It's been way too long!

It really has been too long since my last post! I really did enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts- I have so many jumbled in my head. This was always a great way to express myself and the new things God was teaching and revealing to me. I'm thinking that I need to pick it up again. I'm asking the Lord to transform a lot of me and make me new. I feel this new year deserves a new me! The Holy Spirit needs the "me" to get of the way so that "He" can live wholly through my life. Part of this transformation will be physical. I've FINALLY started my journey toward a healthy life. It's only taken me 10 years and 70 pounds to get tired of myself! I can't live overweight and truly serve God to the capacity that I feel He's lead me. I know that to serve Him overseas I'm going to have to get in gear and get healthy. He can't dwell in a rundown temple, filled with garbage! We're clearing her out so there's more room to dwell! Another part of this transformation is what I do in my spare time. Watching TV cannot consume my life! I'm changing my habits. I want to become crafty! With this new fascination to Pinterest, I've seen my creative juices start to flow. I've made some tasty treats(healthy of course!) and some pretty neat scarves and art projects. I'm hoping to do more. I'm also hoping to write. I'll use this blog to let those creative juices flow too! I'll be praying about my next entry! I want God to surprise me with something outstanding that He'll teach me- and then I'll teach you!
