Precious Memories: August 2009

Today is a beautiful day.It is not very hot.Wondering what to cook tonight.Last night I had fish,green beans,and my watermelon.I finally got one.It was very good.I have done my exercising today.I am still on my diet.I have a long ways to go but God is with me.I have been going thought magazines and Internet trying to find foods that are quick and easy and good for watching weight.But when dieting you have to be careful because there are so many hidden ingredients like sugars,fats,flour,and on goes the list.I have posted some recipes on my cooking blog.I know the peanut butter pie is full of fat,but it is so good.I used to make them some.The recipe came from a friend who has now gone to be with the Lord. She was a very good cook.The Smoothies I have on there are not too bad on a diet if you use skim milk,the low fat yogurt with not too much sugar.Seems like all yogurt has some sugar.The fruits are healthy.My daughter and me made the strawberry banana smoothie last night.It was very good on a summer night.I was talking about sugars,you really have to be careful some foods are loaded with sugars even when they say fat free which that part is good.I do not buy sweets for myself,that is my weakness.Chocolate is really one of my favorites.So when you are shopping for groceries be sure and look at the labels.It takes time but it is worth it in the long run.We like to grill,if anyone has any good grilling recipes send them my way or any good recipes not just grilling.I know there are many good cooks out there in blogging land.Thanks.

Prayer Request:
As you know my husband has been layed off from his job.He has been on several interviews with no luck.Next week we will be traveling to Tenn.for a interview that he has.Please keep us in your prayers.This is a very difficult decision to make.We would be leaving family and friends we love dearly if he accepts the job.We are praying for God's will to be done wherever he may lead us.If anyone out there has ever had to transfer which I know there are many,please write me and give me some advice on what to expect or feelings you may have had.I am open to all advice.We have always lived in N.C.Let us also remember all the people around us who is going through the same situation.I know that there might be someone who may need advice too besides me.Let's all pray together for each other that God will meet all the needs around us.Even through the battles we are blessed.Have a great day.
