And the rain, rain, rain came down, down down...

...quoted from Winnie the Poo, FYI.

AGH So I am feeling the urge to blog since it has been over a week. THIS is why I was so hesitant to blog. Becuase, for some reason, I feel pressured to post so that the whole two people who read this will have something to read.

Anyways, school started "fully" this past Monday, our first full week, and then on Wednesday, school was cancelled due to good ole Tropical Storm Fay. YAY! That is a great perk of being a teacher. But, now I am bored. Scott left to go to Orlando for his new job on Wed. so I have been at my parents' house since then, just becuase I didnt want to be alone in the storm, considering the continuous Tornado Warnings. I was going to go home tonight, but the lull that I thought was in the storm turned into more warnings. So, here I am.

However, it has been a lot of fun hanging out with the family. We have played games, played in the rain, watched countless movies, and made gross pancakes and good muffins. Kayla cooked the muffins, go figure. I think they have enjoyed it, too. Rigby is going nuts, I think she is ready to go home and pee without having to be dried off everytime she comes in. She does NOT like being dried off. Actually, there isnt much she does like that has to do with me thinking it is a necessity. For those of you who heard of the nail-clipping fiasco, this comes as no surprise. But she is getting her stitches out and nails clipped tomorrow. Ha, ha, Rigby!

Thanks for your prayers concerning Scott's travel and my being solo. As I think I posted before, I have scary panic attacks at night and have been fearful Scott's absence. The first night was rough, but it has gotten better. BUT I havent done it alone, yet, so tomorrow night will be the true test. Isaiah 40 has been on my heart continuously, so please pray it for me, that I would rely on the Lord, the Creator's, strength. Its posted below.

Weight loss. HA! Whats that?! The past two weeks have been rough. I forgot to weigh on Monday, and I never weigh in the middle so I am waiting til Monday to weigh-in, but I know it will be a disaster. I have been stress-eating and doing no excercise (Thanks, Fay!) so pray that I would be conscience of my eating. I feel like I am letting all of my sponsors, and myself, down. So those of you who read and are sponsors, please dont give up on me yet. :)

Hmmmm I think that is a good summation of the week. Rain, stress, puppy stuff, being big and trying to rely on the Lord, the Creator of the Earth as my supply and my portion. Please pray the verses below for me; they have popping up EVERYWHERE recently: in different bible studies, church services, and even in a fictional book I just read. Funny how God reveals certain verses to us. Almost like it was on purpose. :)

Isaiah 40:28-31

Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he
increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and grow weary,
and young men shall fall exhauted;
but they who wait for the LORD shall
renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shal run and not grow weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
