This week marks a year anniversary of a new life for me. A year ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, triglycerides in the 500's and crazy high cholesterol on top of a long history of high blood pressure.
I wasn't treating God's temple very well. God got my attention! He used my health to bring me back to Him. He gave me friends to encourage me along the way. He gave me strength to move my body. He gave me wisdom to use the knowledge of good things to eat.These things gave me courage to make changes in all areas of my life.
This year is my giving back year. I want to give back and I'm asking God to show me how to take what I've come to know in the past year and use it for HIS glory. I can't wait to see what God is going to do. He is good...He is powerful and He has the power to change lives...He changed mine...forever!
August of 2010, I weighed a whopping 205 pounds. Today, I weigh 148.8 lbs. That is humbling to share. God in His goodness gave me the gift of getting it right.
Thank you to my sweet friends and family that have been such an encouragement to me. My sweet husband who has always inspired me to be better...and whom I've seen Christ change immeasurably more than physically but in the most important way...He has given Him spiritual fitness. It's amazing. I know God used people to pray for Chad and I. That is powerful. That our words can hold so much power. That God allows us to be vessels for blessing. What an amazing way to live...and love.
