We have finally gotten settled down after the death of my nephew. It was a very sudden and unexpected passing- a real shock to us. We all had to back up and realize how we are not promised tomorrow. He was in a backslidden state when he died, but we have to comfort ourselves with the fact he is in the hands of a loving and just God. - Sorry did not mean to be so heavy-
I told yall a while back that we were in the process of purchasing a condo in Shreveport- I know it is not the vacation mecca of the US, but my husband likes to fish there! Well- the first deal we had fell through- We had kinda dropped the idea- The realtor called us out of the blue and offered us a much better deal on a bigger condo, so things our moving again. Pray that we stay in God's will on this one. We have prayed about it and want what is best for us.
I am working on finishing up the Christmas shopping- I am one of those people that like to check things off when they are finished with them! Every year my mother - who I shop for- will tell me at the last minute that she has a couple of more gifts to buy!!!!!!! Grrrr- Well I have tried to get her list from her early so we will see this year.
I am really trying to keep the holiday pounds from creeping on this year. I am walking just about every day and watching what I eat. I am also weighing every day so I can be aware if the pounds creep on. I hope I have not bored yall with my everyday praddle! I will check in you soon again.
