So, I have lost a 100 pounds! I'm thrilled, I know that the Doctor said it would happen but I guess I never believe it would. This last month has brought a few challenges, great joy, and in the midst of everything at times have made life somewhat difficult. 1st, I got the flu, not the swine flu, but the flu. It lasted about a week and left me so wiped out. 2nd, after recovering from the flu my Mom and I went to Spokane for 4 days to help my Brother and his wife get their house ready to be sold. It was so fun to bless them with the help, although, I was still getting over the flu so I did a lot of sitting. Next time I promise I will be more help. 3rd, the following weekend I organized a spring carnival and chili cook-off at my church. It was a wonderful time, I can't believe how much help I had as well as how many people brought chili. We had 16 entries. So many families came out and it was just a great time. 4th, this last week I went to the Doctor for my 6th month check-up. The only thing that wasn't right was my B-12 levels, which are very low. He has me taking a B-12 vitiamin for now, and hopes that everything will be normal in 3 months. But this explains why I just couldn't get back to 100% after the flu, it has made me really tried and anemic. 5th, while I am still so blessed to have a job in these times, my office has cut a quite a few positions which means my work load has increased like 100%. I love my job and the people I work with so that's not a problem, it's just very busy and there is never enough time in the day. Right now I'm getting trained to be a part-time graphic designer. I'm very excited to learn something new, but what that means, is at night when I'm home I have to study a lot to learn new programs as well as how to use a computer that has always been so foreign to me, a mac.
I love this new season in my life, it is such a blessing to not have the burden of my healthier weighing on me. And I'm so thankful for all that the Lord has blessed me with, I'm reminded everyday of His love for me. He is my strength and help.
