Day 9 Of Reformation

Well, I've had lots of opportunity to be tested on this reformation thing in the past 2 days, and there have been a number of times I fell off the wagon. This is a hard one, and obviously necessary. If I could just stay in a bubble by myself it might be easier................. but alas,
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

I could choose to hide it, but I'd best bring it into the light, and be accountable so that I can pass this test (that I willingly chose!)

On top of it all, my husband went away taking the only floss in the house, so I did not get to floss my teeth last night. Boy I cried over that one (NOT) Now I can blame it on my hubby! LOL Those poor guys, they get the blame for alot of things sometimes.

Not much else to report, when you are perservering, sometimes there are no feelings, just a sense to keep up the tenacious spirit and press in and onward.

I spent all day painting flowers on Lindsay's walls in her new room. As usual, I procrastinated, and did the base colors and then left it for a month. Her open house is on Monday and I realized I had 2 days to finish all the fiddly painting. You'd think I'd learn. Maybe I just do better under pressure, who knows. I ran out of paint as I was doing the last flower. I'll take photos next week to show you all. Cindy Chilvers says I'm living my "surpressed flower-child" life through Lindsay. lol

It has been beautiful and sunny here all week, highs of 10-14 degrees. Walmart has there perennials out, and the tulips are popping up. Hooray for spring!
This will be my first March Break without the care of Lindsay and I will be able to enjoy normal March Break activities, how awesome.

Well, I'm rambling....................... keep pressing in team, and if you're doing well, then let up a prayer for me, so I can keep pressing onward and upward.

Oh Cheryl,
I have "Spring envy"!!! ;o) It has been soooo cold here this past week. The ice and snow is melting and receding on the very sunny days. Slowly, my garden is being exposed beneath the snow. I planted 10 purple tulips in the fall...so I am really looking forward to SPRING!
Looking forward to seeing the pictures of Lindsay's room.
Love,
Holly

Hello Beautiful! Here, I'm sending you some "computer" floss _____________________________
Just use it as you see fit! Today is Saturday and the temperatur has finally risen. I woke up to a touch of rain, if you can imagine.
I was reading and this jumped out at me "out of all the peoples on the face of the earth,the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession." Deut. 14:2. So o treasured one I pass that on to all who need to be reminded. By the way you Bellevillians - pick up some flowers at Deweys to get you through. I bought a hyacinth there and the scent is intoxicating! Luv ya Cheryl!

We still have snow, which I'm very weary of!

I have been away so have fallen off the wagon with my treadmill routine. This has been a difficult week for me to exercise as I'm still recovering from my mishap and i was away from Wednesday morning till Friday afternoon.

Saturday is a new day and I WILL use my treadmill!!

Enjoy your March break. I sure that Matt will have loads of ideas on what to do!!
