It must be spring!!




It surely must be spring cause I went to mom's tonight and got bunches of Lilac and my house smells so good!!! I have been really busy doing all kinds of things but my favorites are working outside in the yard and flowers, and as the picture shows enjoying Gage and Parker play ball and yes dancing! This picture shows the closest that I have ever been to Elvis he was really good for a young kid and this was only his second time preforming in public. "Let's Get Movin" is going really good too it is great to see the support system being built and encouraging that the ladies want to continue after the first 6 weeks, way to go girls! We had 2 new ones this week, had some success stories and some not so successful weeks but we are warriors and we will conquer!!!
I talked to Charles in New Orleans tonight and I am so excited to get down there, some of us will be working with the children doing some sort of bible school and hoping to hand out children's bibles and bible story books. God laid this on my heart 3 months ago and am thrilled to see it coming together.
Well it is approaching bedtime so I will say good night to all sleep tight!

''Let's Get Movin' !"

Do you remember the story of Moses in Exodus chapter 3&4 when Moses told the Lord that he was not eloquent in speech and slow in speech? God asked him who gave him his mouth? Then he said" now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." Well tonight Brenda had a Moses moment! I was so scared but Jenny and Lisa prayed and I spoke! I have little idea of what I said I just know that the words flowed from my mouth and I didn't break down and cry! I am so proud of the 12 ladies who were there they made it all the way through the video and they didn't complain! Way to go girls!!!!!
We are learning that exercise doesn't have to be boring it is fun, if you are interested come join us on Wed. 6-8pm I promise you will have fun and I will hopefully remember what I said!!!

Rainy days

I do not like rainy dreary days they do things to me and most of the time it is not good! Days like today play with my emotions, I tend to doubt my choices,my abilities, my confidence,the plans that God says he has for me, I cry a lot and waste a lot of energy hiding how I really feel from everyone but my best friend,( no use trying to hide from her she sees right through me!) I am getting ready for another challenge in my path tonight. Tomorrow we will start "Let's Get Moving!!" I am not really good at exercising and even worse at watching my diet, so why was I chosen for this task? I don't know but there are a couple of others who have offered their help so as a team we will move forward on this project that God has designed. I learned in Perspective class that God works in teams, he also uses what ever we have in our hands to do his work I look at my hands and ask what do I have to work with? All I see is empty hands that are ready to do his work, I can put in a DVD, I can clap and dance to the music this is where I will start. On my last weight loss endeavor we got a Lego block and it says LET GOD I look at it often and sometimes I am successful most of the time I am not.That is where I am right now trying to let go and let God,right now though I think I had better try to get some rest since I keep falling asleep typing this!!!!
