Singles Complete IN HIM

Have you ever eaten so much food that you felt like you were going to be sick? Have you ever felt like if you just threw-up a little that you would feel better? Sounds pretty nasty doesn't it? That food sure looks delicious and you just get hungry by smelling it. It looks soooo good!!! After eating a variety of different sweets (cause you HAVE TO try them all).....you tell yourself "just one more bite". AND THEN YOU REALIZE.....I've bit off WAY MORE THAN  I CAN CHEW!!!   I'm a stay-at-home-wife-and-mom-pursing-God's-will-for-my-life-obeying-Him-every-step-of-the-way-working-on-the-vision-for-SCIH. My children are grown and live their own lives. I do own a cat & dog who are as childish as children and I also own a husband. He takes some time but he's pretty laid-back and always so supportive! I LOVES HIM! And we own some property that needs cared for as well. I AM HOME most every day. Now, to SOME this...

While doing my walk/run at the park recently, I always decide before I get there if I want to work on speed, running hills, or combine the two. This particular day, I wanted to just run hills.  For two full weeks, I completely let myself eat whatever I wanted and did not exercise. It really wasn't because I DIDN'T want to stop, it was Christmas time and there were so many things going on, I just didn't have a the time to plan good meals or exercise. In doing that I learned two things, the good and the bad.  The good was that I didn't have to "work" at it. I just ate whatever I wanted and  had the freedom (and time) to do other things besides exercise. And do you know what? THAT was the ONLY GOOD in the 2-weeks. THE BAD was that I didn't crave ANY foods that I usually don't let myself have "when on a diet" I want to eat chocolate cake, banana pudding, etc. BUT I ate so much junk and things that I REALLY wasn't even hungry for, it mad...

A few weeks ago, my mother signed me up for a 5K, which is approximately 3.1 miles long. I didn't mind the fact that I had to run or even walk this far, I just really didn't WANT to join other people and walk/run this far. For several months now, I've been getting up early (very early in the summer heat), and walk/run at the park. I enjoy it so much. I've walked up to 5 miles at once but found that 4 miles is perfect for me. I don't just walk/run these 4 miles in silence or listening to music. I pray and have little talks with God. It is an awesome time for me to hear the voice of God and to start off my day. Believe me, after doing this for several months, the little issues that I've struggled with in my daily life are diminishing. I've learned to put my trust in the Father and I just love my time with Him everyday!  As each day went by until the big 5K, I continued at the park and tried to beat my 3-mile time. I did pretty well but still dreaded...

Have you noticed that Christian people are a little "shady" of how they feel and what they believe? Have you noticed how "Hollywood" has thrown "shady" scenes in movies, television shows, etc? It happens so much that we are start conforming to it and don't even think it's a big deal anymore. Everyone is doing it and we get so use to seeing it that we don't make a big fuss over it and almost giving our approval of it, because we continue to watch it.   I mean after all, we DO give time to watching our favorite television shows...and wouldn't miss them for the world!!! Let's dig a little deeper at some of our favorite shows. My husband and I like to watch "The Killing"! (And yes, I'm preaching to myself)! So, why in the world would I want to watch a killing show? The name in itself explains what it's all about. Someone dies and they have to solve the murder of who did it. Well, it's a little intense and dr...
