Bye Bye Fried Chicken... i will miss you

The notorious diet has begun again, and i really dislike the first few weeks of getting back into the swing of things... Adjusting to getting up in the morning and running 2 miles, eating right, and keeping track of what i eat will be worth.... Not to mention when my husband comes home from war, i dont want him to fall backwards when i jump on him, dont wanna injure him ya know. :) But i know that i will feel better, look better, and have more confidence than i have ever had if i can get rid of the extra 60 im carrying around. Adjusting to new things is certainly hard, all of our lives change with reason, and all we can do is follow the path and learn to adapt. I truely think that God likes to test us, to see what we will do in certain situations, whether it will benefit us spiritually or hurt us. We grow in our relationship with him just by making the right decisions and living like he wants us to do. Never be afraid to change, sometimes change is good. As i said about faith in an earlier post, its something we believe without actually having to see for ourselves. Change is scary because we dont know what will happen, whether it be good or bad. But trust that God is in control, and that even if our lives change for the better or worse, it will ALWAYS work itself out. As for the diet, im doing it not only for me, but for Jonathan. I wanna spend as many years as possible with him... i wanna be here, and if i have to give up fried chicken for it, i guess i just will...... Continue to pray for Jonathan and all the 204th... less than 300 days to go.

"And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change
and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."Matthew 18:3 (NIV)

With alotta love....
