*** Tuesday's Roll Call ***

Good Morning Letty, Shel, Becky, Lynda, Peg, Rosie, Tamara, Annette, and Cindy! And Everyone else! What an awesome roll call we had yesterday. Almost everyone had a praise to report! Praise God!!! Letty, Good to hear from you yesterday! Hope you are doing well. Shel, I cannot wait until you are working at home. We have really missed you since you have been working. Annette, I read your praise last night. I go to a very big church so I can totally understand how you could go 3 years without seeing someone. Another example of God's perfect timing. I am sure He had a reason for bringing your cousin back in to your life right now. Peg, I hope you are healing well. You are definitely in my prayers to get healthy and strong. Actually, that is my prayer for all of us. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Cindy, I have been reading your profile. It looks like you are doing great. You inspired me to try some refried beans yesterday. I love them but have been afraid to try. They did fine. Praise God. I hope you continue to do better and better. Lynda, it looks like you are doing great also. We are so glad to have you posting with us everyday now. I can't wait to get to know you better. Becky, I am praying for your approval this week. I know you will let us know when you hear somthing. Rosie, you have really brought some humor to this group. Thanks for all the riddles and jokes! Tamara, we are glad to have you here too. Keep posting and let us know what is going on in your life. As for me, I had another good eating day yesterday. Praise God. I am feeling a little stronger everyday. I may even make it back to work next week. Today I am going to really focus on getting in my water. I hope everyone has a Jesus filled day! Love, Jacinda

Good morning Jacinda and everyone else! I am doing well and feel blessed to be able to come here and read everyone else's posts/updates. I'm glad you had a good eating day. Don't forget to take your vitamins aswell. Let me tell you a secret!.......I'm turning 26 on Thursday and it's kinda scary because 4 more years and I'll be 30! It's also a blessing beacuse I'm also getting wiser! Hugs and be blessed everyone! Letty

Letty Scared of turning 30!!!!!!What girl! I'm 34 and it feels good(I think)30 is not old girlfriend.God Bless you baby girl. Rosie

Well Letty, Happy Birthday a couple of days early. I hate to tell you this, but you are probably the baby here on this board. I think I am somewhere in the middle at 37. I actually celebrated my 37th in the hospital. Everybody thought that was terrible but it wasnt. The nurses sang happy birthday to me! For what its worth, I do remember getting close to 30 and freaking out a little. 29 was the hard one for me. The funny thing is that I always thought that women in their 30's just had it all together. You know...balancing a husband, kids and work. Boy was I wrong. I have it no more together than I ever did. Although, I am enjoying life in my 30's. This is a great time and it goes by so fast. Hang on girl. You'll be here before you know it!

Good Morning Everyone! What a wonderful day - God's mercies are new each day! I love this forum! You are all wonderful and I thank my Lord and Savior for my new friendships. I am going to the doctor today for my first check-up. I weighed on my scale today (even though I am only weighing on Sun. mornings) so I can compare my scale to his. But it looks like I am down 44 pounds! Then I am going to Curves later and I will weigh there too. That way I will know the differences and not get upset if something is wrong. I guess you can't tell I may have a fixation with the scales. After years and years of dieting and struggling you would think I would hate them! I am going this evening to Idaho to take care of my father who has cancer. Please pray for him. He is in a lot of pain from the chemo and radiation. The doctor told us last week that his cancer may be gone but the treatments need to continue. I will try to get on line while I am in Idaho. Love ya all! God Bless, Lynda

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are enjoying your day~because each day is a gift from God. I am so happy, so very happy I have the love of Jesus in my heart~ deep in my heart~and I'm so happy so very happy..... There are songs in my heart today Thank you Jesus! Happy to hear you are eating, And feeling so much better Jac. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ~HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LETTY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU~MAY GOD BLESS YOU~MAY GOD BLESS LETTY~ MAY GOD BLESS YOU, WITH MANY MORE. Lynda, I will be praying for you, and your father. God be with you. Tomorrow is my final weigh in. I'm praying I do well. I don't think I gained any weight, but feel nervous about it. 8 day's and a wake up until my surgery. Feeling calm about that. . Thank you Jesus! You all have a blessed day, In Christ, Annette

