Trying Something New

I have thought about this for several days and decided to try something completely different.  I will be 31 on 31!  Instead of weighing myself everyday, I am not going to weigh myself until my birthday, August 31st.  Yep, that is right.  I am not going to weigh myself for two and a half months.  At least that is what I am going to try to do.  We'll see how it works out.  I may weigh myself at some point this week just to see where I am and then go from there.  Wish me luck!

I have still been running/walking.  Not sure if I posted this previously, but I have also been going at 5am with a friend.  We walk two miles in about 30 minutes.  That is a BIG DEAL for me!  I am NOT a morning person, so this is VERY good for me!  Knowing that my walking partner, Kris, is going to be up and waiting motivates me to get my tail out of bed and get moving.
Our 5am walks have worked out well because Jessica, Lacey and I have not been able to connect several of the days that we were supposed to run.  I still would REALLY like to do C25K though, so I will not give up.  Sorry about my crazy schedule, ladies!

So... it's VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL week!  I have the privilege of working with a group of precious three and four year old children, The Caterpillars, all week.  They are so fun!  I am constantly amazed at how much kids can learn.  They are not given enough credit!

Here is a picture of the outside of our room.  The kids love the taxi, which has a door that opens to go inside the classroom.  All the games, snacks, crafts and decorations are fun, but the REAL reason we are there is to show them and teach them about our awesome savior, Jesus Christ.

Yesterday we learned about a soldier who asked Jesus for help and that  "JESUS LOVED PEOPLE AND HELPED THEM"  -Matthew 14:14




The Faith of a Centurion-
   When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly."  And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."  But the centurion replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.  For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."  When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him,"Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.  I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."  And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.  And the servant was healed at that very moment.  -Matthew 8:5-13
