Psalm 136
iFellowship

I am so thankful for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I felt like sharing with your again Psalm 136. Thank you God for sending Your son to die on the cross to save a poor wretched soul as I.

Happy iFellowship Day!
Psalm 136
Thanksgiving to God for His Enduring Mercy
1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
4 To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
7 To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
8 The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
9 The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.
10 To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn,
For His mercy endures forever;
11 And brought out Israel from among them,
For His mercy endures forever;
12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm,
For His mercy endures forever;
13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in two,
For His mercy endures forever;
14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it,
For His mercy endures forever;
15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea,
For His mercy endures forever;
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness,
For His mercy endures forever;
17 To Him who struck down great kings,
For His mercy endures forever;
18 And slew famous kings,
For His mercy endures forever—
19 Sihon king of the Amorites,
For His mercy endures forever;
20 And Og king of Bashan,
For His mercy endures forever—
21 And gave their land as a heritage,
For His mercy endures forever;
22 A heritage to Israel His servant,
For His mercy endures forever.
23 Who remembered us in our lowly state,
For His mercy endures forever;
24 And rescued us from our enemies,
For His mercy endures forever;
25 Who gives food to all flesh,
For His mercy endures forever.
26 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven!
For His mercy endures forever.

Weight Loss Challenge

Weight Loss Challenge

How has the 15 pound Christmas Challenge gone? Not so great with me. I seem to be up and down with a few pounds. I just can’t seem to get pass a certain weight. It is really irritating, and I know I am doing something wrong.

I have been very good about drinking my water daily. Really, that is all I drink around our house. I rarely make tea or Kool-Aid for the kids. Our choices are slim with just milk or water. On occasion, since it is cooler weather, we will have hot chocolate.

I have also been doing okay watching my portion control. Making sure that I get smaller amounts of the carbohydrates or fatty foods. I try to make sure that I eat plenty of my veggies and fruits.

The area I am lacking in is the exercising section. I have good intentions of getting in a walk and something will come up. No matter the time or day. I am going to do my best to make it a priority to get that walking in. I also need to add some toning in there as well.

It is going to be a challenge since Thanksgiving is a week and a half away. Then we will only be a month away from Christmas. Time is quickly moving, so I need to get moving as well.

So I am back to 220. I would really love to lose that 15 lbs by Christmas with my friends. Back to counting calories, drinking my water and yes, I am going to get in my walks. Next week, there will be a loss of weight on my part. I know I can do this.
