I don't know why my post won't show up, so I'm trying it again!
We've been home since August 5th, and I guess it's time to start blogging again. Did anyone miss me?
As I mentioned in my previous post, I had mini-gastric-bypass surgery on 7/5. I have lost 31 lbs. so far, and I'm thrilled! Gone is my bear-like snoring! I can actually sleep through the night - and Louie can too! I look forward to lots more pounds lost! I'll post some pics when I get Louie to take some new ones.I think we left the door open when we returned from Florida, 'cause it's sure been hot here in the mountains. Of course it's nothing like Florida, and at least we have the cool nights and mornings. Even with the heat, it's so good to be home. The mountains are green and beautiful and there is nothing like being in your own home after a long time away!
Our best friends, Mike and Peggy, have moved to the mountains also and we are so happy. They actually live about an hour from us, but that's better than 11 hours. We've been to see them several times already. We know that the Lord has brought them here, and look forward to the direction He gives them for ministry. Mike has left "full time" ministry as a profession, but that just leaves room for God to open other doors so that Mike and Peggy can both fulfill their calling in new ways!
Our lives are constantly changing and moving in ways we don't expect. That's the hand of God in motion, bending and shaping us into the image He has prepared. My goal is to stay open, flexible, and expectant, with my ears, eyes and heart tuned to Him and His direction. It's exciting to know that the Creator of the Universe has a heart for me, and wants to include me in what He's doing here on our little rock. Glory!
