Stepping Up!

I call on the LORD in my distress,
and He answers me.
Save me, O LORD, from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.
What will he do to you,
and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?
He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom tree.
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
I am a man of peace;
but when I speak, they are for war
Psalm 120

I started a new Beth Moore study last night at the 'new' church with my neighbor Cheryl (Connor's mommy!). The study is called Stepping Up and is based on the Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134). This is only a 6 week study but will run over the course of 12 weeks and we meet every other Thursday, not EVERY week. I'm looking forward to doing this because I think it will help me meet some other ladies in a church I feel like I don't belong in yet!

I can't believe I haven't posted since Tuesday, this week sure went by fast. I'm already looking forward to a 3 day weekend. Not that we have anything planned mind you. It will be like most other weekends, just relaxing around the house. Actually not so much relaxing this weekend because I am planning on painting my bathroom! I hope to get the paint today and prep the room ready to start tomorrow. I'll try to take before and after pics.

Darylynn asked a good question the other day "does Kristen like/eat all the meals I had planned this week"? Ha ha, well she is getting better at trying new things but I have to admit that she doesn't like most of them. She ate the spaghetti on Monday but would pick out the bacon and mushrooms. On Tuesday she tried to tell me she didn't like the chicken, but she's had it before so I made her eat it! Wednesday, she at least tried the goulash (which turned out verywell I might add and Jason and I both liked it) but she didn't like it so I gave her 'Beefaroni' :-/And I knew she wouldn't like the bbq chicken last night, so Jason made her mac and cheese and green beans after I'd gone to bible study. Tonight I think I'm going to do the quesadillas as I don't have the orange juice in to marinade the chicken. I'll get that today and do honey glazed chicken tomorrow.

OK, need to get some more organizing done around here. Have a great weekend, and HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Hi Denise,
You aren't the only one painting. I have been painting the master bedroom. I picked out two colors of green for the room. Today I will hopefully finish it... Happy Birthday to me (my gift to me) HUGS

HI Denise! I hope you enjoy the study. Six weeks is a good length for a bible study. Most of the ones I get involved with seem to never end and I don't have a very long attention span, unfortunately :( Have a nice long weekend even if you don't do anything fun. I'm not sure what we are doing either. Big hugs! xx

Hi Denise! I'm sure you'll make some nice friends thru your bible study. :)

Hope you got your bathroom painted.

Justin was my fussy eater so he'd have his own meals while the rest of us ate what I had fixed.

Very worried about Joan and Elizabeth's homes but I know that at least, they are safe.
