Kids say the darnedest things.

Not gonna lie, been starting to slip. When stress creeps in, I am tend to start to lose focus and get off track. Signs are more noticeable.  As I think more, my eating has not been what it should be.  Eating out more times than I should, not taking lunch to work.  I have also noticed my water consumption has declined and I skipped my workout on Friday.  In theory, I postponed it until I felt more up for the work out.  At least, that is what I am telling myself.
It's funny how God reminds me.  Earlier this week, I agreed to volunteer for the Children's Ministry at my church.  Today I was running late getting to church, so I was glad when I finally walked through the door.  On my way to put my bag and iced coffee on the counter one of the most darling little girls asked "Are you having a baby?".   " No, I'm just chunky", I said. That is when I thought, kids say the darnedest things. I couldn't even be upset. I look at it as a "kid friendly" reminder to focus. Later it help her request to go outside, I ended up tossing the football around with one of the other kids.

Two new recipes on my list to try:

                          (Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken)




I am BBQing for the Memorial Day Weekend. I have chicken marinating, will roast some corn on the cob, and made coleslaw.  I went the vegan option for ribs, since Morning Star was on sale. I try vegan options from time to time.  My life is by no means perfect, but when i tell you I am blessed. I make mistakes and I sin. I am human, who isn't. Despite all of me, there is a joy my Father, the king has put in my heart. That joy is His love.
