one day at a time.

I just thought I would share that Tyler had rice cereal for the first time. It was hilarious. I have a video and I will post it when Tanya sends it to me. Poor guy, he hated it!!



So the 27th was Jasons 24th birthday. what an old man! ;0) I spent the day looking for running shoes, size 14. I went to 6 different places! Poor Tyler was not very happy about that. Anyway, that's what he wanted. He has been running almost everyday in his regular shoes and I cant imagine that being very comfortable. I'm really proud of him though. last time he checked he lost 17 lbs. so he is doing good. Why do men lose weight so fast? I work my butt of and only lose a couple pounds. Oh well, slow but surely I guess.
So there are some new life changes going on right now. It was really hard in the beginning and there was a lot of drama about it. I'm sure people got hurt by it because I know it hurts me.. But its getting easier. I've prayed a ton about it and I really feel like its where God is leading me. So I know its the right thing. So there is a Jeremy Camp song that really means a lot to me. I could take it verse by verse and relate it to my life right now. So you can read it or not. its up to you. Its in color. so Just pass it by if you don't want to read it.

One day at a time I will walk this road I've traveled so far
One day at a time well I know I will carry on
One day at a time I can see you took my life this far
One day at a time I will take this faith along
All this hope I breathe is given by the hand that carries meUntil I'm complete
and I'll take all I will To understand this plan you have for me, for me

I've been shut up shut down held out held down
In ways I never knew I would But I can feel your fullness in my life
Well I've been burned out broken torn out torn down
In ways I never knew I would
But I can feel your fullness in my life
one day at a time
one day at a time
I will take these words you've given me
One day at a time I will rest in knowing you
One day at a time I will share this gift you've given me
One day at a time I will walk these valleys through

And all I know is that I see
How much my heart is longing to be cradled by your side
Yeah, I'll give all I can
To one day soon be held by your hand, by your hand
In all these things I will press on, yeah
I'll be with you I know it won't be long
so you can see where what im getting right? Things change in life all the time. Its easier for some people, and for others its heart wrenching. I just happen to be the second person. Change is not easy for me. especially when it means losing people who mean the world to me. But just like the song says. " one day at a time, I will rest in knowing you" That's the great thing about God. He will ALWAYS be there. and I have complete faith in that. And its true. I will Take all he has to give me until I understand the plan he has for me. Only because I know its way better then mine. Even if I never understand it, I know its better. Anyway, I feel good about life right now. And let me tell you, that is a great feeling. There are some things that still need to be dealt with, but I know that God will give me the right words to speak and understanding to handle these situations. At least I pray that he will.
On to the weight loss. Ive lost a total of 25 lbs. Tan, my sisters and I have been going to the gym a lot lately. Its been nice. I cant wait until Tyler is 5-6 months, then I can take him to the day care there and work out. Then I will try to go about 6 times a week. So there ya go. That's about it on that. I will keep ya updated though.

Tyler is so stinkin' cute...man, what a good kid. I hope that you're having fun with him, and that you're not too lonely hanging out all day by yourself. I know that feeling...it's killer.

As for me, I'm good! How are you doing on the Bible reading? I haven't seen you in forever, so this is me encouraging you...keep it up!

And I don't know what all your "drama" is (not downplaying it, just needed a word...) but I hope that it clears up soon, and that God rewards you with wisdom. I'll be praying for you!
