Ezekiel 16:10-13

"I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. "I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck. "I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. "Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

Clothing...Hmm!

Starting to plan for next school year...

Currently looking for better resources for Social Studies. Last year I just used my old resources the best I could but this year I want to get resources that are more aligned to the new standards.
I did find this website on ksde : https://www.kshs.org/p/read-kansas-intermediate-lessons/15533
It is very helpful because it has the new cards that I don't have.

So I have been stalking teacher blogs. They rock!
Here are some of my favorites.

Summer

Here is the start to a new summer...well it actually started May 21st but I just found my blog page again...so starting at this point in the summer.

Made to Crave

As I read this old blog entry... I realize I have no changes since this post. I had great intentions but they fell by the wayside. So I thinking about how to get started again.

I have been turning a circle like a three legged dog. I have been battling my weight since my first pregnancy. This last Sunday at church our pastor delivered a message about "Sloth", one of the seven deadly sins. In that message he mentioned not taking care of priorities. I am the queen of taking care of everyone and everything so I figured he wasn't talking about me, until he used his recent weight loss as an example. That day I prayed that I would start eating right from that day on. I prayed for God's hand to be upon me as I went through this journey. After church I was determined to start eating right and paying attention to what I was putting in my mouth. I thought I was doing pretty good. I hadn't had a soda or sugary pastry in several days. It wasn't until I threw my McDonald's bag in the trash after "dinner" that I realized I am still so far from my goal. FAILURE!

Out of desperation I went on the internet and found madetocrave.org. That's how I realized my food cravings had built a giant wall between me and God. I have been craving food more than I have been craving my relationship with God. I didn't even realize this was happening. It has been a "slow fade" to my defeat. I worry more about what I am going to eat, am eating, and did eat then my spending time in God's word. It seems to me that God has directed me to my solution...time to re-calibrate my soul!
