PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

Ok...so to say I have been struggling with Halloween candy, all while trying to live a healthier lifestyle, is an understatement! But yesterday morning I prayed to God for strength. Then in the afternoon when the Reese's PB Cups were calling my name (they are my absolute fave!!!) I felt God saying to me, do you want to have to say you are sorry AGAIN for this in our time together tomorrow morning? Of course I knew what He meant--since I had been apologizing the last three days for eating candy and junk food, and asking for His forgiveness each time. And Praise the Lord I felt FREE!!!! I still do feel FREE!!!! Obedience to God is not a prison, it is FREEING!!!! I love it. Also, it got to be about 10PM and I hadn't exercised yet--so while Mark and I watched TV, I marched in place for 30 minutes. Not exactly the kind of workout most peeps do, but it is SOMETHING! We have a deal that if I exercise every single day in November, he will take me somewhere special. So I certainly didn't want to mess it up the first day! I love how supportive he is of me. Thank you Lord for blessing me with such an amazing husband, whom I have been married to for 10 years on the 13th. Unbelievable. Lord, if I could count all your blessings to me I would never get anything else done, because I would be counting all day long. Thank you Jesus. I love you!!!!

By the way--the pics are of my "office"--one of the Facebook craft groups I am in was posting pics of our workspace, just for fun, so here is mine. Notice all the guitars :) I love my husband. Did I already say that? ;)
