Broken Caffeine Addiction!

I did it!

Hallelujah!

I broke my caffeine addiction!

On Friday of last week I ran out of Mountain Dew.  So, on Saturday there was no caffeine to be had.  I felt like it was a sign.  It was a sign that it was time to give it up. 

And besides, it was hot outside, which meant that it would be hot in my car, which meant I would be halfway to the gas station before it got cool.  And me being one who has become a lover of air conditioning and ceiling fans, decided that maybe I could be tough enough to withstand a few headachs.

But I didn't get a headach.

I went to sleep instead.

I know, that's lazy of me.

But I didn't get a headach.  And those of you who know me, know that when I get a headach it's usually a killer.  So, when I felt the headach coming on I just laid down and took a nap!

I already feel healthier!

I can even talk about it now without salivating!

Uh oh!  I'm thirsty, I better go get a glass of water.

Water, Yummy!

I am still here!

Ok, so I didn't forget about you, I have just had a whirl wind week.

1. I'm Caffeine free! (and no headaches)
2. I took dinner to the field twice!
3. I'm making stuff for the craft fair.  (I may regret that wild hair.)
4. I'm doing P90X every morning.
5. We're putting down anhydrous.  I'm using we very loosely
6. I gave the dog a bath.
7. I swept the floors.  (seems to never make a difference because as soon as I finish someone comes in and the wind blows the dirt back!)

I can keep going with this, but I think you get the picture

Love Amy

Cool Video

My husband LB is a Farmer.

Which should explain why I chose Farm Girl...

But, he is also the Vice President of one of our Local Banks.  And last week he had a commercial made for our town website.

 I thought I might share the video with you:  First National Bank & Trust.  (That's LB in the Blue and White Polo shirt)

Enjoy!

Sunday Sermon

When I was a little girl, my mother had me memorize this particular verse:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  - Philippians 4:8 KJV

Well, it's been on my mind lately and I've been trying to recommit it to memory.  (I started this even before what I'm getting ready to share with you.)

A couple of weeks ago, our preacher preached a message called thinking "God Thoughts".  That message definitely spoke to me, especially since I'd been going over this verse again.  I've been trying harder than ever to keep this verse on my mind and control my thoughts.  And I just wanted to share a few notes from the sermon with you.

Reference Verses:

     2 Corinthians 10 :  3 - 5

     Isaiah 55 : 9

*If we control our thoughts we will handle situations differently, we will understand how to pray more effectively, & our priorities will become clearer.

*Genesis 45 - Look how Joseph handled the situation with his brothers.  If he hadn't had good thoughts he would not have been able to tell his brothers what he told them.

I challenge all of you guys to pay more attention to what you think, listen to, read etc...  And see if you can start finding the good in everything.

Your Farm Friend

Amy

Wouldn't it be nice if we could give without remembering,

and receive without forgetting?
