WOW! Good Morning Lord! Good Morning World!
How are we all doing today; this beautiful "Day that the Lord has made!"?
The Past week has been a busy one for us with DH's birthday and Valentine's Day. Yep! from Thursday to Thursday.
We celebrated his birthday and Valentine day together on Saturday, by going to Dave and Buster's. (A dream finally come true for him.) He was so excited and we had such a great time. We both forgot how enjoyable it is to just hang out and be. We forgot how much we really enjoy doing things like this together. All I could say is "Wow! Lord!"
We also invited the people we've been meeting with to join us on this outing as our small group meeting for the week. So this week our small group met at Dave and Buster's.
It was a great time had by all. A great place to be during a snow storm, if you have some money. But all in all, it wasn't bad or any worse than any other establishment that is frequented by families. (Actually, it was quite awesome. Can't wait to go back.)
It was a good weekend because he had the weekend off. First time in like, forever, (ok so I'm exaggerating some). It's just so nice and humbling when you see the plan of God come together for your life, but you have to hang in there in order to see it happen.
This birthday and Valentine day of 2015 was truly a blessing to be long remembered as the time when God gave him the desire of his heart: and that was to go to Dave and Buster's!
What a great way to start a new year: with the favor of the Lord on your side!

Marriage Small Group
We have been holding our marriage small group meetings this month, which has been going very well, for just starting out. We've officially met three weeks in a row so far!
We're just doing what we know to do for now and let God direct and lead in all the other areas we will discover. But for now, we are enjoying meeting together, being out, enjoying each others company and fellowship.
There will be more to follow on this ministry. I am building a website specifically for our "Celebration of Marriage" ministry. Just know that we have a vision and a plan, and we have God; the author of both.

Unexpected Present
I received a dozen roses for Valentine Day, an unexpected present, even though they were late because of all the snow storms across the US. But nevertheless, I did receive them and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived.
DS#2 and Family sent them with their love. ( If only you knew how they longed to be in a position to do something like this for me.) These are the times when they let you know that they do love you and do think about even when you don't think they do.
Again, God gives His people, His children, the desire of their hearts, because He's the Only One Who is able to meet their needs.
God has truly blessed me with my family. I thank Him everyday that I have them in my life and they allow me in theirs. I thank Him for the relationship I have with them and I thank them for their relationship with me.
Much love to my entire family and grandchildren. Love you all!

Health Update
Ok, I've been working hard and diligently to get a handle on all the medical and health issues I have. Between the fibromyalgia, the diabetes and the hidradenitis to weight loss, healthy diet and exercise, it's been a lot to deal with and focus on while still focusing on what God has for you to do.
I've been participating in a free online community called Spark People. It is a huge wellness and health site with articles, videos, trackers and community challenges. They have everything you could possibly think of when it comes to medical conditions and healthy living. By being committed to myself and this site, I've managed to lose approx. 6 lbs. in 2 months! Yea me!
My blood sugar numbers are still the hardest to deal with. There is so much that goes into trying to do everything you can to control your numbers. But what is depressing and distressing is that when you have done everything you can and the numbers still aren't in your favor or come down to where you think it should be.
Oh, what fun all of this has been! Definitely not boring!
