Fasting tv & facebook games--- day one

What got me started.

God seems to be sending me hints lately about time management.
Not being one who is very disciplined in time management I have known that I need to do better
with my time.   When I took a look at how I spend my time, vs the stress in my life of all the
things that need to be done, I realized it was my lack of discipline with my time that was the issue
more than it was the things that had to be done.
Not only that but how much time I put into playing games, or watching tv and less time in prayer, or
reading God's Word.
God is trying to get my attention, He wants to spend more time with me! Much like I would like
to spend time w/ my kids when they lived at home were busy texting or online.
I have noticed that since my youngest daughter has not had her phone, we spend more time talking together, and what a joy it has been to just spend time with her.
If I get that much joy from having her attention and conversing with her, how much more would God love to spend that kind of time with me?
Seems He uses the kids often to teach me about my relationship with Him.

So, I have decided that for the month of December I will spend less time on the internet, no tv, and no facebook games.
Yesterday was rough, as I am used to having meals w/ the family watching our favorite tv shows.
Time to have family at the dinner table again :)
Then, it's our thing to watch tv the hour before bed, and to fall asleep watching tv.
No tv last night, in bed by 10pm and asleep before 11pm.  We said our prayers together instead of tv.
It was great, and I slept so good that I was able to get up at 6am. I admit, I tried to go back to bed but then I remembered that I was going to start myself on a new schedule and that included getting up to spend time with Rick and Meagan before they head off to work/ school.
So, a quick goodbye w/ Rick, and breakfast with Meagan before she caught the bus, was a great start.
Then off to spend time with the Lord.  I'm doing a bible study, and it's been a great start today.
I'm journaling this on my blog so I can look back and see how much this will improve my life :)

Praise report from yesterday- My mom no longer has Congestive Heart Failure! The fluid is gone!
Also, my dad went to the VA and his results came back great too! No prostate cancer, and he doesn't have to go back for a year!
Ricks dad also has been doing great this week! He even helped Rick stain the deck to the studio.

Remember to spend some time with God today... He loves to spend time with you!

Foggy

Ok.. so it's been awhile since I last posted !! Sorry about that!
I took off work for a 3 day weekend with my WONDERFUL hubby
just before the Christmas holidays.
We had a great time.
Then a fabulous Christmas with the kids. Except for my son and daughter n law
who are stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA.  We missed having them here.
The following day Paige, Logan, Mike, Meagan, and myself headed down to
our resort on Canyon Lake. It was nice, but weird not having Rick there.
He had to work on call, and no extra days to take off because he's saving them
for our Hawaii trip.
I drove up Thursday took Meagan and Logan home, and picked up Rick to
go back to our cabin for our Anniversary!! 
4 Years!  We had fun! Fireworks every year:)
We played in the dark.. not what you're thinking !! We went out to wait for
moon, as it was sooo beautiful the night before, and we wanted to capture it.
Soo we went across the lake, and waited, and waited, and waited, an hour or more
after sun down, and we figured it just wasn't coming soon..
fingers frozen, nose like a popcicle, we headed back in.
2 days later returning home.. sore throat..
2 weeks later now.. still trying to battle this cold.

Which is where FOGGY comes in.. I'm here, I need to work,
and yet my mind just can't focus!!
I don't know if it's the meds, or if I'm just tired from the virus.
Maybe a pot of coffee, some loud dance music, and a shower
will do the trick.
Off I go... I promise.. I'll be a better blogger soon :)
