Preparing for a Church Rally

If I have not mentioned in the past my husband David is the pastor of a small church in Oklahoma.

The congregation is small and the building is in need of a lot of work so we have to raise money to upkeep and remodel and it is going very slowly. Here are a few pics of some recent work.

What a Wonderful Weekend

Memorial Day weekend was great! I was able to spend 2 of those days with my husband alone and on Monday our Son  and his family spent the whole day with us. We laughed, we talked, we played Balderdash,We ate ourselves silly and we played with Noah. The day cold have only been improved upon if all of my kids and grandkids could have been with us.

Did Someone say DiEt

Ugh! I read a saying just recently ""Every time I say diet I wash my mouth out with Chocolate." I don't really but I would like to. 
I have started another journey this last week, I am trying to lose weight to gain control of my health. The Doctor told me If I was to lose weight I would be able to be completely medicine free. I am praying to lose at least 10 lbs by the time I have to see her again in Sept. I know it's going to be a long bumpy road that I will be travelling but what journey doesn't have it's pot holes and little ups and downs, maybe even a few flat tires. but we just keep on truck'in.

Traveling and Going Nowhere

This past weekend was a little hectic as On Sunday I traveled 200 miles to go to Church. Traveled thru 3 states yet ended up at our church in Jay which is only 35 miles from our home.
Traveled approx. 100 miles on Monday to from my Dr. appointment. So I traveled and really didn't go any where. For the amount of driving I did in these last 2 days I cold have gone some where on holiday.

Life's Little Bumps

Monday April 30 my dad started having pain in his stomach and continued into Tuesday when Marilyn my Step mother took him to the Dr. in Tahlequah and they told him he was having a heart attack. they then rushed him on to Tulsa by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital where they had to replace the two stents in his heart  They were totally blocked again and had a 4 mil long blood clot they had to remove. Later we found out that it had damaged 15% of his heart that the attack had been a severe one. I am thankful that the Lord guided the surgeons hand and now dad is back home recovering. One year ago this month my mom was having heart problems from her diabetes and on June 9th at around 2pm passed away. The bumps in the road can be big or small but with my Jesus he can help me get over them.
It has made me think about my health and how I really need to take control of my issues and get my life back.

Monday - A New Experience

 
I downloaded an app to my phone.called the square. It is neat you open the app choose the business you want, go into the store and give them your name then it is charges to your account what you buy...

Then I went to a little Coffee house here in Siloam Springs   Pour Jon's   and used it.

The decoration inside was very rustic and cute.
