What started with a bang may be ending with fizzle. It's hard to keep this blog up to date with five kids, homeschooling, a broken dishwasher, winter and life consuming my energies. I'm trying to decide if I should sporadically post or stop altogether. Spunky Homeschool's conclusion really touched a nerve with me and I know that God is starting up other very worthwhile things in my life. Pray for me that I clearly know what to do.

But until I do shut the doors, I want to share with you the biggest thing I've been doing over the last year to save space: I've been losing weight. I've lost over 50 pounds in the last 12 months and I have a ways yet to go. This saves space because my smaller clothes take up less room and my family doesn't have to squeeze around my belly. My system is eating sensibly, few second helpings, no desserts and strenuous exercising at least three times a week. I have a treadmill and weight set in the basement that I consider my silent partners in health and in worship since my exercise time is often my devotions time.

My goal for 2007 is go acheive my goal weight (150 pounds) and to write the first draft of a novel. Both goals are life long dreams and I would solicit prayer for endurance and focus on each of them. I turn 40 in 2008 and I would love to start this season of life with those two things behind me!
