for the next ten weeks. As some of you know I have started to really try to cut down on the weight I have gained over these past couple of years. I have started a workout routine where I work out Monday- Friday and rest on Saturday and Sunday. I go to spin class mwf at 6am and th @ 545p. I am also starting group power on t & th at 5:30a. I missed working out like this and even though it is hard I have been determined to get back in the shape I was in a few years ago. I told Tim that I would work my hardest to lose 10lbs while he was gone. I am confident in my ability to do this, considering I lose weight pretty quickly. Spinning has been really intense but I give all I can and push as hard as I can, thinking of Tim keeps me motivated. The time also keeps me motivated. I know when I walk in that class at 545--they can only put me through torture until 645. I am really excited about it. I dont know why I ever really got out of it, considering I love to work out. Tim starts basic today and I pray he is doing well. I know he can do it. The Lord has been good to me again. During my quiet time today I came across the perfect verse for what we are going through: "In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory." Ephesians 3:12-13. That was the best verse I have come across in a really long time. I think of the father, open arms, ready for me to just jump up and tell him all that I am going through. He does not limit us to anything when we are coming to him. He is such a loving, merciful, and comforting God. The freedom in that. The freedom to come to a God who not only already knows our hurts, dreams, sins, but he welcomes us in, in full love. A love I cannot truly comprehend but I know it is there. He is so gracious. I pray today is a good day. Momma left for a much needed women's retreat today, so I will have the kids. It should be a good weekend. I miss my Tim but I know he is being taken care of by the father, and for that I am greatful and in love.Friday, January 29, 2010
what a day already...and I am just getting started.
Woke up early this morning alive and content. Determination is going to be my middle name

ReplyDeleteI love your blog and i think it's so funny how you said they can only torture you until 6:45! "This too shall pass!" I'm so proud of you for being determined and for filling your days with constructive things to do. You're going to be very impressed with Tim when you see him after basic. Mike was buffer and had turned into the strong silent type leader. It was hot!
ReplyDeleteMatt, he is going into the Army. We are so proud of him...it is a wonderful career. Oh and Jen...let me tell you... I am counting down the days!! 60 to be exact!
ReplyDeleteMeagan,
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how proud I am of you have grown? You truly are a testimony to the power of Jesus Christ to take us and make us into something amazing and powerful for Him!
