11th Anniversary of 9/11/2001
And we’ve still
got troops over there fighting today. The resolve and the hope of the American
troops is inspiring.
They have been
over there for 11 years now, fighting day after day, to give us freedom. They
have been fighting for our brothers and sisters of America, who lost their
lives in this awful terrorist attack, though nothing can bring them back. They
fight to ensure that democracy stands forever in America, and that we in
America will prevail over every other force, known or unknown, and just keep on
fighting, hoping that one day this world will be free.
Others have
signed on, and have joined this cause. I pray for our troops, I pray for their
faith in the Lord, I pray that they find all those unknown assailants. I pray
this war will end, with America the victor. I pray that Jesus claim the Victory
in this war, that it may end, and we can all come home, and live to fight
another day. To God be the Glory forever and ever, for all eternity! Amen.
8:55am
Brian and I woke
up at 7:30 again this morning. We’ve been sleeping a little late here the past
2 mornings, must be cause we stay up a little bit later watching football.
Mr. Charles and
Mr. Sonny arrived about 10 minutes later, and began on my pump outside. The
skeeters are bad, so I said a prayer for them, hoping the skeets would go away,
and that they would have an easy time installing that pump. They aren’t outside
now, that I know of, I think they ran to get something, but they’ll be back
before too long, and I’ll have water pressure before the day is out.
I’m stuck at
home today, for a while anyway, cause Brian took the car to work this morning.
We really need a second vehicle, badly.
I’m hoping I can get Brian a truck for Christmas.
I called Kohl’s
this morning, hoping to return my jewelry before it got shipped. No such luck,
I’m going to have to send it back when I get it.
I’m sending it
back because I felt that the Lord was mad at me for ordering it. It was
selfish, I know. I began to see that fine jewelry should be a gift from my
husband, and he should pick it out, over the years. I just got so excited for
Christmas, and didn’t realize it, that I ordered all those jewels for myself,
without even thinking that Brian may want to buy me some jewels for Christmas.
Or maybe I did, and didn’t realize it, and thought I’d go ahead and order them
for myself. Either way, I’m returning them, although I really really want all
of them, but I’d rather return them than have the Lord mad at me for anything.
It’s just not worth it to me. So I will be obedient, though I do not understand
completely.
And, I
apologized to Brian. From now on, I’m not buying any jewelry, and will only
wear what he buys me, and will take better care of the things that he buys me.
I am just so
excited for Christmas I can hardly stand it! I’m ready to go shopping for
presents, and put up our tree, decorate our home, put on a tablecloth, plan the
food for our Christmas party with Brian, Mom, Dad, & Granny!!! The Spirit of
Christmas is upon me!!! Praise GOD for letting Jesus be born unto this earth
and for letting us KNOW HIM!!!
I think I am
going to wait and give Mama & Brian their quilts for Christmas. I think
they will make a nice Christmas present! J
Oh, I have the house
all to myself today!!! It’s so quiet in here, I am LOVING it! I better love it
now, cause when we have children, there will be no peace, except on Mother’s
Day.
I think I’m
about to sew, and Mr. Charles and Mr. Sonny are back now. So they’ll be working
on the water pump. When they get done, I’ve got to wash the dishes, but it’s no
rush, I want them to have an easy time with it.
8:07pm
Brian is up
feeding Sambo and making me some coffee, since I’ve already made 3 pots today,
and would like someone to make me a pot.
We’re watching
Rizzoli & Isles, like we do most every day. I think it’s a good show, the
people on here seem like good people, and I like the way they get along with
each other. It’s just got good writing.
I’m done eating
for the day. I had: Honey bunches of Oats with Almonds for breakfast (350),
coffee (200), skinny cow ice cream sandwich (150), ½ fajita w/ cheese (200),
and popcorn (210) = 1110 for the day.
I can’t believe
that’s all I’ve had to eat for the day! I would have thought more for sure! I
feel full, really full, but I know I didn’t eat anything else. It’s a good day,
yes, it is.
I walked too,
for 18 minutes, burned 110 calories, so that’s 1000 for the day.
I’ve heard of
what I’m doing, this calorie cycling thing. Having more calories one day, and
then cycling down to less, and then back up and then back down. I am not
meaning to do it, I’m just doing it, and it’s working.
I’m just
counting my calories, eating when I’m hungry, and saying no, I’ll just wait to
have that tomorrow, when I need to.
I am upset about
having to return my jewelry, but I’m just being obedient. I asked God why? He
told me because Brian is probably planning to get me something nice for
Christmas. I gathered also that I would be ruining Christmas. That’s how much
God thinks of Brian….alot….so much that He wants me to return my jewelry.
I told Brian he
had better get me something AMAZING for Christmas! The pressure is on J
Daddy came by
today, to check on the water pump’s pressure, and had coffee with me, while I
sewed. I haven’t really had much to say today, so we just sat here and watched
TV for a while.
8:41pm
I just got out
of the shower, and Brian is still watching Rizzoli & Isles. I’m enjoying my
little 2do app on my tablet, although I haven’t checked on it since this
morning, and probably need to check some things off the list.
I needed to
check all but 2 things off the list! I knew it was a good day!
