Weigh In

So today was the dreaded weigh in, I was up early this morning and debated whether to run on the treadmill before church. I decided we would all just go to early church, see I'm telling you my motivation has lacked. I stepped on the scale and in the last 2 weeks (since I skipped out on church last week) I lost 2.5 lbs. I had to step back on and check the numbers again, I couldn't believe that even though I had been putting crap in my mouth and not excercising, I still lost. Grand total so far of.......9lbs in six weeks. I'm hoping if I step it up a notch the last 11lbs I want to lose will come off before April.

Today I'd ask for prayers for a young mother who dealt with the death of her one year old Dec 30, 2007 and just recently her son Liam was born sleeping just 10 short days before his due date. I have never met her, but do know the father of her kids. I remember feeling so horrible after the accident that took her daughter, little did I know that 3 weeks later I would be dealing with my own grief of losing my baby. She is a strong woman, but know that she is suffering terribly right now and I know that she believes and will some day hold her babies again.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he lead me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for your are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I am looking forward to the upcoming Lent and Easter season, what better time is there to give thanks to our God, for the gift he gave us in the scarification of his Son. Jake and I watched Fireproof last night and if anyone hasn't seen it, I would highly recommend it. We both agreed it's the best movie we've seen in a long time. It's very powerful and it makes you think about how you can improve your own marriage.

I hope all of you have a blessed week,
Becky
