Day 211 - Evaluation

 
All my evaluations of the 2013/2014 are over!

I had my 2nd semester visit from the Headmaster today.

The kids were amazing and everything went really well. Glad to be done with that for both my sake and the kids. They were really, really nervous, whereas I didn't even get a single butterfly!

I am thankful that God gave me the calm confidence to teach as I always do, even in front of my boss.

I am thankful that I was able to help the kids relax somewhat and that they too performed as they always do.

I am thankful that the week is all smooth sailing from here!

Day 210 - {Tiny Tuesday}


I am thankful for so many big things that sometimes it's really hard to come up with something small to give thanks for!

But after dinner tonight I can say without a doubt that one tiny thing I am SUPER grateful for is garlic.

I made kale. Which is very good for you... but I'm not very fond of the flavor.

So I chopped it up, threw it in the skillet with some butter, salt/pepper/garlic and let it brown a bit. The garlic did wonders for the taste!

I am thankful that God provided us with such amazing food in nature.

I am thankful that all the nutrients that we need are freely given by The Creator.

I am thankful that we are not doomed to a life of bland dishes!

Day 209 - Monday, Now Brought to You With ENERGY!


That's right, you read that correctly!

A Monday that is FULL OF ENERGY! What's happening??

I love it!

This new diet that we are trying is working amazingly well, to say the least.

With other things that we have tried there has been very little change in our physical situation, even after 6 months of diligence. That can be SO frustrating and discouraging.

Not this time.

Even after day 3 I felt a huge change.

At this point (day 14) almost all of my Candida symptoms are gone and I've lost about 12 pounds.

My energy is through the roof and I am so relieved that we didn't just throw in the towel after the last failed attempt.

PRAISE GOD!

Just wanted to update y'all. Please continue to pray that all continues as it has; I truly appreciate all the prayers and support!

I am thankful that GOD is faithful to see us through the hard times.

I am thankful that He did not let me relax into a place of defeat.

I am thankful that His power of healing will be seen through my life.

Day 207 - Field Trip


My dad called me up today to take a trip with my mom and him.

They found a property that they are thinking about purchasing and wanted me to go too!

It was a great day of dreaming and planning, driving and chatting.

A wonderful way to spend a Saturday!

I am thankful for the chance to spend time with my parents.

I am thankful that I was able to maintain my diet during an impromptu 6 hour day trip. 

I am thankful that God seems to be unfolding a plan for our family right now!
