3 in 30: April {week 4}

April's goals...

Write and mail someone a letter/card each week.
Again, this week, I found myself looking forward to these few minutes of handwriting a letter to a friend.  Something happens when you give of yourself to someone else...and God uses it to bless His children, myself included.
Make a new recipe at least once a week.
Made a delicious no-bake chocolate eclair dessert today.  I'd had a vanilla one at my sis-in-law's house before and enjoyed it...google no-bake eclair and you'll find a recipe.  My 9x13 dessert cost me $3.95.  Unbelievably good for a good price, too! Part 2 of Proverbs 31...verses 17 & 27
"She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks...She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."
Haven't been home much this week...we left Wednesday for IN to spend time with my family over Easter...BUT I do feel good about getting alot done before I left and am hoping this goal will motivate me into unpacking in a timely fashion and with a happy heart once home again. :)

Happy Easter!!!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”  John 11:25

#TransformationTuesday

"But God has surely listened and has heard my prayer."  Psalm 66:19 As one who has struggled with weight all of my life, seeing the ups and downs in jean sizes became my reality.  I would lose some pounds only to face a stressor in life and see them return and bring friends along for the ride.  I spent years believing lies, yet secretly hoping for a better reality.  Lies that I am not capable of overcoming my sweet tooth and that I am just not the workout type, topped the list.  I have never really lacked self esteem or self confidence; I know who I am.  However, I know from personal experience, others define me by what they first see.  Having been a plus-size lady for years, I was treated differently, intentionally or not, when I dropped pounds. My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

3 in 30 Check In: Minor Technicalities

Having a great month...getting things accomplished and finding myself excited that the newness of 2011 hasn't worn off yet is so awesome. Closets are all cleaned out but mine...getting to the last one of six feels great and I cannot wait to rummage through it. As for making it to the Y three times...thanks to our ice and a minor back injury , that hasn't happened, but I have a chance tomorrow and Saturday to make it there at least twice this week.  So looking forward to it, even if I walk a little funny getting there. And, there are plans in the making of a new endeavor for me to use a newly acquired skill to bless others.  Baby steps of hope in the right direction. And, I've had a chance to think ahead to next month's goals...can't wait!  Thank you, God, for a wonderful week!
