Dear Readers,
Good morning! I hope you had a good weekend and didn't pig out too much on Valentine's Day candy like I did!
How many of you struggle with completing your projects?
It's been said that the "one with the most cloth when she dies wins!" Well I brought my entire stash to church with me yesterday to share with my Sunday School class, entitled, "Co-creaters with Christ." My students want to learn to quilt, so I am teaching them. Along with my fabric, I brought my two dozen or so unfinished quilt projects, all of which are very impressive, except they are not usable, because they are not done.
I am a great starter!
A year ago, I started out to lose 40 pounds and praise the Lord, I lost 20 in the last year. Then I gave up for awhile and am starting to gain. It's time to get back on track and finish this project of improving my health by losing my extra 20 pounds.
I cook a turkey every other week and am well aware of how heavy a 20 lb. turkey is to carry. I don't go very far with it before I am all to willing to set it down on the counter top. When I consider that I am putting that much extra weight on my skeleton to support, I get inspired to fight hard to win my battle against my inner procrastinator and finish my journey to reach my goal.
I need to focus my energies! I need to pray because I need God's help. Finishing is not my forte! I also need to set my mind to doing this thing. Perhaps if I remind myself of my past successes, it will help. My husband says that I am "very determined!" He doesn't use the word "stubborn."
Lent begins on in two days. With God's help I can give up sugar and fat. This will get me started back on my path to become as healthy and energetic as possible, by losing 20 lbs. and being active everyday.
God bless you in your Lenten goals.
And God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries today.
Love, Sue
