Sorry

Sorry I missed a couple posts, time to fill everyone in. Last couple days have been busy I was at my parents small group leaders house most of Sunday. Yesterday one of my relatives passed away please keep her family in prayer during this hard time. That's all for now I hope God will bless your day!

Praise

Ever since the tornado in the tri-state,  I have seen countless churches and communities come together and rebuild. It is amazing to see all the love these groups have for one another. At first someone might be tempted to think down on the storm, at first I did, but then I realized like everything else in life God is in control. He gives and takes away God was going to take the lives he took regardless of the storm because it is his plan and it was their time. All the damage to these homes is insane to comprehend, but I don't know any families who haven't found someone to help them rebuild or let them stay at their place. Dozens of churches have become red cross centers and their have been countless donations to these people. God is good not only in the storm but especially in the storm! Hope God blesses your day!

Goal accomplished

I know it doesnt really mean much but I just wanted you guys to know today I reached over 500 views for the blog. At first it may seem a shallow goal to shoot for views, but by having views on the blog means there are people out there who actually read it and maybe I am making a difference. So thank you viewers, a special thanks to my viewers in Russia, Germany, & Argentina... Not sure how that happened :)

Daily reading

I am sure you have heard of it's importance before, but I am going to reiterate the importance of reading scripture every day. I like to read a little every morning over night because I find it is better to start the day in scripture so you have that mind set through the day. For those of you who have never taken up daily reading I suggest starting in Romans. If you need someone to hold you accountable or someone to guide you through reading contact me on facebook!

Plateau

Most of you know I have lost a lot of weight, but recently I just kinda stopped  I have been stuck shifting between 362-365. Now this is still good because it is 20 pounds lighter than I used to be, but I would like to keep going. My plan currently is to reduce the amount of strength training I do and increase the cardio exercises. I guess I will let you guys know if things change! :)

Comments

I love it when you guys comment on my posts the feed back really helps me see whos reading my blog and what type of things to talk about. Most of you use some kind of google account or name when you comment so I know who you are, but for those who comment without one could you leave your name so I know who you are? Thanks. oh and this blog is very close to 500 views! (somehow I ended up with some viewers in Russia and Germany, which is awesome!)

Hunger Games

If you are in my book club, you can stop reading here. The Hunger Games were on a list of books (including Twilight) that I told myself I would never read. This prejudice statement was based solely on the fact that all the people I knew who liked Hunger Games also liked Twilight which I can't stand the thought of. Well for book club it was on our book list, thus I had to read it. The first week were supposed to read the first seventy pages or so... It was so bad I could only force 30, the next week was 100 pages at which point I instead read 340 pages. I finished the book in one day, thoroughly enjoying it. My favorite character was Peeta by far his life was very relatable to me. Least favorite character Katniss read the book and you can probably figure it out. I recommend this book to anyone who is not super easily offended.
