This is something NEW!

Well, I decided to write a blog today. I'm usually no good at journaling, but I thought I'd give this a try. There's a lot going on right now, and the Lord is really working so I thought I'd write it down.
First of all, I'm going to journal as a way of accountability to myself with my food and exercise choices. I'm not going to diet, but I am going to live a healthier life. My goal is to get healthy and get off of high blood pressure medicine (losing weight will be great too). Anyway, I've put it in the Lord's hands and I know He'll help me everyday.
I'm also going to share what God is doing in my life personally. I'm currently studying "Jesus the One and Only" by Beth Moore. It has been great! Jesus is so awesome and I'm learning how much He was tempted, tried, and tested, and how HE overcame. It is really been a great inspiration to realize there is nothing new, and I can expect just as many trials as Christ! I should not dare think that I am better than He. If he was tried, and persecuted, then I too should be, if I'm following Him. We've been through so much as a Pastor's family, but I'm willing to endure more. I'll try each day to put a tidbit of what I've learned in the blog.
I have 3 wonderful children, Meredith, Sarah, and James. Sarah is currently on a World Changer's trip and is devotion leader in her group. This is a great opportunity for her to share God's love with others and to deepen her walk with Christ. Meredith and I will be leaving in 3 weeks for Canada for World Changers. We are so excited! I hope to find a way to blog while I'm away.
Right now, we're seeking God's will and path. My pastor hubby is currently in seminary and we are in the middle of talks with a church. It will be a great opportunity, not that I'm looking forward to moving, but to get back into a church will be wonderful. This church seems to be on fire and willing and able to grow, which is the desire of our hearts (to lead and disciple a healthy growing church). We're waiting to hear from them as to their next step. I'm leading Trackside Praises for our church's VBS, last night was our first night, and it was much better than I had anticipated. It's a different format than I am used to, but despite not having enough time, it did go well. James had fun!
Well, my health plan for today is: Eggs for breakfast, Pasta (Dreamfield's) and beef for lunch, an apple or grapes for snack, and chicken, green beans, and potato salad for supper. Something light and sugar-free for dessert. Allen and I will also be going to play tennis!
