In a GREAT place

I just want to blog this before going to bed. If I died (my flesh will die but my spirit will live eternally in Heaven) today… Please let all know I am feeling great and that I am in a GREAT place in my life! I need to go because my daughter is calling so I cant go into details but I am soooo in a GREAT PLACE!

THANK YOU GOD!!!

I love those who fill these shoes…

Tonight before going up to bed, my daughter lined up our shoes. I dont know why, but I had to take a photo. Then just have some thoughts about it. I think it is so cute she lined them up. This is so amazing to me. I am married and I have two children!!! What a place to be in life – I am so excited!!!!

I love my husband so much. He’s great and we work extremely well together. Really we do. We’re not perfect but i admit, our relationship is great. I credit it ALL to God!

Dear sweet Lydia. She is an amazing daughter. After being told – no natural kids due to PCOS, then she comes along – We KNOW there is a GOD with a PLAN we, on Earth, cannot understand and predict. Sometimes it’s like this and an AWESOME result, then sometimes it’s tough, like being told you’ll never have biological kids. I am reading a blog of a mom who just lost her daughter to cancer at 9 years old. This only reminds me to cherish my time with Lydia (and Levi & Levi II). We just don’t know. She had a healthy daughter then BAM diagnosis cancer and a year later, God’s taken her Home.

SO whatever God’s plan is for me and those he’s blessed me with in my everyday life – a husband and 2 kids, I am doing my best to enjoy this here on earth, because I know with my husband, we’ll see each other in eternity (Heaven). I pray my daughter and son believe and choose Jesus as their Savior/God.

My precious son Levi II is just a perfect addition to our funny family. God has orchestrated this so wonderfully. I am living an absolute dream. And to think, Heaven is this time eternity! WOW! Levi II is so full of joy (he’s not 2 & 3 yet). He’s great for us three. I am excited for our families to see him soon.

Dear God, Thank you for blessing me with your SON Jesus and for the blessings on earth, the three L’s in my life: Levi, Lydia, and Levi II!!! WOW. I’m humbled. AMEN!

Life day to day isn’t easy and perfect. With God, it helps it all! And I love those who fill the shoes above. Yes with God’s help; I love me – I love Levi – I love Lydia – I love Levi II – I love God and His Son, Jesus!!!

Good nIght,

Ready to Reboot!

Here I am. And I am ready – mentally and emotionally! Ready to reboot my system – or in my Macintosh days, my favorite terminology “zap my P-Ram”! heehee anyway, you’re probably wondering what am I talking about? I am ready to get back to Eating Right and Exercise. This is what the doctors always tell us to do, but when they tell us to do it… it’s sooo not-fun to do! When it’s a personal, self-motivated choice, I believe the success is more possible and long term.

I did this before (ate right and exercised) and was in a season where it was more work and got off-the-wagon for sure (i had two kids), but now I am ready again! YEAH! So today, I am fasting. I am fasting for my health. I do this every time I’ve changed they way I eat. And I’ve done them all (low calorie, low fat, low salt, low carb, etc). They have all had their individual successful results. I have one I am passionate about – because i know it works for my Body, my Life, my Health and it’s more realistic to maintain.

Why now? Why? Well I had told myself since giving birth in Feb 2007, that I would not go crazy on myself about weight loss until he was one year. Well that time has come and passed. I was kinda ready and the best thing is I am more ‘hungry’ for more activity in my life! Walking or taking the kids to the park etc! So this has helped motivate me. Then, I guess after a few days of eating myself happy – My anniversary and such – I was like … ok that was a fun ride, now lets get back to business!

So the photo was one my hubby took yesterday and thoguht I would post it publically. No I don’t think I look bad, but I know I don’t look too healthy either. Don’t get me wrong, I so feel like a BBW and love my curves. I am just ready to eat better for my life’s sake. I may not (and dont want to) be a size 6, but I do want to be more healthy inside – my heart! With PCOS and a family history of health probs, I want to eliminate or postpone them if possible.

Join me if you want, to eating better – whatever your diet or activity change choice may be! I have a friend who is also making this decision and is doing it in a different way, but we’re doing it for the same reasons and want the same results. For our Health, for our lives!

Doin’ Good

I am so blessed with so much. All in all, I am doing good. God continues to guide me daily and it’s so wonderful. I have responsibilities but I am not responsible for the world. Amen! I love my husband and he is super GREAT to me. The children, wow a mommy of two, are great! Never knew I would have children to be responsible let alone one of each gender. We’re doing what we feel God is calling us to do and I can sleep so well on that! I just wanted to share that right now… I’m doin’ good in life here on earth!
