Today we went to Waterloo to get Alex's glasses adjusted from when I got her new frames when I was still in Indiana and she was not with me to. They have a store here. We also tried to locate the Assembly of God church that her children's pastor told me about before leaving.(He is from Iowa as well and will be at church camp out here next summer) We ate lunch at Carlos and it wasn't the same. I miss my Carlos family. Before leaving today we called Mrs. Hoffman (Alex's first grade teacher) and she said she was going to give us a few more days then email mom for info. and we called the one friend Alex had in school but Jordan wasn't home nor her mom Gina. So we left msg on answering machine.

I fell asleep this afternoon after getting home. I woke up around 5pm and Sarah was on voicemail saying if I wanted I could help Don that they were done relaxing for their anniversary. So I worked 3 hours with him. I plan to go after church to help again since there is a lot of work to be done by next week and it is suppose to rain Monday and Tuesday.

I bought two books today at the Christian bookstore. One Jennifer recommended and that one is Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson and the second one I saw next to it and sounds like I need it and that one is Victory over the darkness by same author. Bondage one is about overcoming negative thoughts, irrational feelings, and habitual sins. The other one is realizing the power of your identity in Christ.

I failed my commitment for bible study. I am trying not to go out and eat at restuarants for the duration of the study and I have failed. I am going to try again not to. I am not going to let this set back discourage me from trying to do it.

P.S.
I am having quiet time with God and what do you know, day three of the Daniel homework, it talks about training yourself in godliness. In 1 Timothy it says don't follow foolish stories that disagree with God's truth (cousin) and training body helps in some ways but serving God helps in everyway and brings blessings in life and future. See, Satan wanted me to feel quilty about my procrastination but today is the day I needed this. God knew that. Romans 6:19 You must give yourselves to be slaves of goodness then you will live only of God. Help me, Lord. I am weak in my natural self. Help me not to be all about what I am going through. Help me to turn to you before others.

Good Evening, It has been for the most part a great day. I got home from work and Mackenna was having fun with Alex. As I was saying goodbye to her one of Alex's school mates came over from across the street with siblings and mom and wondered if she could go to the game tonight with them. I allowed her to go and she used her allowance to go since I had no cash and I was going to spend the night with her but this left opportunity to talk to my sister privately about things and also my neighbor in Indiana was on facebook and we chatted for about a half hour. Don is still mowing my yard to keep it nice and they haven't seen anyone come by the house yet. I am liking it here other than missing people I love. I have decided to just delete the voicemails before listening to them for now so I can focus on God fully. Todays was one of the worst ones. I am feeling right now that I could care less if I have anymore contact with her rest of my life, but deep down I love her and she and her husband has done a lot to help Chris and I this past year. I can hear the announcer here at my house from the game and my doors and windows are closed. It reminds me of home because Northside did the same.

I got my Iowa license today for pharmacy in the mail. :) I am officially an Iowaian as far as work, have to wait a couple more weeks for drivers license and plates for cars.

I saw Sarah for a few moments today and she looked great. I kinda envy(good kind) her when she has makeup and dressy clothes on. Hope you had a great day, you deserve a great day.

Ok, since I am alone now I better get off and get my butt in gear. I am going to spend alone time with God and my bible study. Funny, I just wrote this and phone rings for cable. I need to say NO and I did. Then call waiting rang and it was mom.
