You might think my last blog post is grim - it ain't. Cause I didn't age, I'm like, I'm 20 still. I can "start over" Psalm 103:5 "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.".......................
Psalm 37:24-26 "Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed."
I have had "bad times" but sheesh the rebounds I've had over the years. Not once but 2 times I was starving without food............
when my dad got laid off at the paper mill, we were eating 1 meal a day often that went on for a whole year
and when I worked at the newspaper and buisiness slowed down in the summer and I was only being paid sometimes $600 a month or so and I wasn't able but to pay rent and sometimes buy $20 of groceries for the month - that went on around 6 months - then I left that job (and they refused to give me a good reference post my quitting, which isn't fair since how THEY ONLY PAID ME $8 A HOUR AFTER COLLEGE FULLY GETTTING MY COLLEGE DEGREE AND CAUSED ME TO BE STARVING FOR 6 MONTHS) I felt bad leaving them, they were mad at me cause I left them when their buisy time was..........but I don't feel bad anymore............I HAD TO LEAVE CAUSE COME FEBRUARY THE PAY AND HOURS THEY NEEDED ME TO WORK DROPPED SOMETIMES 2-3 HOURS A DAY.....................well nobody can live off of that little pay. And it was a small town without many jobs available at least when I was there there weren't many jobs available at all. And besides that.................they had me on call the whole day...............so how would I been able to get a job and be "on call" all day????????? --------- that whole scenario wasn't fair.
but I rebounded.
All that never took me out.
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
I not only lost a lot of weight "weighted hula hooping" I do feel and LOOK younger. I ain't going to say being overweight ages everyone, but it did age me.
Song of Solomon 2:3-4 "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."
