Long overdue update

I cannot believe that it is the end of May! I am so sorry it has been so long since I have given an update. The truth is that life has just been so crazy lately. so much going on and even more than that I am trying to process it all to make sense of what is going on!

lots of areas to update you on so we will start with the Tupperfit challenge... first of all they have extended it so instead of it being 12 weeks it is now 16 weeks. that means four more weeks with a personal trainer. We are at the middle of week 10. (our week starts and ends on Wednesday morning. the results for week 9 still had my team in 1st place. I am also the one on my team that has lost the most weight. 36 pounds to date... still a long way to go however, I am more than a third of the way to my goal! my goal is to loose 100 pounds! That will actually take me under my perfect weight. however, I figure that gives me a little wiggle room...

Two other big items in my life that are changing is Shawn has moved out. He is now living with his father in St. Cloud. He got a job out at that end of town and since he will be 18 in just a couple of months I decided to let him make this move. So once again an empty nest... wow... This time I am really enjoying it! The other big thing is that I attended my last Sunday worship service at Faith Baptist Church. This is huge. I have been a member of that church for 15 years! It is especially hard to leave now when things are good there... really good. I however, really believe that God was telling me it was time. and when I did not follow that right away I just felt awefull. I knew i was outside of the will of God for my life and really had no choice. I do not know where I will be attending. I do not feel that God has given me any direction yet. but like I mentioned to a friend the other day, "God has never handed me an itinerary yet so I guess this is not different, it just feels a lot more scary than other things since I had been there so long" I know that God has a purpose for this and a plan for my life and my ministry so I am excited about the next part of this amazing adventure He has me on! LIFE WITH GOD IS AMAZING!!!
