God does not want your plate even full. He wants some space all-around it, left - open. But, how? Wish I had THOSE answers, myself! But, daily I do pray, LORD, help me have a desire to do what you've put before me and not wish to be doing things that others' are! HE has us just where He wants us! Thankfully, we can know that His ways are perfect.<br /><br />Prayer's coming your way! :)<br />LoriLorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-43205153297627188112010-02-23T05:45:07.072-08:002010-02-23T05:45:07.072-08:00Hey, sweet friend!

Every once in a while I just have to have some chocolate. I use to eat a 3 Muskeeter every day - for about two years. Now I'm watching my diet trying to lose weight to try and keep my cholesterol down. I have come down 2 sizes in my outfits.<br /><br /><br />You are a very special person and I'm so glad we met here in what they call blogland.<br />Blessings,<br />AliceE.From the Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612517670775886165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-28342028727181355992010-02-22T15:27:46.234-08:002010-02-22T15:27:46.234-08:00I love the meal plate analogy.

I've not done it lately though.

Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in obligations or that I'll never get another second to rest even though I'm so tired I don't know how I'm standing. Jesus said that His yolk is easy and His burden is light. So go to Him when you are weary and heavy-laiden and He will give you rest. <br /><br />Hang in there and PLEASE give me some of what's on your plate! I want to help you out! And also remember that little word that can give you some time to "digest your food"; 'No.' It's hard for me to say, but I'm learning that sometimes it's necessary for the sake of me and my family and most importantly, my relationship with my Savior!
