What this is all about!

First of all, credit goes to my brothers Laurence & Jason for inspiring me with their blogs! You should check them out, just click their names!



I am currently on what I hope to be my last, weight loss journey. I want to reach my goal weight by July, 2012 when we go on vacation/a worldwide church conference. At a midweek church service, I was inspired to really grow spiritually. This scripture was continually on my heart. "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come" 1 Timothy 4:8



So, this blog will be my journey (until July 2012 at least) of physical training and most importantly, godliness.

10 lbs Down, Feels like 10,000

100 lbs of fat!
I have hit the 10lbs down mark!  This is only the first leg of my journey, but I'm proud of my progress!  As you know, I lost my job 2 weeks ago.  So, I have been a housewife for almost 2 weeks & I love it!  I never thought I would say that!!  It has been the best thing for my relationship with God, for my marriage, my health, my life in general.  My house is so clean, our life is less stressful, more organized & we are both so happy.  We are even saving money by spending more time grocery shopping, looking for what is on sale, making almost everything from scratch  & eating at home instead of eating out.  It's amazing what happens when you surrender to God & give Him the control!

I am still looking for a job, but it is such a burden lifted off my shoulders to not feel like I have to take any job that will have me.  I can take my time & not have a knee-jerk reaction.  I can choose one that will work well with our lifestyle & is truly a good fit for our little family.  I also have time to research & make sure the company culture & practices are a good fit.  I am working hard to take time to listen to God & not take control (so hard).

We have not fully decided our long term plans, but I do know no matter what God's plan is-we will make it through!  His plans have always proven to be WAY better than mine!  He is the ultimate planner!!  One of my favorite books of the Bible is Job, I particularly like chapters 40 & 41, where God really lets Job have it!  I need that reminder often.  But, I also like the beginning of 42 where Job begins his response to God with "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted."  Something I need to remember...
