Well, so it's been over a month since my last blog, but there really hasn't been to much to write about. I've lost a total of 24.6 lbs with weight watchers, and 33 lbs since my first Dr. appointment. Yay me! :) It really has been very easy. I haven't had any sugar since November 16th, and I don't really ever crave it. I had mm's all over my house in December as apart of my decorations and

I finally attended the diabetic education class today. It was an all day event (8:30-4:00). I learned alot, some was good news, some was bad.THE GOOD:- I can actually eat fruit...in moderation....but I can eat it! I have been eating less than 15 carbs per meal, but was told today that I can have 45 per meal. HALLELUJAH!- There are lots of great medication options.- I'm not alone, there are

So I'm not the most creative with my titles...but oh well. Last week was a pretty good week. I'm anxious to get started with my diabetic education classes. This has been my #1 frustration. I don't know how to best change my eating habits, and don't necessarily trust the online information I'm finding. When I was first diagnosed on 11/9/11 Dr. Newton said that he was referring me to diabetic

I really really want to blog, but I'm not sure I have anything to say. But I read somewhere that you should write...even if you don't have anything to say. So here I am. After my diagnosis I stopped eating all sugars and most carbohydrates. I've never been a huge dessert fan, but I do like to have something sweet every now and then. The last time that I lost weight I depended lots on fruit,

I've never been much of a blogger, as evidenced by the fact that this is my first post in two and a half years. I just never thought that I really had anything to say, or that others would want to read. And I wasn't sure that I wanted to be vulnerable enough to share the things that may be helpful to others (and myself). So I've decided that I need to blog to help get my thoughts and feeling

“On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18Can you believe it?!? Today is April 7, 2009, just 5 days before Easter and it's snowing! The weather here is crazy. It was in the low 70's on Saturday, and now the snow is falling! However, our God is in

According to wikipedia.com, summer camp is a supervised program for children and/or teenagers conducted (usually) during the summer months in some countries. I believe that it is so much more!I grew up attending a camp for two weeks every summer with my brother. My parents would drive to the mountains as my brother and I sat in the backseat, giddy with excitement. We would pull though the gates,

"And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased" Hebrews 13:16I love how God works! In 2002 I was teaching at Westminster Christian School when I first met Ken and Tracy Grindle. They began Net India Ministries in 2000 and in December of 2002 held their very first Christmas in a Backpack. It was during that first trip that I knew I would one day be

My oh my where has the time flown? It seems like Thanksgiving was just last week! Things around here have been super busy. The month started with Christmas at Concord 2008! I love production time! This year the production was about 2 army families. The husbands were deployed unexpectedly just in time for Christmas. While sharing the gospel with his lost friend, Captain Robert Foster laid down his

I am not shamelessly participating in Mckmama's Not Me Monday as an effort to get more people to read my blog! Who in their right mind does that! That is totally prideful and selfish! I would never be selfish!I did not shove clutter in drawers and under the furniture only minutes before company arrived this weekend. I don't have clutter! My house is perfectly clutter free!I am not typing this

I've been thinking. I know that is a dangerous thing at times so maybe I should say I've been reflecting. I've been reflecting on life. I know that my purpose is to glorify God by enjoying him forever, but at times that seems so vague. My life is a journey. There are times when I'm walking on the mountain tops, lost in the valleys, or wandering in the desert. There is so much to learn in this
