Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Evening Shake, Anyone??

Project: 52 Photos – week two

And this is “my world” this week. Oh yeah – meal replacement shakes. So not the most exciting photo ever but I want this project – at the end of the year – to be a reflection of my life..and rigth now, my life is all about dieting. I started back on my diet on Saturday and that first week, it just seems to consume my thoughts. I know it doesn’t stay like this but that does seem to be the case in the beginning.

And there is more to my diet than shakes – oh please. That’s just what I was having last night when I got ready to take pictures. I try not to blog much about my diet – really, who cares – but I am trying to learn a lot more during this time and process than simply losing weight. Right now – it is all about discipline….and goodness knows, there is much to learn about that!

PS – and, yes, those are the old (and unattractive) counter tops….soon to be gone:)

  1. WOW…A shake huh? I am impressed….I honestly don't think I could do it. Though I have been considering posting a day's worth of "my" meals…just for the record you know? I know what you mean though, that first week on the diet does kind of consume your mind..haha…Have a wonderful day my friend, and keep up the good work. I weigh in this morning so we will see how I've done. HUGS

  2. Good for you! Keep up the good work…it's definitely well worth all the extra effort! See you tonight. "R" sings a solo part in the girls choir tonight. 🙂

  3. You are better than me. I cannot do the shake diets. I have to eat…there is something about the chewing that helps me to feel full and satisfied. But if it works for you, go for it! I will pray for you…it does take discipline and LOTS of it!!
