wow so my last post was in July...its been 6 months...I'm ashamed that I haven't kept up with this. Not only have I not kept up with the blogging but I also haven't kept up with the weight loss. I did weigh myself today and I proudly I have not gained any weight, but by now I hoped to have lost more than just the original 6 or so pounds.

Well now that it is a New Year (2010), I feel that I need a New Start to my life. A LOT has changed in my life since July, allow me to update you...

-I got accepted into Grad School, Saint Paul School of Theology, I am attending full time in hopes to gain my Master of Divinity Degree.

-I moved from my parents house into an apartment on Campus, with my lil son Nate, we're loving having our own space!

-I bought a car! 2000 Saturn SL2, its a small car but its a good car!

-Nate turned 2 and he's growing like a weed, he's lean and tall, the 2t's are too short for his legs, yet the 3t's are too big around his waist...

-Most recently I got 2 new jobs, I am the Director of Children's Ministry at at Church in KC MO and I also am now the new Director of Summer Adventure at a different church in KC MO.

WOW thats a ton of stuff!! and I have been a very busy woman.

In preperation for my MDiv Degree I have been reading a lot about John Wesley and the early Methodist Movement, as a born and bred methodist I have gotten a lot of inspiration and motivation from reading about this, which has sparked my interest in blogging again...

John Wesley devoted his life to dicipline, waking up at 4 or 5 am preached a sermon by 6am, preached again the noon hour and preached yet again in the evening hour. This is very inspiring to me, he woke early and worked hard, and woke early again every day like this.

This speaks to me because my lil 2 year old son doesn't not know what "sleeping in means" no matter how late I put him to bed he still wakes up ready to play between 4:30-5:30 AM, I usually am not a big morning person, however have been inspired to make myself a morning person and get with the game and embrace the early mornings much like John Wesley did.

I hope to make the most of my mornings, do a devotion/scripture reading/and prayer/and some good quality 2 year old time before I rush out to do class or work or church... I need some sort of accountability, because I fear that I will succomb to my flesh and nap on the couch like i've been doing this past year...any suggestions??

Hope you all have a blessed day!
