Oh Happy Day.......

Ok so its a new year and I am pumped.
I didn't make a new years resolution this year,
Because last year I failed miserably. No Internet for one day each week! Ha. I know right. Who was I kidding. sigh. But today January 9th I have come up with FOUR new year resolutions.

1.) Eat healthy.
2.) Find a church home.
3.) Soak up every moment that I have with Bonnie Kayte & take as many pictures of & with her as I possibly can.
4.) write more personal blogs.

*******

moving on...

Last Monday the 3rd I started the SLIM FAST diet. 

I drink a shake for breakfast, lunch, and then at dinner I am suppose to be eating a 500 calorie meal.

So daily I take in from 500-780 calories. Not too shabby. anyhow. I have really enjoyed it. 1.) I have saved

a ridiculous amount of money not eating out and 2.) eating out everyday and every meal just wasn't good for me in general so I feel really good. Crazy what NO COKE and NO FAST FOOD can do for you. ;)

anyhow throughout this past week being that I have really enjoyed the diet, and am so ready for the end results.

Nevertheless... this past Wedensday I was asked by a very special friend of mine to attend church with him on Sunday (today) and I said "Ok. Sounds good. Itsa deal", So here I am, sitting on the couch while my little girl naps and I am just so very thankful that Joseph invited me to church today. Very good word this morning & on top  of that... I needed to hear every word. ;) Surprised? Not at all. "Never loose the wonder of our Lord"

Majority of the church is participating in "The Daniel Fast"... What is "The Daniel Fast" you ask, it is a very healthy way to eat and is full of nutritious  and healthy foods. That consist of ALL FRUITS, ALL VEGGIES, ALL WHOLE GRAINS, ALL NUTS AND SEEDS, ALL LEGMES (dried beans, pinto beans etc.), ALL QUALITY OILS, BEVERAGES:  SPRING WATER:DISTILLED WATER OR OTHER PURE WATERS. 

-Anyhow, when I heard this I thought it was really neat that I had started the Slim Fast diet last monday and could totally relate to some of the things mentioned during service (mind you my diet isn't anything to compare to "The Daniel Fast" I have to say...its pretty hardcore) -as the service went on... like I was saying so many things were mentioned that I could relate to..such as... While on this diet or any other diet we tend to try and

find ways to include food that can NOT be part of the diet..which in another perspective reflects on us justifying our sin. It's so crazy that we humans tend to do  that so often, we try and justify the bad things we do to seem somewhat good and we do whatever we can to talk ourselves and others into believing something that is not right, but so very wrong. I can almost definitely say to that statement that I am GUILTY to doing that. everyone is. That is if we are all being truthful. just sayin...

That being said... that was just one of the cool things that caught my attention during this mornings service. Dieting and incorporating it into your daily life,  spiritually and physically. So tomorrow. Monday the 10th. I am going to join the other 100 people in The Daniel Fast these next 14 to 15 days and I am so excited 

to see what God is going to speak to me throu my time of fasting & throu prayer. During these next few weeks I will open my eyes and heart to what God wants and not what Malorie wants. 

No more, "I'm waiting for change" "I'm waiting for healing" "I'm waiting for God to intervene", I AM simply claiming all of it, change, healing, and for him to intervene. 

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight".

-I'm pumped. ;)

*God desires to set us free from things that have bound or restrained us.

*God desires that we share his greatness with others.

*God desires bringing healing into our lives.

Amen.

Oh how I've missed this.......

Ok so I have seriously missed blogging. makes my heart hurt just thinking about how I have got so caught up with my crazzzyy on the GO all the TIME life that I have stopped doing something I love to do. like BLOGGING...and ummm eating a BOWL OF CEREAL everyday. (if you know me, you know that I LOVE cereal and for me not to eat it on a daily basis just isn't right!! sigh) Ok now that I have vented a little. I am going to start off with.........

WHAT'S IN YOUR PURSE!!

(I actually stopped carrying a purse for about 8 months (i know, weird right) but have recently started carrying one again.) here it goes....

(OH AND INCASE YOU FORGOT....CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.)

****************

Purse: Coach. Poppy Collection. So last freakin season. No Big Deal. ;)

*wallet
*2 bottles of water. (WHY?)
*Crackers. (Really?)
*WINT-O-GREEN MINTS (my fav.)
*Phone Charger.
*My Phone
*PiNky (iPod)
*BabiesRus little thing.
*Eye Drops (stupid pink eye)
*2 Purell bottles
*6 Purell sanitizing hand wipes from Chick-fil-a (you get my vibe)
*Retainer case
*Special K Cereal Bar (ONLY 90 yummy calories ;))
*4 pens
*Black Make up bag.
*PiNK Gel watch (thank you Devin)
*My liscense
*Debit Card
*Hair Clip
*Cough Drops
*Coin purse (little tan one)
*Twizzers
***********************

being that I hadn't carried a purse in 8 months...I wonder where all this junk was when I wasn't carrying it. I haven't a clue. Believe it or NOT. (The picture below) was what I carried for the 8 months that I didn't carry a purse. And its perfect. Its can hold my chapstick, my ID, my keys are attached to it so i dont have to DIG in a purse (UGHHHH hate that) and it can carry my debit card also. I may go back to carrying just IT. sigh. we will see. 

**************

 well that was fun. SoooOO What's in your purse??

Hope everyone has had a good year so far.
& I seriously promise to BLOG more.
(if your a new reader of my blog I highly encourage you to go back on my blog archive and read them when you are bored, and too...so you will know what I am talking about half the time. and just so you can learn a little more about me. ;))

Until next time.

Homegirl use to do everything with me, and go everywhere with me, literally (school, church, random car rides, the lake..you get the picture) and somewhere in my crazy life I stopped lovin on her and taking her places with me. ;(

(you get my vibe....she was my best friend. ;))

(we are off to a good start this year. she still woves her momma. ;))

"What is something you have recently prayed about that God has answered?"
-Recently, I had been praying about a specific person who was in my life. I definitely believe that God places people in your life for "seasons"...but anyhow. I felt at the time that this person wasn't exactly helping me as a person or in my walk with God and I just asked God to open my eyes and heart and show me his will for me and my life and if this person needed to be in it or not. The specific person was actually removed from my life....and I'm ok with that. I am very thankful that I do not have to lean on my own understandings & that I have a Savior who has a love for me that is an unfailing love. amen.
