LifeStyle Change!

On top of trying to spend less, I have decided to loose weight.  Not just by exercising, but by eating right too!  I have found a book called TRIM HEALTHY MAMA.  I have seen many posts on FB about it and a friend has been living this way for a while and she loves it.  I bought the book, started a folder of recipes, made 20 freezer meals that meet the standards for it and even Paul is on board.  He even started to read a bit of the book.  WOW  is all I can say about that.  SO here we go with this new life!!!!

My freezer full of new meals and my 'before photo'  186.7 lbs.

Less is Better

Over the last few weeks I have become more and more discontent with what I have.  I thought maybe it was just the blah's before Christmas.  I felt far form the Creator and wanted to get out of the blahs.  I sat on my couch and read my daily devotions and prayed for insight and direction.  I did not have a lightning out of the sky moment just a small nudge to move.  Now it wasn't like a physical nudge, just this feeling that God wants me to do something.

I wasn't sure what He was really saying just that He was going to tell me something very important and I need to obey!

Well, one the next few weeks I kept seeing a repeat thought on Facebook, in emails, even an article I read was on the same thing….living with less.  Ok, that's great Lord.  But what does that look like for me?  Is there a Bible verse that You want me to live by?  How about direction on how to do this?  I'm in process and looking for His leading and direction, but I am moving toward His plan for my life.  With that said…here I go!!!  Into the unknown and His will for me and my family!  I pray He shows me more and more on how and what to do.
