Not Wednesday

Sometimes I look back at the young 20 something me and can't help but think how cute and hot I was back then LOL!! No wonder Gary fell in love with me. I was hot, AND had sparkling personality...Not mention my long blond hair and the fact I could really sing and dance way back in the day. I would love to relive some of that.

Those days are gone, except I've kept my personality :)! Since being diagnosed several years ago with thyroid issues weight has been awful to manage. In fact I hate it. For the last couple of weeks I have been very intentional about what I eat and working out and I've lost six glorious pounds. Just six, but it's coming off. So I'll just keep plugging along. Any who, there is my weight loss update. Something that I'm learning during this journey, is that it's okay to pray for me. I pray for everyone else, their weaknesses, life problems and journeys. When it comes to me I tend to think that God will just take care of everything. I have not felt well lately and my stomach is in it's own world. Sunday around 2am I was sick, my stomach was in pure pain. I could not sleep and there was no position that brought me any relief. I thought for sure I was going to have to call in thinking there was no possible way I could lead worship. Somehow around 4 I made my way to the shower to get myself going praying all the way. I made it to church,  really not saying much to anyone about how I felt. I did mention that I was sick to my friend and that morning he prayed for me. As he prayed for me I felt God say to me just receive prayers. It's okay to receive prayer, it's not selfish something I'm really learning. The Bible teaches us that we have not because we don't ask. So now I'm asking for healthy skinny prayers! :) After receiving prayer I truly felt better. Before the first service started the pain was nearly gone. God is asking me once again to trust Him fully. He wants my heart, my brain and every single part of my life to manage. One day I'll be at the feet of my Jesus. I want to know that  in this life that I truly trusted Him in every aspect. I truly love His presence and the people He sends as reminders to surrender to Him. I'm so thankful for life journeys to Heaven!
