Weight Loss Prayer

Lord, I pray for the strength and courage to live out these difficult circumstances that we face now. I pray for hope and healing.  Please help me to use food as nourishment, not as comfort and help me to see myself as you see me. This I pray, in Jesus' name.   Amen.
I set a goal at the beginning of the year to lose 20 lbs by the end of March. I am no where close to that goal. Tomorrow, (which is really today), I am phone chatting with a personal trainer. Hopefully, she will get me on the right track.

Sabel Moments Photography

About seven years ago, my best friend, Samantha Washburn, decided to become a professional photographer.  She didn't have any expensive equipment, but she had an artistic eye and a passion.  From that she has grown into a very popular professional.  She has photographers working for her now, several cameras and a truckload of equipment and props.  I am so incredibly proud of her.  From that timid (okay, so maybe not isn't quite the right word) young woman who wasn't sure anyone would pay her for photographs to a confident professional...

From the proposal...  (which Sam didn't know was going to happen)

  

...to the engagement...

 

...to the bridals...

...to the wedding...

...to trashing the dress...

...to the belly...

 ...to the baby...

...to the first birthday ...

...to the first hit...

...to the first prom...

 ... and all the way to graduation...

Sam will capture it all!   Check out her facebook ~ Sabel Moments Photography to see more of her work.

Must See Movies in 2012

Last night, I went to see the Vow with SJ.  It wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but it was a good movie.  I just expected different.

Here's a list of other movies I'd like to see:

Love Fades

I've been thinking about love lately. There are so many different kinds of love and it changes over time.

My love for my parents is different now than it was twenty years ago. My love for anyone in my family is different now than twenty years ago. In fact, my love for God is different now than twenty years ago. My love for my high school sweetheart is RADICALLY different than it was way back when. Those loves didnt grow or fade, they just changed...

And sometimes, it just dies. My love for my college sweetheart died. So did my love for my first boyfriend and another ex. I know it was there at one time, but now, its just gone ~ it died.

So, with love changing and possibly dying, how do you know for sure that you've picked the right person.

The conclusion that I've come to is that you don't. It's a leap of faith. You have to listen to your heart and listen to God. I'm not there yet in my relationship with God. I still struggle with letting go, and letting God...so being single is best for me right now.

Subconscious Choice

I am single by subconscious choice. I rarely go anywhere to meet new people. I rarely smile when I am out and about. I don't trust men and I rarely try to attract anything. Yet, I complain about being single all the time. Umm...hello!?!?!? You don't have to be put on display at a meat market, but how is HE gonna recognize you behind all that frumpy bitterness?

Bridesmaids
