I can sit on there for HOURS...I knew it was getting out of hand, but He put an end to it! So, I will not be leaving ya'll. Although, me as an inspiration is kinda weird/funny to me. It still seems not right. Like I feel I don't offer that much. Guess that's a good thing...I stay humble. I'm here to serve, which is why I feel bad sometimes when I ask for help.

ANYWAY...thanks for wanting me around! :D

Hi Rayne, I'm so glad you are sticking around! :)
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and the others!

That's what happened to me a couple years ago... I stretched myself out too thin and then dropped out of sight!!! I just got so overwhelmed... didn't know how to deal with it. Several family members passed away in one year; my folks became very ill; then I became ill (at the time didn't know what was wrong)... seemed it was one thing after another! Also, I was posting here, posting & creating Signature Tags at another forum (which takes A LOT of my time to do... I chat with so many gals there!) not to mention my personal e-mails and the time it takes to go thru my g-mail (I get Yahoo Group mail there... has gotten as high as 7,000 for me!). Plus it takes time for me to create a tag (like the one I'm wearing) before I put it up for adopt. I should have never left like I did and regret the day I had!!! I missed everyone so much, but just didn't know where to begin again after being away for so long. I grew especially close to Angie and Gary and felt terrible in the way I left...

Anyway... all this to say, I too am glad you shared and didn't just leave. Wish I had done that 2 yrs ago. :(

I'm so glad to be back... just wish I had mentioned all my woe's to the group at the time, I KNOW that it would have been a big help to me and I would not have left like I did. I just didn't want to burden anyone... being I am usually so upbeat!

Thanks for giving me an -open- door to share... and for staying! :hug:
God's Blessings...

Gary - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!:balloons: Trust it has been a good day!

SunnyD - We share the same birthday. Mines Feb. 8 as well.

O2Bme - Good luck on your eating. Salmon is one of my favorites. Today I made a Crab & Corn Bisque soup that I found on WW. I was a little skeptical at first, but it ended up being very good. My DH says that receipe is a keeper.

I trust you all have a blessed Sunday and fell the Lord's presence anew in your life.

AGGIE, sometimes our greatest STRENGTHS come from our failures. You are not a failure by the way! However we all make mistakes...it is EASY to know how raise a 5 year old...once they get to be 10 ;) We are to share the WORD with our children, but in all honesty it is a PERSONAL relationship we all have with Christ...we cannot do for them...all we can do is pray and seek guidance. It will all work out :hug:

Thank you ROSEBUD :hug: Continued prayers for MUG too.

We can stop posting here...I have opened a thread for MARCH ~ Gary

Hi All!

This was a great day in the Lord. We have 2 services in the morning and the choir sings in both so I get to enjoy the song service for both services. The Lord's presence was so real and was just what I needed. I wish you all could have been there.

Did get a walk/run in today even though it was cold. I'm really starting to enjoy exercising. It use to be my thorn in the flesh, but not only will it help with my weight loss, it is a stress reliever. It just feels good to move.

Not much to report today. Have a great week everyone.

Kathy

Happy LATE Birthday Gary!!!! Sorry I wasn't here yesterday!!!
