Good Evening almost morning, I had a very productive morning and even woke up ten minutes before alarm rang which is very unusual I might add. Then Alex off to school and I was off to chiropractor and even stopped at a dentist office I pass everyday to see if they take my dental insurance and give them the info to get my charts from IN and then sat in my car awhile waiting for shift to start like I usually do. However, this early arriver was not so early today as she was scheduled at 9 not 10. It was a great laugh and no one would've known if I wouldn't have said anything about what the time clock said. It said clocking in late and that is how I found out. I was mad at myself for awhile but then chose to laugh it off and be happy. God spoke to me today saying...You deserve happiness just because. There is nothing you need to do to deserve happiness. There are no 'minimal requirements' for you to fulfill before you can claim happiness. You deserve happiness simply by virtue of having been born. That's it. Nothing more is required. Be happy.

I also was disturbed tonight when I recieved a msg on machine from my card services, saying please call we want to verify recent activity so I called and come to find out someone used my number at a BJ's warehouse in New Jersey for $889. I don't know how they got my number as I mark out the number on slips until there is a hole. So the card company said they are taking this charge off and closing this card number. I said please don't send me another card either. I haven't used it since the 21st. I was okay with it and didn't get down. I say this is a God win and He provided the service place to question me in NJ, He is in CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow I leave for the ladies retreat which is my first. I am going so I can get to know some ladies better from church. I am hesitant cuz I like to help with events and host but not to keen on attending a large group setting. I am glad to be going to see what God has instore to enlighten me with.

Tonight I also wrote a couple of people I hurt to make amends and even though I did it to clear my heart of all ill I still am wishing for an apology on their part but not expecting it. It is in God's hands now. I now know they got my apology for my doings and actions and that is all I can do and say. I hope I can stay strong and true to who I am rather than be someone who I am not from now on.

I am loving the space still. It is great. I am also back on track as far as my packing lunches and drinking water. I have maintained the weight that I have lost off and looking forward to what God has instore for me this month.

I see an orthopedic doctor on the 29th for my foot to figure out why still swelling and when it is so swollen it hurts. I have to try to walk normal again and do stairs normal as well cuz it is making my hips sore and out of wack according to my chiropractor. It feels weird but have to do.

God is doing amazing things in my life. I have also recommited my life to Him on Easter Sunday. I am praising Him all day long and loving the life He has for me.

He is Risen indeed!!!!!! Praising Him all day long!!!! We had a great breakfast at church then a nice service. After church we had dinner with Sarah's side of the family here at the Dike Baptist Church. Then we came home and met the family that took the bunkbed out of our way. I moved a couple of things to make it walkable and more spacious now that the bed is out of the way. Alex and I are loving the space and keep walking in it. I don't have a before pic except on facebook but I do have the spacious picture. Bunkbed was where the white dresser is and had an inch in between the end of bed to couch. The dresser was at end of my bed and next to couch with little walk room in between bed and dresser.The table that is at end of bed now was next to china cupboard in corner. Space between china cupboard and bed was a sideways body and was tight.

After that we went to Don and Sarah's for Alex to roast marshmallows and hotdogs while Sarah and her cousin Anna and I visited and played Dutch Blitz. I had a headache most of the day and ended up with a small migraine this afternoon around 5pm. I took a maxalt before going over to their house and then had a coke there and by time I left (with 9 people there) it was gone. Don't know if it was the medication or coke or company but grateful it is gone.

I am so glad to be home for a change and able to worship with my church family here. I am looking forward to this month as I continue to grow in the Lord and learn what He has instore for me as well. I am grateful to tell you that I am Lovin Life and enjoying what I have around me. Thank you Lord. I love you and thank you for bearing my punishment on that cross.
