again.

Lent Season ~ Thankful List/Verse With Prayer: Day 27

Monday, Monday! Rainy days and Monday! Yes!I bet you guessed right it was a gloomy start to my work week. It is raining. Actually it was snowing when I had to leave the house to take our CK girl to the vets today. It is her appointment time once again. What a trooper this old gal is. She was excited to go bye-bye with her mom. She has put on a few more pounds. Nothing to worry about with the old gal though. When we got home the poor things fall on all fours and couldn't get back up. It broke my heart. I had to help her get her footing. So in we went to the warmth of our home. I then promptly had to leave for work. Which was a quick little job for the morning. Then headed on over to store to pick up CK some dog food. Well.... they had whole fryers on sale so had to pick up a few of those. So I made homemade chicken vegetable rice soup for dinner this evening. Turned out really good too. Then spent a bit of time on the phone with my daughters this afternoon. I so love them so very much. I am a blessed mom that is for sure. Thank you Lord for my beautiful daughters!

Thankful List Of Five

1. Healthy bill of health over all for our CK girl

When I don't know what to do, Father, help me wait for my instructions.

The weekends rushing in but never stay or last quite long enough. I never seem to get everything done that I would like in the weekend. so much to accomplish and get done in a short period of time.

Though I do need to find away not to stress eat. I did that today and made me sick. UGH! Please pray for me in this area. Thank you so very much.
