Sound Tracks & Miracles

it's been a good week. hubby got my bike set up over the weekend, so yesterday i spent 10 minutes on it. i will today also. it's a recumbant bike, so wasn't sure how my tummy would feel about the position post surgery, but it went well. i can definately tell i haven't done anything aerobic for quite some time. it is a start and that is good. i have been logging my food also. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were very telling as to why the scale says what it says. yesterday and today have been under the calorie limit that i've set. score one more for our team!

last week i stopped by hanlie's blog and she talked about changing her sound track... her self talk. i've been thinking about that all week. i think my new sound track is this - don't tell God how big your mountain is, tell the mountain how big your God is. i don't mind saying that i need help in my life - God in my life. a bout with depression at one point in time served me up enough humble pie that i can eat it when i need to now. (i still don't much like the taste, but know it is healthy for me... kinda like brussel sprouts!) so... instead of whining about how hard it is, and what my excuses are, and yadda, yadda, yadda... i think it will be much more helpful to say things like.... "Gluttony, you've been asked to leave." ..."Excuses, you are poorly disguised lies."

Speaking of God... you know my friend who i asked you all to pray for... the one who's husband was dying. well, they got a miracle. his blood counts started going back up. he's off all antibiotics now. they are looking at being able to restart the chemo to fight the cancer. about two weeks ago the doctors gave him 1 1/2 weeks left on this earth. So, if you are inclined, say a "thank you!" on behalf of my friend, Kerry, and her husband and their three little girls. the fourth healing miracle i've witnessed in my life.

how about you? witnessed any miracles???
