The Beginning of my journey

Good Saturday Morning! As I begin this journey in writing, I guess I should share a little about me and how this all got started. I must tell you that I have been participating in a Bible Study over the last few months and a lot of them have blogs and it all looked like fun so with much encouragement, I thought I'd give it a shot.

As I said, I am a stay at home mom of the two beautiful children you see in the picture, Maddie is 7 and Andrew is 3. I am also married to Michael and if I can find a picture of him I may try to post it later. I just happen to think my children make cuter pictures so I thought I'd post one of them first. :)

I grew up in church from the time I was five and thought that I had that life changing experience of salvation at the age of 14. It was only through a Bible Study by Beth Moore, "Daniel" that God revealed to me a little over a year ago that I was not saved. I asked Jesus into my heart on February 27, 2007 and what an amazing ride it has been ever since! I have met many new wonderful Christian Friends through Bible Study and God continues to bless me daily through them. There have been a few bumps and bruises along the way, even some storms, but I am reminded daily how much fresher and how much more vibrant things look after the rain!

I was also told by the doctors a couple of months ago that I have a condition for which I need to lose weight to avoid other serious health problems that it may cause in the near future. Dieting and exercise are not my strong points by nature so I am also hoping that through my journaling I will feel more accountable and try harder. I will post pictures periodically of myself to show my progress because I know that in Christ I can do all things and this time I am going to honor my temple and lose the weight I need to lose to keep myself healthy!

So, that's a little about me...Have a wonderful weekend!
