Peace, Be Still!

Hello friends! This week is the big week! Thursday I get to go to sleep and wake up 20lbs lighter. My kind of weightloss!

I have to say God seems to be giving me strength and courage as I seem to be more at peace this week than last. I am still scared and worried about some things but I know God is going to take care of everything! I am pretty sure I will be happy with the outcome but I just hope some of my gym friends won't be dissappointed. I think maybe they have seen too many makeover shows and are expecting me to be thin and I don't think that is ever going to be the case just thinner than I am now - it's all relative. I never thought I would be down to the size I am now so I will be happy with the outcome I think - especially my arms! I can't wait to see the muscle that I've been building up over the past year.

God has also been showing me ways to use this time as a new start and to work on some areas that I need to give to Him. Kinda like doing new years resolutions now and taking care of some internal house-keeping. A couple of people that I need to make things right with, few people I need to see, few things I need to do.

Hank is gonna take a picture on Wednesday and then another after the swelling has all gone down and I'll post them for all to see. I love you all! Kari
