What's funny is that I feel like the finish line is also the start line. I get to keep running after crossing the finish line. But I get to slow done some. It's OK. I like running (metaphorically speaking, of course). But a steady jog will be a welcome change from this continuous SPRINT I am currently in!
Lots of things are happening all at once for me right now. GOOD THINGS! All very exciting. Besides finishing my teacher program, I am also packing up for yet another move--in less than 3 weeks- this time to our very own HOUSE. I call it my casita. It is little and cute and I am SOOO READY to get into it. It's hard to be patient, but God's timing is everything- so won't be in a rush over it.
Another great thing is that I am finally shedding these extra pounds that burden me in so many ways. This summer I weighed myself and realized that I was EXACTLY 100 pounds heavier than I was when I got married. The Lord used that shock and that reality to speak to me about what needed to happen. So I initiated "PROJECT WEDDING WEIGHT"! My goal is to lose those 100 pounds by the end of this school year. I have lost 33 pounds since school started. Soon I will be pulling out old clothes that I have not worn in 5 years. And burning these other ones! :) This feels like a finish line and a start line, too. Finishing running down a path of guilt, shame, and pain. Starting on a brighter, less treacherous path of health, physical strength, and the pulling down of a major stronghold that the enemy has tried to bind me with for way too long.
I have some very hard days, but I am experiencing great blessing and victory right now- spiritually, mentally, emotionally. The Lord is good. HE SUSTAINS US. HE NEVER FAILS. HIS PROMISES ARE TRUE. Mountains. Valleys. It's ALL part of HIS PLAN. We must not doubt Him!! EVER!!!! I welcome your prayers and thank you for them. Hope to get back to writing more soon.
