Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Still Counting

Well, the scales showed another loss of 1.4 lbs from yesterday!  I'll take it!  :D

It has been a very busy day!  Cleaning, laundry, cooking, revival, groceries, walking.............Tim has been sick and didn't even go to church last night due to running a fever.  When he gets a cold, he seems to always run a fever.  Then it breaks and he immediately begins to get better!  His voice was 90% better today!  He felt well enough to go walking with me!  :D

While walking yesterday, I lost count of my laps, but thought I had "recovered" but today's walk proved that what I thought I walked yesterday was actually a lap short!  So instead of walking 2 miles in half an hour I walked 1 2/3 miles.  I know this because we did the same pace today.  So instead of walking 4 mph yesterday I did 3 mph.  Same for today.  That's ok!  I'll take it!  :D

I'm trying very hard to watch what I eat!  But, I'm dreading the church dinner tomorrow!  It will be so hard to resist all that good food!

And I have decided that on Monday I will start up the Military diet again and I plan to make substitutions where I want this time around and see what effect it has on the results of the weight loss.

Have a blessed Sunday!
