God is Good

God is so good. As I set here reflecting on the day and all the things that went wrong or put me in a bad mood, I am reminded that God is always a good God. A good friend of mine made me a tile that says, God give me the patience to deal with my blessings. That is so true. I get frusturated that my house is dirty sometimes, at least I have a house, my kids and I disagree sometimes, at least I can have kids. People at work drive me nuts, at least God has blessed me with a job. You get the idea.I just feel so thank-ful tonight for everything that God has given me. My heart is really feeling full right now kind of bursting at the seams and I can't put my finger on the reason.

I have been going to church on Wednesday nights and that just really helps keep me centered. My oldest son is liking it mainly because he can skate board after wards but HEY whatever it takes to keep him interested right? My youngest son doesn't like it as much but I am seeing him meet more and more kids his age and really coming into his own circle of friends instead of hanging with his brothers friends. It is neat to see them grow into young adults-I am so very proud of both of them.

I have lost 24 lbs and went shopping yesterday-it was so much fun. I want to loose about 45 more pounds. I can do it. I probably should have lost more then 24 by now but I am not being as hard on myself on the weekends. i figure that I have to make it fit my lifestyle if I am going to continue with it w/out being bored or wanting to quit. On the weekends I might eat just a little bit more than usual-sometimes I stick to the plan religiously on the weekend it just depends on what my body wants or needs at the time. So far this has not ever resulted in a gain on Monday just a maintain so I am happy with that. I am feeling so much better about myself and am really proud of myself as well.

All the glory to God to helping me stick to this program, like I said...God is good
