Final Weigh In

So my final weigh in for soar into shape is tomorrow, I would go today, but still sick and don't feel like making all the kids go with me. The good news is that I did reach my goal. I lost 10 pounds. I am so proud of myself. I have to decide what my next goal will be as I still have some more changes I want to see.
So I did read my testimony on Sunday. I was very nervous but Shawn said you couldn't tell. I got baptised and I felt like a new person. I am so glad I did it finaly. Brittney wants to get baptised now, and I am so glad at the questions I am getting from Abby. She has a memory like a sponge and is remembering everything I tell her. I love that at night she would want me to sing 4 songs to tuck her in, now every night I ask her what song and the only one she wants is "Jesus loves me".

I really hope I can instill in my children the love for Jesus that my parents did for me. I know they aren't very religious, but I know I have loved Jesus for as long as I can remember because they taught me about him. They prayed with me, until they thought I was old enough to do it on my own. my life did change and I did turn from God, but they did give me an awesome foundation in loving Jesus.

So Shawn will have to have surgery again, for sure. He is on the wait list for a cadaver peice, and then they are going to cut into his leg under his knee, break his leg, put in a metal wedge, and then screws and a plate. I have a feeling he will be down for a while. They are looking at doing this in about 3 months, but that is just a guess, as it could happen at anytime. I am praying this will not affect out trip to Maine this year, we won't know until it is time to leave though.

Our trip to Minneapolis was great, other then my being sick. I couldn't do as much as I had wanted to, but we did still have a good time. I am not sure if our Easter Service will be podcast or not, or if you will be able to hear the part of my testimony, but if it is I will share if anyone wants to hear it. It is a short version of it. My story is much longer then I was able to share at Church, but I think I got the main point out. I know God is with me, I am not alone and he does love me.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter.
