Late night ramblings!

Hey y'all! I am back...it's 11:47pm and I guess my body is starting to feel better and suddenly the shut down my brain has been in for the past three of four days has been lifted and my mind is going 90 to nothing! Soooooo that is good and not good! I have a ton of things to do as my niece bri is coming to stay with chad and I for the rest of the week ..oh and I am currently washing clothes because my LOVING fiance informed me "I would be fired " if I didn't wash clothes tonight..SERIOUSLY!! I lie not he really said he would fire me. hahah good thing I knew he was joking. Oh and than he tells me "your not allowed to get sick anymore" really now? hmmmm let me know how that works out for ya! MEN! 
So I am sitting in my office "THINKING" yes be scared be very scared! I have my emergen c packet out and ready to add to some water, I have had about two big glasses of green tea YUM! I can hear the tv as it's recording my shows that I will watch in a bit while I am folding the clothes and I am thinking about all the things I want to do for Christmas and need to do before Christmas. The list is long y'all I mean really really long! 
I am quite excited about some crafts I plan to make, and some other things I am putting into plan. Life is about change right??? I am working on changing things! It takes 21 days to break a habit....let's see if I can do it! 
I have got to get off here...I am just rambling anyway! 
See y'all!

Thur-Fiery chicken burgers and sweet potato fries

Tuesday-leftovers

Thursday-unsure

I know not the greatest menu but please forgive me ....I have been so sick i decided to go as easy as possible!


Now for the thought for the week and the verse for the week.

Thought for the week:

God has what we need. It is up to us to decide whether or not we're going to let the worst of us get the best of us. ---Beth Moore (so long insecurity)

Verse:
Psalm 20:1
May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble, may the God of Jacob make you secure! (NET version)

KJV says : The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of God of Jacob defend thee.


OK y'all there you go!
I am going back to lay down..
Love and hugs,
Francine

chad





I can think of thousands of things to blog about BUT tonight I decided to talk about my fiance! Whenever somebody falls in love you always hear "he is the greatest thing ever" or "the love of my life" or such as that. I will save you those little sappy sayings but I will say this. In all  my life and of all the men that have passed through my life none can compare to this man right here! I am blessed that God saw fit to put him in my life and give me a reason to pick myself up and move on! I do not always understand why things happen the way they do BUT I am assured that he DOES always have a plan!
 I so loved his plan this time! I so love this man! 






                                                                   Love and Hugs,
                                                                       Francine

Quote of the week and verse of the week!

Quote: 
"Life is rough. It's also beautiful, but if we can't get some respite( rest or brief break) from its cruelty, we will never have the healthy vision to savor its tender beauty" ..........Beth Moore From the book "So long insecurity"




Verse: 
Isaiah 46: 4
Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair turned gray, I will take care of you. I made you and will take care of you. I will carry you and save you. 


what a blessing!!! 
Love and hugs, 
Francine

I am back for GOOD this time :0)

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend and a great start to your work week. I want to apologize in advance as I have been missing in action for a while. Life, that is all I can say is just that LIFE.....As ashamed as I am I just have been to caught up in it to stop and write BUT I really enjoy sharing my thoughts with those few who read it so I decided to come back and start back at it..I have a lot to blog about and a lot to just record so I don't forget things later down the road. So in order to do that I kind came up with a schedule for my blog just a little "theme" per say that I can kinda stick to and on certain days know and prepare a little in advance for what I will be sharing. This is what I am thinking...
Monday's-Will be my weekly menu schedule with a link to my health blog for any recipes I plan to use. Other than that just free rambling which I do SO WELL! LOL 
Tuesday- will be my quote of the week and verse of the week. I love this idea as it will help me to dive deeper in God's word and really search for things to share with you. I am NOT taking the easy way out on this I am going to be searching as I am doing my bible study. 
Wed-no plans as of now just whatever crosses my mind....that could be scary folks..just warning you! 
Thursday-Photo/no words of the day...other than a brief explanation of the photo. 
Friday-I will be talking about another blog that has touched me in some way and sharing there link with you so you can check them out as well as just sharing. 
Saturday-No plans open
Sunday- will be a recap of the weekend 


So that is what I am thinking..I believe this will help me because it kinda gives me a lean towards something and helps me round up my thoughts so I actually know what I am talking about. HAHAH! Organization. 
You know I thought "Capricorns" were suppose to be organized and stubborn I totally get the stubborn but what the heck????? Where did my organization go lately? All I have to say is whoever stole it needs to give it back NOW! Just sayin.....


So this is Mondays and here is my Weekly menu: 
Monday- Shrimp Greek salad (chad is off this is subject to change)
Tuesday- Chicken Breast Stuffed Parmesan and spinach chicken. 
Wed- Greek baked shrimp with feta
Thursday- Herb marinated chicken and roasted vegetables
Friday- Greek Burgers

***I just noticed a theme here Greek...oh well we are on the Sonoma Diet so we eat a lot of foods like that***


The link for these recipes will be posted tomorrow as I need to go over there after this and do some work on that blog but I will get it done tonight. You have my word. 

OK, now onto another subject I found this really neat thing on Pinterest YES I AM AN ADDICT...anyone else ?? Come on you know you love that site.... Anyway I wanted to share it simply because I thought just as I received a lot from it many of you might as well. 

Stressed????
Jeremiah 29:11 
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, Thoughts of Peace, and NOT of EVIL,To give you an expected end. 


Proverbs 29:11
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it till afterwards. 


Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. 


Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath.


Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be pt away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 


Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal.But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also. 


Romans 8:28
For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. 


Hebrews 12:6
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he recieveth. 


Ok so there is you some food for thought... Hope you all have a blessed night! 
Love and hugs
