Craft Night

My sister and I are totally addicted to Pinterest.com.

After pinning so many great craft ideas, we decided to have a craft night. We have so much fun. Our first project was flip flop hangers which we did a couple of weeks ago.

Last night, I surprised my sister with a dry erase board made out of a frame with a piece of scrapbooking paper to match her kitchen colors. I guess I should have decorated it more than I did, but she loved it and that is all that mattered. My sister made a framed metal board to magnitize her makeup to. It is so cute.

Today is the day!

Today is the day that I voe to complete anything I start.

I get a good idea. Get overly excited. Start the project. Then, nothing. I stop for no reason at all.

Like this blog. I got the idea I could write a blog. Talked to my friend Sara. She hooked me up with all kinds of information. Sara also walked me through the process over the phone. I wrote a couple posts, then that was it. I never went back.

I have this little voice in my head that keeps telling me, "You never complete anything". I also have this problem of getting multiple great ideas and wanting to put them in place all at the same time. ugh.....

Well, today I am turning that voice off. Done.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

God's Promise

Genesis 8 and 9: A rainbow, "This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth."

I'm not sure why, but I am so glad God promised that he would never flood the earth to destroy all living things again. Every time, when I see a rainbow, I will remember God's promise.

God made this promise knowing that all humans would be born with evil.

My promise to God: Always live in the likeness of the Lord.

Cleaning Up

Genesis 4-7

Message: God sent a flood to clean up the earth from all of the evil. We should be the likeness of God. We too can clean up our lives and help others. Lets flood our lives with his Holiness.

What part of your life could you work on and clean up?

For me, I am working on cleaning up all aspects of my life. Career, love, relationships, etc. I have a lot of work to do. Procrastination is my enemy. I need to work on things immediately, instead of letting them getting so bad, it hard to correct.

Putting God First

Genesis 1-3

This is a continuation of my previous post, "New Week, New Beginnings". There is no better way to start the new week than with the word of God. I'm starting with Genesis today. I have a mission to read the entire Bible within the year. I am also using a daily devotional by Joyce Meyer. Now, I just need to find a church that I like. I'm thinking of either going to the Catholic Church in Little Italy or St. Casmir's in Canton. We will see.

Message for today: Genesis 1:27 "God Blessed them and said, "Be fertile, increase in number, fill the earth, and be its master. Rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.""

Wow, what a message. "We are the master's of the earth." Really??? We surely don't act like it. We really need to take care of our little piece of earth that God has given each every one of us. Make it Godly and beautiful.

New Week, New Beginnings

I have got to get it together. I feel good, but I still feel like I have so many things in the air, I am afraid to drop something.

I had a wonderful weekend. My oldest son came home from college for the weekend and brought a couple of friends with him. My daughter and youngest son was there as well. I love having them all together.

I got some great news to start off my weekend with excitement. My tenants will be moving out of my house by the end of October. I will have my house back. I am truly thankful.

Exercise Videos

So, what are you doing to exercise? Workout videos are a great way to get a variety of exercises right in you living room. And they are so inexpensive. I just got a new Pilates video for only $7.99 on clearance. Love it!

I am currently doing the Jackie Warner Power Circuit Training DVD. It is so awesome. It has five different workouts: 15-Minute Total Body Circuit, 15-Minute Abs Only Circuit, 15-Minute Lower Body Circuit, 15-Minute Upper Body Circuit, and 40-Minute Total Body Circuit.

I totally love this video. For about a week, I have been doing the 15-Minute Total Body Circuit, and wow, did it work me out. Some days, I could barely get through the warm-up. So after a week, I thought I was ready for the 40-Minute workout. Well, after doing 30 minutes of the video, I realized I was wrong. The next, I could barely move. It was so funny. She worked out muscles I did not even know I had. I'm going to keep with the 15-minute workout, except do 15-minutes in the morning and 15- minutes in the evening when I get home from work.

If you are looking for a challenging and a variety of exercises, this is the video to try. It was only nine bucks at Walmart. Not bad.

Are you working out to a great video? Leave a post.
