Merry Christmas

I have to say my week did not start out great.   I was not really in the Christmas spirit, but was making an effort for my kids.  Although I might have seemed jolly, and happy I was not feeling it on the inside.  Last night as I was wrapping the last of my gifts for my kids and watching Miracle on 34th Street, I realized I was the one choosing to be in "Grinch" mood.  Nobody was putting there it was my choice.  I was not focusing on any of the positive's that had happened only the one negative.   Right then and there I decided I needed to take a few minutes for me and just pray.  I had neglected that the past couple days in all the craziness.  So I literally got down on my knees and just gave it all to God.  I mean the true meaning of CHRISTmas is Jesus Christ coming to earth for me.  Once I was done praying I had the sense of "its all ok" feeling and everything else did not matter. 

I have been that way ever since.  It truly is a blessing to be a daughter of Jesus Christ.  He will always provide for me, regardless if I can not physically see how He is working in my life, He always is. 

We can choose to be in a "Grinch" mood, we can choose to be happy, go-lucky, and jolly on the outside but feel completely empty on the inside. I was empty for so long in the inside, and not only did I suffer from it, but my family did too.  I have been reflecting on that this Christmas season, and realizing how truly blessed I am to have a family that regardless of my "deadness" they still loved me and supported me. 

So here is to a year full of blessings, me reaching a weight of 184lbs, giving me 4 pounds to get rid of and I will have reached 100lbs gone.  And huge satisfaction in knowing I only have 39lbs to shed and I have reached my goal weight!!!!

2014 cannot come soon enough.  It is going to be an EPIC year of transformations!!!

Who's going to join the awesomeness that is about to take place across America!!!

Once again Merry Christmas, and many blessings to all my family, extended family, friends, and facebook friends.  May you all feel the blessings this holiday season!
