Our Servant

Lilly has a beautiful servants heart. Today she was up at 5:30 AM willing and ready to serve others. She is an amazing little girl and we are so blessed she is ours! She had adventured into serving in Critter County with Radiants babies. This is on top of being a jr. Worship leader and jr helper in her own classes at church.

Train a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

Side note on my weightloss.

We are involved with a fifty day campaign at our church called Essentials. During this campaign Gary and I are fasting. I typically fast every day during my lunch hour and dinner several times a week. Although I'm also on a weightloss journey and undoubtably this fasting will have an affect on my body, my purpose is to hunger for God in a way I have never felt before. I am a believer in what the bible says and we are taking this time to draw closer in prayer to God words.

Weightloss

I'm still losing weight I'm up to 34 pounds lost. I'm eating very vegetarian during the week along with fasting Lunch and Dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On the weekend I do eat pretty much what I want within reason. I'm still walking/running about five miles a day. It's working, I have a long way to go but I'm motivated and will continue this journey! I'm excited for the beach and being free!

Shooting

Well we have created two little shooting monsters! Lilly and Owen totally enjoyed it. We were so proud how they handled themselves at the range. The Range guys that I called Range Bouncers were so nice to the kids. It was a great day!!

Fravelts ok they are really Fravels!

Our friends Scott and Ruthie had the idea to meet at Fox Run Park for s'mores! It was such a fun night! I brought along some glow stick and kids had a blast! This is one of our favorite families, they have six kids all boys and one girl. Owen loves hanging out with Josh!

Date Day

Gary and I had a whole day off together! It was wonderful. We went Christmas Shopping for the kids and to lunch. We are already planning our next day!

Weight Loss Wednesday YHOOO 1st Goal!

I hit my first goal! I started this journey on June 26^,2014 and I have consistently lost about 2 pounds a week I've lost a little over 25 pounds! I’m up to walking about 5 miles a day and eating healthy. Gary and I are joining our church for a 50 day fast. We can fast anything we choose, media, sports, reading entertainment books anything that can take time away from The Lord and we have chosen to fast our lunch and dinner. There will be some days that we will have dinner but our lunches will be devoted to the Lord. I’m very thankful for this journey. I have never felt so close to God, I know who I’m hungry for and it is not food! Who knew that doctors were right about exercise and eating right. Looking forward to the next 50 to hit my goal! I’m going to wear my wedding dress for weeks!
