Life

Sorry for the non-creative title. Just really wanted to update on what has been going on in life the past few days

Finances - really been a struggle and a reminder of how if you don't tell your money where to go it really does disappear quickly! I have a typed up paper of finances and need to grab reign of things especially with me working more we should be able to get things back on track! I finally sat down and figured out September will be when I will be more comfortable with our finances. Hopefully I can keep up my pace with working like I am until then. And then one thing is for sure...we will need a vacation.

House - it is getting cleaner slowly but surely. Do not look at the bathrooms, guest bedroom or the kitchen right now but the rest of the house definitely is more liveable. Really wanting to get it cleaner so I can focus on organization and putting up more photos! Definitely remaining more optimistic and focused on getting this goal finally completed!

School - I did much better on my 2nd exam. We have 4 days of clinical left and I have quite a bit of that paperwork due. But I have our case studies for class done so that is a huge sigh of relief. Right now I want to say I have an 80% in the class so hopefully my grades continue to get better on the exams so I can face the final with a huge cushion.

Exercise/Weight Loss - I could giggle at this one. Or snort. Because I am sucking it up in this area lately. Saturday is going to start our smoothies again an meticulous calorie counting. I didn't get exercise in this week yet but maybe tomorrow. If not definitely next week. Because I am SO desperately out of shape.

TTC - well not holding my breath on this one until I am under at the very least 180 and able to jog again. We are still having unprotected sex and I do plan on following my temps next cycle. I found my old bbt but let me tell you what my stinker did when he found it...He took off the end lost it and I have decided it would be more beneficial to buy another one from walmart than spend the time finding the cap and buying a new battery.

Prayer Life/Bible Verse - I have been struggling talking to God I think because I feel like I am drowning in the business off life and financial burden. We still haven't began tithing and it definitely convicts my heart. We might have to just jump in both feet with reckless abandonment and have faith that God won't let us miss that 10% prayers for this would be appreciated!! Also my favorite verse lately has been 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." I am working on not feeling fearful. Claiming the power of Jesus. Loving myself and others just as they are. And becoming more self - disciplined in all the areas of my life.

God is Good! I cannot wait to have this season of financial struggle behind us though and hopefully soon after be expecting another baby! Big hopes and dreams :-)
