Weighty Matters: I've cut back a bit and have kinda watched my eating but the scale hasn't budged. When I was younger that would have been enough to shed a few pounds. Not so anymore. I started exercising a little - some stretching and strength exercises. Oh was I sore earlier this week! Feeling better now so I should probably up the intensity.
Moving Along: Still at a stand still. All we need is a place to rent. Sounds so easy, but turns out it is not.
Lent: I like the Lutheran Hour Ministries devotion this year. Seems to be just what I need to hear. Putting my measly problems in perspective.
On My Needles: I need to finish my second sock! It is starting to get warm out and if I am to get any use from them this year I need to get it done.
Book: Still reading O Pioneers! Almost done. I went on pioneer story binge a few years ago and I should have read this then, I'm not as into it now. But it is still a good read. Not sure what I'm going to read next. Maybe some non-fiction.
Out My Window: Melting snow. Saw a flock of geese and a bald eagle this week. There must be some open water nearby. Maybe the Mississippi has broke up a bit. Colder air this weekend and snow expected next week. Not done with winter yet.
In the Kitchen: Dinner tonight was stuffed shells, garlic bread and salad. Dee-Lish! No wonder I'm not losing weight. ;-)
Prayers: For my kids, for my husband who is traveling internationally, for my in-laws health problems. Praying for the families of those aboard that missing plane - how scary! Praying for the protection of the unborn. Praying for our church. Thanksgiving for milder weather, a home and food, and a Savior who rescued me even though I don't deserve it. Praying for those who are homeless and hungry and those who haven't heard the Gospel. Amen.

Journal Entry #11
Moving On: Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. House is still for sale. Still haven't found a suitable rental in AZ. As soon as we find an AZ home things will get VERY busy here, VERY fast. Until then, I wait. I am tired of waiting.
Out My Window: Weather has improved. It's been above zero for 3 days! I think it got above freezing today! I saw a Robin on Wednesday. Spring is here!
Lent: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:6-7
Last year during Lent & Easter my brother was dying and I was praying daily for him. It all happened so fast. He was diagnosed with cancer in February and died in June. Looking back to last spring all I see is grief. I don't remember Lent or Easter at all.
Next year I'll look back and see the chaos of moving a family of 6 across country, I hope.
Kitchen: Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
