This, that, and the other.

We were shown last week to another potential expectant mom, but she turned us down. But we have another showing on the 28th.

TV Free month is going well. The basement is 3/4 organized! It will soon be done. Then we will move on to organizing the garage. Now that will be a task! :)

We finally got going on the gym. We went Monday for an upper body work-out. And we went back this morning for a lower body workout. So every other day, and every other workout.

I've been enjoying walking on Monday mornings with a group of women from church. But I need to get more aerobics in. So I will. :)

Not too much going on. Just lots of busy work organizing and cleaning the house. It's a really nice feeling to get that done.

The no TV month has it very peaceful around the house. We aren't really listening to the radio much either. But we do listen in the evenings, to:

"Vine & Branches" (You can also listen online) http://www.rabbiyeshua.com/webstore/vine&branches/index.html

Followed by

"Walk in the Word" http://www.kkms.com/ministryaudio/walk_in_the_word/

That has been really enjoyable and informative too.

So all in all, things are looking pretty good right now. :)

Love,
Julie

TV Free Month

Ok, so we're going "TV FREE" for one month. With the exception of maybe am/pm news (so we can keep up to date with weather/storms etc.)

Anyhoo, as part of that, we're also cutting down on internet time as well. So I will be on here a lot less. As if I've posted a lot lately huh? :)

All this is part of our effort to break our little rut, get into better habits (walking, cleaning up big areas like garage, Bible study, talking time, reading books, I think you get the idea :) ).

So it's for a good purpose. :)

I remember a lecture I went to through Hearts at Home, where they said it's good to "fast" from TV or Internet for a month at a time here and there and just reconnect with God and stop any bad habits. Oh You want me to remember who that lecturer was too, don't you! Umm . . .

YES! I found it! It's Susie Larson: http://www.heartshoppe.com/6096.html


"Balance That Works When Life Doesn't"

For many Christian women, life seems out of control. The conflicting demands and various pulls on their time seem irreconcilable. Prepare healthy meals, exercise, rest, study and pray, serve, keep the household running, and even manage a career . . How can a woman possibly balance all the demands of a twenty-first century Christian lifestyle? Learn how to make choices that create a natural flow and rhythm that you can live with as you develop physical and spiritual health.


Anyway, I'll be praying for you all, and please pray that we have a truly blessed time. :)

Love,
Julie
