Transformation

It's been a slow process, but God is transforming my heart yet again. Sean and I gave up media for the two weeks before our holidays and it's amazing the difference it makes on my heart. Instead of drowning myself in other realities, I am forced to take a good look at the one I have. I have been able to see God and His blessings more clearly, because my 'vision' is no longer clouded with all world has to offer. It feels good, but it's slow going. I still find myself longing for the easy fix...the easy stress release, instead of dealing with my emotions. But God is good and merciful. and I am able to make slow progress each day. I am rediscovering that what God gives is better than anything we can get from this society.

Sean is in Mexico for the next 9 days. I am so looking forward to what God will do. We have been praying for so long, for not only the people the youth will be helping, but for the youth themselves. We want them to be transformed. I am trusting that God will make that happen!

I am enjoying my time with my family, although I do miss Sean. I love to experience things with him, to watch his enjoyment. I especially like to watch him interact with Lily. And she has been doing so many fun things this trip. It's hard to believe that it has been over a year with her in our lives. She is so precious! It will be good to be with him again.

I gave up on weight watchers. It's too hard for me to do and it really doesn't seem to get to the heart of my eating issues. Most programs don't...they mention the emotional element of eating but they don't help you through it all the way. They almost glaze over it. I did run yesterday for the first time in a while and I did well. I did four reps of 4 minutes run and 2 minutes walk, then I walked for another 15 minutes and ran another 4 after that. Altogether its more than I've ever done. Man I was sore afterwards though.

That's all for now. I'm hoping for more transformation stories later on this week. We'll see:)
