Do Your Best

But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father—[it is] Jesus Christ . . . And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
—1 John 2:1-2
You are responsible to people, but God has not made you responsible for their joy. You may have children, or siblings, or a spouse God has given you to love and nurture who seem uninterested in your testimony. Some people just refuse to be happy, so don’t let them steal your joy.
You cannot fix anyone, and you shouldn’t take the blame for everything that goes wrong in someone else’s life. Obviously, you cannot make everybody you know believe in Jesus. But you can get up every day and do your best, and then trust God for the rest

Another good one! A great reminder not to let other’s steal our joy, ’cause there ARE people like that.
We had some excitement here and not the good kind. Ted said there was a shooting last nite just down the street at out favorite chinese restaurant!
And then, there was this suspicious looking guy wandering around outside this morning looking hihg on something, he was looking in all the cars and knocking on doors just looking all tweaked out!
So Ted had me call and report it, so I did.
Well, still maintaining. I am gonna try some of the advice I have seen on plateaus, really gonna be a stickler on the calories.
Good luck to all the weight loss teams!
Well, I gotta go post, will come back later and read blogs, love you all!

Good morning Kama!!!! Wow make sureyou be careful. I saw your pics and they are absolutely wonderful….you look amazing. What an inspiration.
Girl, you better lose those last couple of pounds. Whatcha waitin’ for?
It is easy to let others steal our joy…and I know Im responsible for pulling others down as well…thanks for sharing the devotional Kama.
And watch yourself out there..be careful!
Hey, Kama, be careful. Do they know who did the shooting yet? I know you are used to different kind of folks, living in an urban area, but I still worry about you. You are one tough cookie, however, so I imagine you can take care of yourself
Maybe this focus on you will take your mind off of the things going on in your neighborhood.
Love to you,
Tammy
Kama, I think you did the right thing by reporting it. and as for letting people still your joy…That is a good one. It is so easy to get in a bad mood when someone else around you is in one. I have learned to just stay away of them . We cnoose what kind of behavior we have . With Gods help, I am pretty much always happy. and if I am having a bad day then God always sends someone to help me.
Keep up the great work on your weight.Those last pounds will come off. I was told once if you just stop everything for about 5 days then start back up it is like a jump start. Who knows maybe you should try it…..
Be safe Kama….thanks for adding me as your buddy.
