I can't believe it is Thursday again... Time really does fly when you are older :)
Some housekeeping really quick before I begin my "TT" list...
-"Jackie" won my Starbucks Gift Card that I gave away in the bloggy giveaway last week.
-I wrote a post earlier about being a "slave to the scale"... in that post I said that I would only weigh once a week...well, that did not happen. I know I have a problem with the scale...well, just not the scale, but the whole food addiction. I think as I grow in freedom with the food addiction, the scale thing will not be such an issue anymore.
OK, onto the "TT" post.
- My Hubby and I are leaders of a Small Group of adults from our Church. Last night, we added three new couples, and the group went so well... I hope the new couples will find that the regular members will become family to them, as they are to my hubby and me. Also, we had babysitting issues (meaning we had way more kids than babysitters) with our SG for awhile, and God answered our prayers and orchestrated the best babysitting set up I have seen in over 2 years!!! Woo-Hoo!!
-My hubby has been reading the book "Bringing Up Boys" by Dr. James Dobson, and that book has been ministering to him left and right. He is learning so much from the book, and the info is clicking in his heart... What do I mean by clicking? Have you ever read something (even from the Bible) at one time in your life and nothing really happened in your heart or mind, and then later in time you read the same information and it is speaking to every area of your life??? Well, that is what I kind of mean about my husband and this book. Now, he is telling me to finish reading the book which is so funny, because I am normally the one nagging him to read books :).
-I have continued the exercise routine I have set up for myself about 4 weeks ago. Also, I am thankful that I have the funds so that I could join my local 24 hour fitness place.
-My hubby (wow, this thankful is a lot about him) over the past several months has really deepened some of his friendships... some of these friendships have been in the works for over two years... I am so excited for him.
-Last, I am thankful that God is loving and patient with me... I am so wanting to walk the narrow path that leads to life, but have found myself lately taking a few road trips (spiritually speaking) to some of the broad roads of life. I have given up on myself a million and one times, but the Lord has not given up on me.
Blessings as you seek the Way, the Truth, and the Life (aka: JESUS)!!!

Praising the Lord with you. Love and hugs, Lynn
I've read that book and it is SO good...absolutely an eye opening and I feel a great way to deepen our relationship with our sons...
Thank you so much for a wonderful and very sweet post!
I am so glad that you hubby is really enjoying the book. I totally know what you mean about clicking in your heart - I have read Bible passages before (over-and-over) and one day it just made sense.
How cool that you have such a great group meeting for Bible study :) - and that the baby sitting works out now too.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Blessings to you and yours...
Woo hoo for solved babysitting problems--our small group has had issues, so I know what a blessing that is! May God continue to bless your small group--that's where Christian relationships really bloom and grow.
You might want to fix your link on Iris's page--it links to the "she speaks" conference instead of this thread.
Bringing up boys is a good book.
And thank goodness God doesn't give up on us when we're trying to find the right path.
Bravo for keeping with your excercise. Wish I could say the same. :(
Nice post and thanks for sharing.
