Learning to Lean....

I am a control freak...I know it and I have been working really really really hard at learning to not control everything and let God take control. Today an old monster reared its ugly head and I have spent all day trying to figure out how to fix the problem. But then I realized I don't have to fix the problem, I need to let God fix the problem. I have tried to fix this problem for several years and I obviously cannot fix it. Matthew 19:26 says:

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Therefore I am giving this situation fully over to you Lord. You know my needs, their needs and what would be best according to your will!

I also am feeling a little down because my business is not taking off like I want it to. I am having such great success with Body by Vi and feel so good - I want others to join me. I can look in the mirror and start to see the work the Lord is allowing. So instead of worrying about this as well...I am going to let it go to God. I know this is where he wants me and what He wants me doing.  Jeremiah 29:11 states:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

So on this Easter Sunday, I am returning my worries to my risen Savior. He did not suffer in vain - it is me who needs to learn to lean!!!

Body by Vi

I haven't posted a lot about why I am promoting Body by Vi or about my weight loss journey - so here it goes. I LOVE to eat - I eat when I am happy, sad, bored, stressed etc.... So I got to my biggest weight ever this winter. I was smoking 1/2 a pack a day too. My mom and most of her family died young from heart disease - you would think I would do something right??

My friend Melissa started using Body by Vi and I started. Wow - it was delicious. I am NOT hungry - I don't miss my sweets - and I had a sweet tooth. I got so excited I decided to promote it. I LOVE teaching - do not get me wrong - but with the way education is going - can I see myself doing it for another 15-10 years - No way. But I can make money at this - while I am helping others to change their lives?? Yes please.

I have met a wonderful group of people. A lot of them love the Lord just like I do - But the best thing is that I am starting to feel better about myself. I have lost 17 pounds and almost 14 inches. I can work out every day - I can even run a little.

I can't wait to see where this journey takes me!!!
