Day Four: HIs eye is on the sparrow . . .
This is a new morning to a new day . . . to a new week and a new chapter. I have so much to be thankful for and many challenges ahead . . . but if I remember that His eye is on the sparrow then everything will be okay J So here’s my ‘thankful’ list:
Thankful List
1. My family: my parents have been very supportive as I pursue my doctorate, while juggling a fulltime and part-time job, and caring for a family [the youngest being 3 ½ years old]. My husband does take me off track and has caused me many tears but I do love him and appreciate the things that he does do . . . he is a good Dad.
2. My health: I had a scare with a lump in my breast a couple of years ago. Last winter I had several visits to the emergency department related to issues with my thyroid and my heart. But praise God things are better today . . . not perfect, but they are better J
3. My job(s): I am thankful that I am able to go to work every day – many people are without a job or just aren’t able to work.
4. My friends: I don’t have a lot of ‘close’ friends but I do have several friends who are rooting for me and I appreciate them.
5. My home: I am thankful that I have a ‘roof over my head’ and am able to pay my bills. So many times this is taken for granted.
My Challenges [this week]
1. Positive and happy thoughts J
a. I start my new course this week.
b. I meet with the counselor again on Thursday.
c. My husband’s ex is still lurking around – but she’ll be gone in a week [hopefully].
d. So many things to do and so very little time – I think I need a course in time management L
2. Eat healthy meals and snacks.
3. Drink water – this is still challenging.
4. Exercise.
I’d like to make time to do something special just for me [like a massage] but I don’t know where I would fit it in L Oh well, have a great week and thank you for stopping by J
