Off and running

Fall is here,hear the yell
back to school,ring the bell
brand new shoes,walking blues
climb the fence,books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Well school is back in session. On one hand i love it because i enjoy having some time with the kids all out of the house but on another note i find myself racing around all day to get things done. Plus i am stepping up my workouts now that i have some kid free moments.
The Rock is doing really well better than i thought. The other 3 are in the right place as well i feel that in every fiber of my being. In the schools honor code it states Harmony school expects the highest degree of personal integrity at all times from all students. PRAISE GOD! If only the rest of the world felt that integrity was that important.
I have been cutting carbs and leaving off the sugar trail at a slow but steady pace as not to fall off the wagon to hard or shock the system. With as much as i enjoy baking i wont be quitting that any time soon as its a stress reliever but i just wont be able to eat my creations like i used too.....
Tomorrow is the big day, our 10 year anniversary. How time flies when your having fun.
The thing that i think people dont understand is our marriage is a combination of blessing hard work and baby dust . We love the Lord we love each other and we love our babies. We also love to work hard for all those we care and love. This has been the glue that keeps us together.....love. We have had some pretty tough times in the past few years , times that have tried our patience and strength but we chose not to let it get the best of us. Make no mistake its a choice. You have to get up every day knowing that and continue to choose love above all else.
My heart stands today a testament to the great love that God put in my life , it is still beating for my husband stronger than ever. He takes my breath away on a daily basis for so many many reasons......i feel saved and strong by what we have and i cant wait to see where the next 10 years leads us to.
As i worked the elliptical machine i could not help but let my mind drift to the whole idea that its almost silly that we pursue happiness through the way our body looks. Our body will fail us , so while your at it try to perfect your heart as well.
Cause the day will come when wrinkled and old nobody will care anymore how many crunches they completed , they will be wishing they read more bedtime stories to their children. I think physical fitness and losing weight is great and i am trying to see this off to the 40 pounds iv been asked to lose. But as i have prayed on this more has been revealed to me. And that revelation is that we are a society of extreme. Woman who are killing themselves in the name of a size 2 jeans. Your self worth should not come in only a size 2. There is a happy medium. slow and steady wins the race. I am not going to deny myself dessert i just cant have it every night. Sometimes you have to stand as a rock among all the water, letting it divide around you parting and passing , but not dividing you.
I am so tired tonight , whoever said excercise gives you
more energy doesnt live on my planet. :)

Round
is the world
long fingers reaching out
trying to grasp on
to anything
that means
something
To feel
just to feel
Wanted to play piano
but instead
became a composer
for love

goodnight and sleep tight tonight.

S.O.T.D. Better a poor man who lives with integrity than a rich man who distorts right and wrong (Prov. 28:6).
