Greater Power to Resist Sweets. 31 August 2016

During my talk with my Sweetheart this morning I shared that although I am not craving sweets like I used to, I have a hard time resisting when the sweets are right in front of me. [I could be a poster child for the marshmallow test that one of the speakers at a recent conference referenced!] He shared that this morning at a staff breakfast he passed on the pancakes and syrup in favor of healthier choices. That good example was very helpful, since the trainer who taught the Level 1 Review class brought brownies to share, and I was able to resist the temptation to have one.  I knew if I took even a bite I would probably take more than one.  So zero is perfect!

After praying about the quiz I failed yesterday, and more study, going through my notes from the similar training I had a few months ago, and talking with some of the other people working through the lessons I was able to pass the quiz.  I found that the feedback on the correct answers was more understandable than the lesson was!  This is a beta version, so if i can figure out how to give feedback, I definitely will do so!

I had some successes in deciphering today, and I learned a few new words and meanings in the process.  I had another situation in which I noticed something in one set of records that helped me an hour or so later with a different set of records.  I like when that happens.

Choir was a bit different as our director came to work with the women in the sectionals segment of practice.  I had some trouble even with having practiced on my own last week, but was encouraged when the director told us to sing out even if we got the notes wrong so that the problems could be fixed.  He also said it would be a good thing to practice on our own. That gave me the courage to let him know that the beautiful hymn he is ordering for us to sing--Behold the Wounds in Jesus' Hands--is available in parts on YouTube.  He said he will give me a copy as soon as the sheet music comes in so that I can see if the version is the same.

Off to bed before I get hungry!
