lost weight

Since I do not need to study anymore, I go to jazzercise to do dance exercise. I did the aerobic exercise one hour for two days so far. My whole body felt sore. My goal is that I can tone up my whole body and decrease my waistline for next two month. For past three month, I need to sit and read books. Every Saturday, I brought lot of snack to class, chocolate, nuts, apple, hot drink and cold water, cracker, raisin. After three month, I have hard time to fit in my pants. I need do exercise to lose extra weight.

I wonder what would be like if we are out of shape spiritually.

Thanks God

Today is teacher-parent conference day for Ethan and Nathan. I am always worried about Ethan. He looks tiny compare to his classmate and students might pick on him. I mentioned my concern with his teacher. His teacher told me that I do not need to worry about that. Once he reported one incident on bus to his teacher. His teacher sent him to principal. Ethan told principal how other boy hit him. When I went back home, I told him I was very proud of him. We had short conversation:

Ethan: Mom, do not worry about me. I knew how to protect myself because I learned from you.

Me: What did you learn from me?

Ethan: I knew God is on my side.

His answer touched my heart and almost made me cry. Yes, I do not have to worry about him too much anymore because he has faith on God. He knew how to depend on God when I am not around to protect him.

It is so hard to be a mother. Most of time I do not know how to guide them. However, I pray for them and ask God help. It turns out ok. Thanks God!

Sharing

I cried while I led Sunday morning prayer meeting. It felt so good that I could cry in front of brothers and sisters. It is healthy way to express my feeling. If I feel down, I do not need to pretend I am happy. I want to be honest with myself.

Of course, our brothers and sisters prayed for me. Guess what? I felt great yesterday and joy flow out my heart. I even enjoyed to write my two final papers last night.

Yes, our family sacrificed some family time while I go to school on Saturday and Wednesday night Bible study. All those papers made me crazy. I do feel overwhelm sometime. However, God allow me to experience His love at different level. It is all worthy. God love me and bless my family in so many ways for so many years. It is honor to finial have chance to serve Him and push my limitation for Him.

A Special Day

Our Honda pilot needs 3000 miles maintenance. It will takes 4 hours to do that. Honda rent a black Doge car for me and it is free. I was so excited to drive another car. I forget to bring the broken car key to Honda to get fix. I had to pick up the key and go there again. After I drop off the key, I went to close by library. I found out that I forget my cell phone. I had to drive back home again. In case, Honda calls me to pick up the car.

Well, I just realize that I like the experience of driving different car. It is somewhat boring to drive the same car everyday. Today is a special treat from God. Since I run around so much, I decide I will take a break from studying today. It is so nice to enjoy a day without reading any textbook and drive a different car. Thank God!
