A Glittery God, 27MAY

I united the sparkly lanyard I bought on our beach girls mini-retreat trip with the glittery cross my cousin gave me on my trip… I will keep them in my car for the blessed memories and blessed journeys… It sparkles in the Sun and we ALL sparkle in the Son, the biggest star of all!

How truly blessed I am to have a glittery life, amazing family and friends, and 100% a faithful and often glittery God…. Amen and thanks be to God for all of you. You glitter God to me endlessly!

Diamond Day, 27MAY

Tom Petty is so important to me (I remember vividly being in such tears and broken down state sitting in the car at a pizza place one evening, about twenty years ago, and listening to “Walls” over and over… I would say that the song gave me strength, and I pulled myself out of the worst down state…. So with the seriously amazing counselling of both my friends and going to my old church where the sermons touched my heart and brought me to tears) all those things brought me back up…. And how things improved from there…. Whew…. And I never looked back but kept building and building…

It IS nice to not look backwards but to reflect on how I awakened…. God must have made me write these for a reason… “Supernatural Radio” – I had always enjoyed the song but it never spoke to me like it did when I was awakening… Thanks Tom Petty!

The same cords as Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin” are used in ‘Only LOVE……. Only they LOVE of MY Jesus…’ Wow I couldn’t have said that a mere five months ago, but it warms my heart so now… I can’t wait until this Christmas, it will be my first REAL Christmas, oh my how awesome is that!!!!!

Today was one of those diamond days.

Praise God for putting my head on straight – and then working on the rest of me! 28MAY

Happy to go to doctors today, Doctor was thrilled, 26lbs lost from six months ago! And still losing. Blood work is awesome!!!

I so have to praise God for giving me focus on health eating and exercise, taking away/identifying the stress eating, making it easy (really) to knock out the carbs and junk and giving me something else to hunger for!!!! Amen!!!!
