So tonight i will not only share about my reaching/working on of goals but some other things on my mind pertaining to my faith and other things alon that line! So I finished reading a book called Girl Meets God by Lauren F. Winner. It is hard for me to discribe the book, but the premise is a college age women who grew up jewish, converted to orthodox judaism, and then converts to christianity. The book takes you through a year in her life pretty much during her conversion to christianity. It is a really good read in my opinion. So that brings me to my off goal list topic for tonight. I have been stumbling with Christ lately-my fleshly wants have totally been taking over-wich is sin and I know it. I just really have a hard time getting back in the groove with Him and I guess i need to work on it. Kevin doesnt believe so that makes it hard. I really dont have him to turn to to pray with me or study the bible with. But also even though I have strayed from Christ, I do hear his callings on my heart and my selfish flesh kicks me in the butt for what I am being called to do. I feel I am being called to follow 1 Cor 11:1-16. Wich pretty much says that women are to wear a head covering when they pray or proficy. So this means church and private prayer time. The reason i feel my flesh is kickin my butt is because I am very nervous to do this even though Christ will be there with me. I would be the only one in church with a head covering, and I am sure I will be embarriesed. I need to pray this over more- but I am putting it in Christs hands-His will be done. Ok so off of todays topic of faith, I have decided that for every goal I complete I can (but dont have to) add a new goal. So today I am adding goal #102 Try 5 new foods. Ok so i guess i kinda cheated cause I tryed a new food today! yeah! I have been wanting for a while to try greek yogurt, I love the good ol american yogurt, I even love the austrailian creamy yogurt, but i do not think I like greek yogurt. I had decided spure of the moment to go to sendiks by us-we really didnt need food, but i havent been to one, so i thought id check it out. First off-this store rocks! The items seem pricey though-so if we do shop there it will end up being for stuff i cant get at a regular store-like my Austrailian yogurt! :) So my goal is to check out all the organic stuff - and oh man do they have lots! I was so tempted to buy some organic counter cleaner for $7, but then said to myself that my homemade vinager/water combo seems to work great. So then I checked out the dairy case and was surprised and excited to see some non american yogurts-like the stuff you can find at a nutrishional store. I was so happy! so i bought two greek yogurts, one strawberry and one pineapple. I ate the pineapple tonight. The best way to discribe it is like texture wise a mix between creamed cream cheese and sour cream. It is a little sourer than the american yogurt, but the texture really through me for a loop. The really good thing that this 6oz, 160 cal cup of yogurt has like 12g of protein-that is alot for a yogurt! I may just get more of this kind of yogurt because of the protein and just deal with the texture! So greek yogurt at sendiks was $1.70 for the money pinchers, and my ultimate yogurt treat was $1.06 per cup. (wallaby is the brand of australian yogurt I love :) ) Ok so onto other goals, my picture of the day is a little wonky!! I took a pic of my new shoes! Now anyone that knows me knows that I am always wearing tennis shoes unless I have to dress up! SO lately I have really been trying hard to find and inbetween shoe for my weird sized feet. My feet are wide and tall if that makes sence! I found these naturalizers the other day and LOVE them. They look great with jeans-wich is perfect since that is the other only thing i wear!! Now just to find them in brown...hmmm...gotta hunt em down!! Ok so tonights thankful item are the abilty to spend a day in a good book. Ok photos to follow! Good night!

oh man i stink at spelling!!
Tracy, I have so much to comment on about your blog post. I love it! I have been having my own battles w/religion too - but in a different way. I hear ya though! Also I tried Dannon's Greek Yogurt in Vanilla today - GAG! I did not like the texture at all. I have two more to eat in the fridge and will force-feed (ha ha) myself so they don't go to waste. Australian yogurt? Never heard of it, will have to look for it! And I LOVE naturalizers...that's the only brand of "work" shoe I find comfy...look for them in brown at Kohls - that's where I have had luck finding them.
BTW, I make my own homemade glass cleaner, duster and all purpose cleaner. Save yourself the $7!!!
Yeah I do the all purpose cleaner of 50/50 vinager water and that seems to work-but i was so tempted!! On the shoe front-actually i found em at famous footwear-and they can order the brown-i am just hemming and hawing at it-kevin will not like paying for more shoes! I agree the texture with the greek yogurt is weird-but i might just get over it cause the brand i bought claims to have about double what regular yogurt has. Wallaby is the brand of australian yogurt-usually at like an organics store-really fairly good. very similar to good ol american yogurt-just a bit more creamy. On the religion front yeah, I have really been trying to remember His will be done and to put it in his hands. So what is your religion battles?? blog it!!
