Time just goes to quickly...

Mikayla and Eli 4 years ago

Today is Eli's 7th Birthday and it seems like just yesterday we were trying desperately to soothe him while he was teething, help him learn to walk, keeping him from running LOL, and trying to teach him what being a big brother is all about.
Now he is an AMAZING big brother and just so grown up it seems.
I have to say it is so much fun giving this boy gifts, if you every want to see enthusiasm give this boy a gift LOL, he will jump up and down sing and scream with joy. His joy and happiness warm my heart.
I am so blessed that God gave us Eli, the son we were told we would never have and the devil tried to rip from us, is now a healthy, happy, generous, God loving young man. I couldn't be more proud of my boy!

Life is hectic! But oh how I LOVE it!

This year has been marked with full schedules, sickness, and well life in between. I am very blessed to say I am now losing some weight and getting healthier thanks to a program and the sheer will and power of God! I am on Optifast which I have to say this program is the hardest thing I have done since I quit smoking 2 years ago. Giving up smoking is one thing, giving up eating is a WHOLE other thing in itself!! Yes I MISS FOOD!! I won't lie. But it is easy already knowing what I am going to be eating for the next 4 months! LOL All I can say is all this hardwork is paying off! I lost 16lbs in the first couple weeks and I am looking forward to being a lighter, leaner me! I have even been able to do workouts I have not done in 3 years!! 3 YEARS!! I am just so blessed I tell ya.
Next we have a LOT of ministry stuff coming up, this month Bobby and I are speaking twice once at Real Life Church of Galt to tell more about what we do at For the Broken, and then at Stadium Galt talking about Super Heroes and Sidekicks. Then on March 24th we are training some of our volunteers and leaders how to deal with Crisis/Suicide Prevention, and let's just say I REALLY love doing ministry with my husband. He is the smart charismatic one, and I am the out there go get em type! This should be interesting LOL.
Hoping you all have an amazing March and hopefully I will blog again before Easter (which will be coming quick.)
