Me(Close to tears)—-“I know, I have really tried, I have pretty much given up all sugar and I have been doing “The SHRED” every chance I get!!! This menopause stuff is making it so difficult. On top of that I am having such a hard time sleeping at night and I get kind of moody sometimes……”
Him—“I am talking about YOUR LUGGAGE Ma’am”
Me—-“OH!! My LUGGAGE!!!
Him(Close to tears)—“Yes ma’am, you are going to have to do something about the extra weight or Pay the extra price!!”
Me(wiping my tears away)–“oh, ok”.
Soooo….My suitcase and I have been working this out together in preparation for this trip.
This is the deal Mrs Samsonite (I assume she IS married since she has little ones that live with her), YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
Believe Me, I KNOW this is not easy but you CAN DO IT. I have faith in you!
Here is a place to start, cut back on the shoes and the extra jacket. Really, YOU DON”T NEED THEM and you know it.
Just say NO!
Another thing, you have to learn when to ZIP IT UP! You can not embrace everything! You have to be selective, you have to choose! A lot of things SEEM GOOD but it is not all GOOD!
There is a time, a place, a season for Bubble Bath, Books and Body Lotion! You just have to leave some things behind!!
Think ahead, “Do I really need this?” “How am I going to feel about it when weigh in comes?”
The discussion was tough on her but sometimes, we have to hear the hard stuff in order to go higher, reach the sky, touch the Heavens!
In the end, it was good, she passed with FLYING COLORS!!
I, on the other hand, needed 4 plastic bins to pass through security!!
Pray for me friends. Sugar really is the enemy!!
Congratulations to The Biggest Looser!!!
Of course, I did cut this guys head off but hey, he deserved it!!
Praise the Lord, the GUTS, the Blow Dryer and the Concealer made it to Green Bay!!
Hey….Watch for me on the Proverbs 31 Devotions Tomorrow, I am so honored to be there!! This is a God Chasing Ministry!!
I hope you missed me bloggy friends 🙂 I missed you! My last Post was October 10th and for the most part, I have been on the road or in the air since that day. It has been an sweet season of ministry and miracles. I have so much to…

I am actually enjoying a moment right now that is an example of one of the things that “Sweet Tea” is all about for me. Enjoying the moment! Honey has just provided me with freshly cut grass which I absolutely love but which does not last very long during these…
You made me realize why I came to this conference this weekend, Pat, and I thank God for bringing you into my life!!! Your sessions today were amazing, and I was especially touched with your 3rd breakout. Thank you for taking the time to pray with me and letting me share my heart with you, as well as my Real Life testimony album (I really could've written 20 more pages but had to get it done within a week)! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it, it truly changed my life last month and made me take a step back from "life" and thank God for each and every moment He has given me! I look forward to hearing you again tomorrow. God bless you and THANK YOU for being you!!! <>< In HIM Alone~ Melinda =)
LOVED your devotional today!!!! What a wonderful analogy. My husband and son waterski/wakeboard etc… and I've so often heard my husband use that same expression. Your application is great.
