Today was Week One and Day One of Me, Myself and Lies.
I stated in the previous post that I joined up with the Ladies at Bible Cafe for Women for this summer study. We are also participating with Beth Moore’s LPM Summer Bible Study. Here is the Link to her video Kick-off. Every other Tuesday she will be updating where we are in the study. Over at the Bible Cafe will be working on this daily and weekly.
In Beth’s video today she wanted us to pick which dog breed we are and why. I had troubles with that because…..
-I am a cat….I just couldn’t think of a dog that I am like. Cats pick their owners, I pick God. They are independent but loving, I have no trouble relying on God and I try to always make sure that everyone else is cared for. Cats are self sufficient (you can leave them for a few days with no sitter), I can take care of myself. Cats Purr….I have been learning not to bark.
Beth also asked us to do a short prayer request (160 Characters or Less)…..
-Please pray for me, I struggle with sarcasm directed at my teenagers.
In the Workbook… That you can Order Here We walked through some verses and also answered so questions. From this we created a Thesaurus of words that described us. I was actually surprised by my thesaurus. It wasn’t as negative as I thought it would be. The Lord has really been working in me to stop tearing myself down. It is nice to see the improvement on paper. I really like the way Jennifer Rothschild has phrased this workbook. I can’t wait to see where it leads me! Any boost in self esteem or self worth is going to benefit my desire to bring people to Jesus.
Today’s pondering point is…
“Who I am and what I struggle with are not the same thing!!” -Jennifer Rothschild
What important words to remember.
It is never to late to join us!! I will keep you all posted on my progress. 
On Tuesday, the 23rd, there is a new Online Bible Study starting.
It is called Me, Myself & Lies …A thought closet makeover by Jennifer Rothschild.
Christine over at Bible Study Cafe for Women is our host. We will also be running parallel with Beth Moore’s Living Proof Ministries Summer Study.
So Grab the workbook and join us. You won’t be sorry!!
God Played Peek-a-Boo with me the other morning!
It Reminded me that He is ALWAYS there….
Even when I can’t see him He really is with me!
It is an Awesome Feeling.

He is Home Now!
Be careful what you say….
Someone may actually be listening.
This week we are suppose to write about ourselves in the third person. I have never done this before so forgive me if I am lame.
Theresa is a woman, wife, mom and a fraidy cat of spiders. She squeals for her husband to come and “Take Care” of them. She has been diligently learning patience with her teenagers.
Theresa is not a caregiver but has been acting like one for awhile now. She feels inadaquate at this role but continues to tackle it.
Theresa is highly organized. She drives her family and friends crazy when she has something to plan. Once all the details are in place she can relax and be fun.
Theresa most importantly loves the Lord. She spends time with him every day and tries to introduce him to all her friends.
Join us over at Hearts Reflections for more Third Person People!!

On a side note. I really want to thank you all for your prayers as we have been dealing with the loss of Mel. The kids are adjusting and Craig is painting (His chosen coping method) . I feel numb at times but happy for Mel. He is at peace and whole, up with our Heavenly Father.
We headed out of town this last weekend and went to see my Mom. This seemed to really take some of the gloom off us all. I will post about our trip and include some pictures soon.
Theresa loves you all!!!
