Wow, I was blown away by the response to my starting a blog! Although there are only 3 comments here, I've had emails and facebook comments from people, encouraging me to keep going. Thank you!!!!
Some people don't like Facebook, but I believe that God is using it as a tool in my life to connect with people. Having been out of the workforce for 6 1/2 years, it feels very isolating being at home sometimes, but at night when I log onto FB, I find out what's been happening in the "real" world, and I feel like I'm part of something bigger than myself. Also on FB I am free to say whatever I think - I might not be game to bring Jesus into my face-to-face conversations, but it's the most natural thing in the world to click "share" on some of Joyce Meyer's teaching.
I had a wonderful morning/afternoon today with a friend, enjoying cups of tea, several pieces of cake, and talking about the "big" issues in life. I feel like I have been stuffing around for years, not really doing what I know God wants me to do, and that now it's time to "get serious". We've made a pact to be accountable to each other, and I really feel that's important. When we next meet, I want to be able to say that I've done something that we spoke about.
The other area in my life that is really bugging me is my weight. I have taken no responsibility for it and basically eaten whatever I liked. I saw a video of myself the other day and was mortified. In my head I am still the skinny little kid at school, but the camera shows something different. I have a school reunion coming up at the end of the year, and I'd prefer a lighter version of myself made an appearance. Again, it's not rocket science - "stop eating chocolate and go for a walk". So I did that today, even though I had the cake, I also had the walk, and tonight when I went to the fridge for the chocolate, I stopped myself, ate 3 strawberries instead, and imagined God smiling at me.
