Verse for Today: You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
God is with us as we go through our days. There are times that we "feel" as if we can't feel His presence. However we need to move forward knowing that God has us in the palm of His hand. While the circumstances might seem terrible for us, we don't know yet how God may use that circumstance to encourage others. Remember the world is watching you to see how you will react and you might be the only "light" that they see today. Let your light shine and proclaim God's love to the world.
Remember light will shine in the darkness, however darkness does not extend into the light.
Don't hide your light under the bushel, let it shine for the world to see.
May God bless you!

Back on the wagon
Well, it has been a while since I posted anything. We are back from Ohio and while it was a stressful time for me (and the rest of the family), when I got back on the scales on Wednesday night, I had lost 2.6 pounds. I'm not sure I have done that well since then, we will see Wednesday I guess.
I tried really hard while we were away to stay away from the starchy foods, the family was supportive of my efforts to eat right and it was successful. It was hard because they are all very good cooks. :)
However, now that I am back home and working out of the home office, I find that I need to be careful again, or I will be back where I was before. I covet everyone's prayers as I move ahead on this journey. I would still like to lose 40 pounds in two months - yes I know that is not logical, however a pound a week, would be about 10 pounds in 2 months. That would be awesome! So stand with me during this journey and we will succeed!
May God bless all who read this.

In Ohio
Well I need all of your prayers. We are in Ohio now. Jim's mom passed away this week, so all of the siblings are here, it will be hard for me to stick to my diet, but I am trying. Keep me in your prayers that I can be strong.
They are all good cooks, so.... :) I am staying away from the scales during this time. It is so hard to be in her house and she is not here, but I know she is in a better place - she is in heaven with Jesus. No more pain, no more medication. She won't have to reember if she has taken her medication or not. :)
I am so thankful, that she went so peacefully, she didn't have to be in pain for years and years.
Keep praying.

Lifestyle - March 3
Ok, well I said I would report the good as well as the bad, so I will live up to my promise - sighhhh :(
Yesterday, I was working in town and was on my way home, tired, ready to be home and my blood sugar dropped (not an excuse - just the truth!). So what did I do? I did what I knew I shouldn't, I stopped in for a McDonald's. I knew as I was getting "I'm going to be sorry for this!". And I was. That night I was really sick. Should teach me a lesson right? Ok, I fell off the wagon, time to get back on again and try again. We weigh in tonight, not sure I really want to - I think I will be lucky if I stay the same. I will have to report back on that too later. :)
So today - what happens, but my husband (sweet caring hubby he is :) ) came upstairs and took me downstairs to explain all of the buttons on the new treadmill we got. Secret everyone! I'm scared of treadmills - I am sure they will take off and leave me behind. So now that I know how it works, guess I better go down and walk a little bit before we go to class tonight.
Just remember - we can all do it - we might have moments of disappointment, but we can always go back and try again. God is always walking along beside us if we only ask Him - you are never alone.