Hello, Jacinda, Letty & Lynda Hello Everyone!!!! Jacinda, I am so trilled for you being able to eat better!!!! You had had me worried, girl!!!! Lynda, Have a safe trip to your dad's. Congrats on your -44 !!!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day in Jesus!!!! He is worthy of our praise and adoration!!!! God bless each and everyone of you! Cindy

Good afternoon Jac and everyone!!! Guess what?! I'm typing on my desk top computer at HOME!!! I got to bring my computer home today and I start working from home tomorrow! I'm so excited. Jac, I'm glad you are starting to eat better. I have to admit, I was getting worried too. Letty, you are a young one! I'll be 39 in February. I've never let my age bother me. I mean, what can I do about it anyway. It is just something that happens. So, every year I just try to enjoy my special day. It is hard to believe that I'll be 40 in a couple of years! It is so very good hearing from everyone. And it looks like we are getting lots of new people too. That is wonderful!! Anyway, everyone have a fantastic afternoon!! Shel

Letty, Shel, Becky, Lynda, Peg, Rosie, Tamara, Annette, and Cindy and of course all of our new comers(had to copy the names from Jac)our list is getting bigger and bigger!!Praise God. Well ladies,today was an awesome day.I feel the Lord!I couldn't sleep last nite and stood up until 4am wow I don't know why!! My husband gets up early and when he got up I went to bed I stood up updating my profile and studied a little of the bible on line and prayed for everyone that requested prayer on this board. You all inspire me and I love you in Jesus name. Thanks for being here for all of us,especially me! Well ever since I stopped working It seems that I can't get to sleep. I use to be in bed by 9pm and 10pm during church nites.Oh Well. I'm praying for that. Last nite my daughter ask me why she had to be born into this family? I was shocked. I told her my past and that I too once thought the same way and that God has a plan for her life. You see I have 4 kids and 3 live with me.My oldest is already 18yrs old and has since graduated from high school and now has 2 jobs and is ready to go into welding. Prais God that he turned out to be a good boy. My daughter is 14 going to be 15 in Dec. well anyhow I told her that I try to give her what she needs and she isnt suffering and she has clothes on her back and food in her tummy. We dont beat her or mistreat her. So what else does she want. I told her that her life could be worse if we weren't in CHrist. She said "why couldn't she go out with her friends"? And I told her that your only 14 and i trusted you once and you lied and told me that you were going to be somewhere else and when I went to look for you,you weren't there. You told me to trust your friend because she wasn't like the other girls,but she turned out not to be trusted.I let her go out with our church group let her spend the night over a few trusted sitsters and let her do things with the church youth group,which is practaclly every saterday. Prior to our conversation I went into my daughters e-mail and read her e-mail( I have the right to do so);-D And it read something like:Well my mom says that I can't go out with boys,unless I lie and tell her that I'm going out with friends". I was like what! But wasn't going to say anything until I read more of her e-mails. So I BROUGHT IT UP!!!!!!! Yes I sure did. I went to the computer and showed it to her and said " And you want me to trust you"? She just stood quiet. After a long talk and dishes were done we went on our little run and showered and off to bed they went. So I stood over her while she slept and prayed for her. God is awesome! He spoke to me in my heart and said that I need to stand my ground and no compromises(sp?) you see my husband and I we're talking about these and we were thinking of letting her go out some times with the girls in school. BUt not anymore. Not until she can be responsible here at home and she can be trusted. She is a good kid,but needs a little more growing up to do before going out. ( Sorry so long and boring,but I know that you all will understand me more then anyone else. Love you in Jesus name, Rosie

Oh! and Jac, I'm glad your doing better.It only GETS better girl. Rose
