You do not have,because you do not ask.
- James 4:2
Part of the reason I'm starting this blog is because I'm wanting a closer relationship with God. So to take a step in that direction I have started to pray about it. Recently I have found myself forgetting to pray, You ask how can I just forget pray? .I can come up with a million excuses, but none of them are good enough. So I've been praying, because how can a pray be answered if I don't give it to the Heavenly father himself!
So today I pray for my son's first day of swimming lessons,that God keeps him safe as he's learning. That God gives Trace's aunt the patience she needs as she teaches all the children today. That God comforts me as I am sad and have feeling of guilt that I'm not the one taking him on his first day. That God blesses my brother for taking Trace. I aso Pray that God watches over my husband as he puts in a hard days work,as well the rest of my family.
In Gods name Amen.
So the last few weeks I have been potty training Trace. He is doing so good, and I couldn't be prouder.We have hardly had an accidents at all,he has even been holding it at night. Like I said couldn't be prouder!
I have also started a fitness challenge for myself,I have really been fighting this. I hate exercise,and I usually stop before I even get started. It has been on my mind that I need to get fit ,not just for me ,but for my family as well. I started my weightloss journey in Oct of 2012, not many people know ,but had the lapband procedure done. I don't why I haven't been very vocal about it, I dont' know if it's because I'm embarrassed that it came to me having to have surgery to loss weight or what the real reason is. I have lost around 30-40 pds since surgery, I will admit I would of thought I would of lost more by now. That's why I decided to take it a step futher and add fitness into my journey hoping it would boost my spirit and that I would see some more results.Also, in the last few months I have started seeing the chiropractor. I was very sceptical at first ,but after some pushing from someone at work I went. I have not regretted a single minute of it. I started going to help with my frequent headaches that I get, but it has helped so much more then that. I feel so much better in general since I have been going. It has been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself. So back to my fitness challenge, I made a deal with my husband that if I walked/ran for 5wks that I could get a new pair of running shoes. I did this for I could be held accountable,that I just couldn't go out and but them that I had to work for them. What would be the point of having a new pair of shoes if I wasn't going to use them anyway. So I decided that if I stuck with it for 5 wks I could get the pair I wanted ,that hopefully if I stuck with for the five weeks that I would continual to keep it up.So wish me luck !
