Challenge to be Healthy

I'm finding it more and more difficult to shed some unwanted pounds. I was doing fine until I had surgery on my right hand. Then, everything went south. I fixed whatever was easiest, but still trying to be healthy.

Here's the challenge: I will be writing about my journey to health. If you would like to participate with me or offer advice feel free to comment.

Life is Precious

Today Jesus reminded me just how precious life is and how I take so much for granted. I'm also aware of how often worry consumes my life when so many of my neighbors are hurting.

Our dear neighbors, R & K, have three boys. The youngest was born back in July. He has been diagnosed with a metabolic disorder and severely jaundiced. Hospice has begun making visits. I held R in my arms as she cried. This is the second time she will be losing a son. She let me hold the little one, and he looked right at me listening to my voice.

My worries of not finding a job to help our family seemed to melt away as I held that tiny baby. I am praying and hoping for a miracle, but most of all I pray the Jesus will be glorified. R told me this isn't the story she would have written for herself, but she knows God has better story to tell.
