My aunt says that she is moving out in about two months. She can't find a job around here anywhere. If she will move out her belongings, which she says she is going to do, then if I can get my things out of storage, maybe I could begin to feel at home here. I have always wanted a home, but I have never felt that sense of home before. If it is true that she is moving, I am glad I have the bike laid away. It will be my only means of transportation. We live in a really central location. A lot of stores, restaurants, and amenities are within biking distance. Maybe if I am careful I can afford to live here. The utilities are high. I am just leaning on Christ, trusting in his goodness.

I prayed fervently about my anger problem, being angry all the time. It has been about a week since I have felt angry. I have felt angry a few times, but just normal angry, nothing that endures. I used to be in an angry mood all the time and the Lord delivered me. Thank the Lord!

I have an anger problem. I seem to need to forgive my mother. It seems the Lord showed me to just eat one meal a day, dinner, and the rest of the time drink water. I know it makes sense, since I want to get rid of this huge gut, and God does not really want people to be grossly overweight -- temperate in all things.

It has been a while since I have posted. I have had several victories and several defeats I guess. First the bad. I got into a heated argument with my aunt, and I used at least two curse words during the argument towards her. I still have hate and I think maybe covetousness in my heart. I have been praying for my aunt and other family members, believing God will help me and give me love for my enemies.
I went to get my things out of my car, and turn the plates in. The car was sitting in a junkyard by the car repair place. It wasn't with the cars they were still working on but had been put aside. I went ahead and got everything out of the car, and went and turned my tag in. I layed away a bike. It is a Giant brand, Revive model. It is expensive but something even a fat person can ride. It is a comfort bicycle. You don't have to bend over to ride it, but you sit upright. I am having a hard time in a way, accepting a bike as my means of transportation, but it is a victory in one way also because I am trusting the Lord about it.
I had a good time fellowshipping with some saints in Asheville a few weeks ago. We talked about some things that had been bothering us about our former church, and also sang. I sang, "More Than Wonderful." It was a really nice day. No one seemed to like my potato salad, though. Oh well.
