Thank you 2010!!!

What a year 2010 has been for me. I have truly leaned on the Lord and trusted in him fully. He required me to get out of my comfort zone and required me to make some hard choices.

I had to leave some "friends" behind, I changed where I lived, I moved into a new home, I had to change where I worshiped, received many offers for my business, all of these decisions where hard, but I trusted in what the Lord was doing in my life and followed his direction. Because of this my life has prospered in so many ways.

As I move into 2011, it will be my time to move into the manifestation of the promise God has given me. I am ready and so excited and what he has planned.

I chose this picture because it shows how I feel, it is as if God shined down his light just for me and I grew into a beautiful flower.

In 2010 I laid the foundation, so in 2011 watch me be victorious!!!!

My mom and son

Today was alot of fun, Malcolm and I met with my mom and had lunch. This of course thrilled Malcolm because he "loves" his Nano. We always laugh alot, smile alot and have a great time. We decided to go to Olive Garden and the food was so good. It took me back years when I use to love the Olive Garden because I would eat so much (especially the bread). But now I can eat only a little of the salad and the meal itself. After lunch of course my stomach hurt, I didn't get to finish all of my meal (but I never do) but meals are no longer what they use to be. I use them more as an opportunity to talk and socialize. Not come just to eat because I don't enjoy it like I once did. Because of my surgery (gastric bypass) the food no longer becomes enjoyable it's just what you have to do to live. It was a great day and nothing was better than seeing my mom with my son (who at the age of 10 is just as tall as my mom).

If you haven't spent time with family do so soon!!!

Christmas 2010

Christmas was wonderful this year. It was good to be with family and friends. I felt comfortable and energetic while playing with my niece, nephew and son. I loved wearing my jeans as well as my form fitting shirt. For many this would be no big deal but for me the girl that once weighed 450 pounds I felt like everybody else. And for someone who suffered from morbidly obesity it was great.

Many ask me what it is like to loose over 200 pounds. The only way I can explain it is to section it off in experiences. Whether it's wanting to take pictures, wearing jeans,putting on my seatbelt, playing on the floor with my son, that's the beauty of loosing the weight, not just loosing the weight itself.

Christmas 2010 felt great and was fullfilling!!!

Malcolm's Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas we had. About 2 years ago I made the decision that Malcolm could have no more than 4 gifts for Christmas so that he could understand Christmas isn't about him but about Christ. So Santa bought him a wrestling belt, Tex deck skate boards, a skate pool, PSP and 3 games (I know it's over 4) but he did really well this year.

He was so excited and appreciated everything. We began the morning with thanking GOD for his ultimate gift, his son. We blessed him for all of the many blessings he has given us this year and we had a wonderful day. It was great and exciting for him.

Merry Christmas!!!

Gingerbread house

For Christmas my son decided he wanted to create a gingerbread house. I thought well how hard could it be? IT WAS EXHAUSTING!! It was so much work we had no idea what we were doing but the most important thing was that we bonded. We worked together and the house came out great.

As always I think back to my old life while we were working. I had the energy to help him, we did everything on the floor, my patience was there and we had fun.

Something like this may be ordinary for someone else but for me I think how wonderful God is for allowing me to be healthy enough to share this time with my son.
