Hello All,

I havent blogged much lately due to being very preoccupied here at home with things that need to be done.It leaves me for little time to be on the computer and do much more than read a few blogs.

We have the whole month off from school,so I have been trying to get as much accomplished as possible before hitting the books again.Decluttering is a big thing around here when we have our month off from school .Seems like it dosent take long for everything to pile up and get out of hand if we let it.I was able to give alot of stuff away which I love doing.I would rather see someone use the stuff than take it to a goodwill where they sell it for too high prices anyway.We have also been getting ready for camping which is coming up real soon.Our first trip is scheduled for the 26th of this month.It may be a bit chilly but thank God for the camper this year.

I have also been taking a break from the cooking of large meals.I have been trying to fix quicker healthier meals now that we are spending alot of time outside.I just love chicken that is cooked skinless with garlic and olive oil with a dash of minced onions Mmmmm tasty and very healthy.

Lord willing I will be joining the TOPS program at our church this Friday.It is a weight loss group that offers support and encouragement to Take Of Pounds Sensibly.It is a different story when we have to face the scales each week and come face to face with our addiction to food. I believe this is going to help me alot,just facing up to my problem with overeating.I am thankful to have a husband who is encouraging me on my weight loss,but to also know that he loves me just the way I am.Unconditional love,thats the way that God loves us.That kind of love seems almost impossible for our human minds to comprehend dosent it?To know that we dont have to do anything,or be any particular way for God to love us.He is awesome and I am so glad He is in my life.

Well I have went on enough.Back to the housework and serving my sweet family.Thank you Lord for your many blessings.

In His Name,

Rachel
