excercise

I had this ridiculous idea that I should exercise....

I have never lost my Maddie baby weight fully..... (it has been 2 /12 years...) 10 pounds....
 I guess when the guy in the hardware store called me chubby the other day that was all it took to push me to thinking I better get my rear in gear... put the pedal to the medal... nose to the ol' grindstone.... (you know the saying's)
So I grabbed the AB RIPPER X. dusted the 12 inches of dust off of it... Stared at it for a time... and got to work.

Well today I am crippled. Not even kidding I can barely walk. My husband is loving it. (he just loves to pick on my weakness)

Not sure how I will feel about 2 o'clock since that will be 24 hours since the tortuous event.
I think I'll ride my bike today. Yes a nice leisurely bike ride will do the mind, body and soul good... I think.

In other news, I am been crafting up a storm. Making these cool signs and a very neat canvas floor cloth. ( that has only been sitting there waiting to be finished for oh 3 years or so. I finally finished yesterday. Wish I had finished it sooner. I love it .

I will take pictures and post them tomorrow....

So I guess I am back. Happy reading.....

Somedays when you just don't know how everything is going to work itself out. You have to remind your self, that if you allow God to be in control, 

He will keep you safe and 

never let you go. 

This song helps me to remember that. I hope it helps you to. 

 Even thought I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Your perfect love is casting out fear

And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life

I won't turn back

I know you are near

And I will fear no evil

For my God is with me

And if my God is with me

Whom then shall I fear?

Whom then shall I fear? 

On no, You never let go

Through the calm and through the storm

Oh no, You never let go

In every high and every low

Oh No, You never let go

Lord, you never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on

A glorious light beyond all compare

And there will be an end to these troubles

But until that day comes

We'll live to know You here on the earth

Still I will praise You, Still I will praise You

America

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' Theodore Roosevelt 1907
