I'm already in "Christmas mode" with the kids' Christmas play, so I had almost forgotten about Thanksgiving, lol!!
Hope all is well with everyone - it is an insanely busy time, and I'm exhausted but deliriously happy right now. The same group of friends that I got together with last Christmas when we were tired (in our spirits as well as physically!), depressed, and scared to death of what our futures held, are getting together this Thanksgiving and celebrating everything that God has done for us in the past year.
Been really busy, trying to prepare a Christmas float, play, and prepare Thanksgiving Dinner. Family & I don't get together with our families on Thanksgiving, we use it as a community outreach and prepare a dinner for anyone who needs the meal or doesn't want to spend the holiday alone. If you would pray that we are able to minister to everyone there that is in need of receiving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am thankful that this year there are ladies coming up to me wanting to help cook turkeys.
I want to take a chance to Praise the Lord for everything He has done for me this year that includes find all you wonderful ladies on this board. I haven't been on here much, but I am thankful for you all.
We had a wonderful service Wednesday night (no Thanksgiving day service). God has blessed our ministry and I thank God for growth over the last year. I've learned so much, implemented so much.
I also ate way too much over the four-day weekend and am looking forward to getting back to a normal work routine!
Despite that, I'm excited about getting the weight off once and for all. I bought a walk and box DVD and stability ball workout DVD and have done them both over the weekend. I had to take a long shower Sunday morning just so I could move! LOL!
I didn't want anymore treadmills, elliptical machines taking up space in the house so the walk and box DVD is really great and a killer workout.
I'm just really thankful for a husband who loves me, a family that appreciates me (most days anyway...LOL) a church family that loves and respects us and for all the precious people of God I've met.
