Cheating and.... THE JOURNEY AND DREAM...

So... Friday, yesterday was a bit of a poo-poo day. Started out good! I actually woke up and did my work-out.... so it was the SECOND day in a row that I worked out early!! That was cool. I like it! But, then from there, I think it was my job that got me in a weird mood.... had a lot of servicing issues that were a bit frustrating.... 

...so then, when I got home, Tyler and I ate dinner. That was yummy...well... I was very "blasee" so.... we went on a "date" but no good movies or anything out, so we went to Starbucks to chat for awhile.... I just wanted something sweet.... so, I had a rice crispie. It was yummy, and 100 calories which was suprising. Then...had 2 squares of a chocolate hershey bar, then had a bowl of popcorn. So I kinda cheated 3 times!! --- But, since I'm on a 1200 calorie nutrition, I still probably ended up around maybe 1400-1500.... that makes me kinda feel justified a bit more.

I'm ok with that. It was just one of those days and I don't plan on making it a habit!

My GHD Program is going well. I had a REALLY good LONG time in the Word and with the Lord today. That was good!! Read a lot about Joseph and his journey. I really got a lot of REVELATIONS out of that! Do you know from the time that he received his DREAM at age 17, it took 22 YEARS for him to see his full dream come to fruition!! He was 39 when his brothers and family came to Egypt and "bowed" down before him.... and he revealed himself as their brother. 22 YEARS! He went through being sold into slavery, being wrongfully accused by Potiphar's wife, thrown into STATE prison spending 2-3 years there, until FINALLY he was elevated by Pharoah to be Governor over ALL of Egypt, 2nd ONLY to Pharoah. This all took 13 years. Then it was STILL 9 years until his dream was realized and his family came to seek food and provision in the famine. 22 YEARS in all to realize his dream!! A great realization for me. I know God has GREAT plans for Tyler and I.... things haven't gone quite as I would have "written" them out, or planned... but Joseph's story encouraged me. Then it goes on to say that the last 5 years of the famine, he PROVIDED for ALL of his family and gave them the BEST of the Land in Goshen! THE BEST! He gave his family THE BEST! He was true to his dream! 

We are sticking to the plan. God is preparing us, and I am excited, like Joseph to have FAVOR in every stage of our Journey, in the end to be able to give the BEST to ALL of our family!
