i'm the tortoise!!!

Slow and steady wins the race...

If you look at my weight loss, you see that it's moving kinda slow. 

BUT...

It's moving in the right direction!  And I am encouraged.  I'm also excited because I do not currently have any knee issues, any flu issues, any pink eye issues, and I even have a little time!  And so...I can actually go to the gym!  I am excited about taking a swim tomorrow afternoon.  I plan to pray my way through my laps.  I will think on an attribute of God for each leg of the pool.  I think I'll save the really cool ones for the end, when the laps take longer, so I have more time to ponder. 

In other news, I'm still a little jaded about the roommate's new boyfriend.  I think it's getting a little better, but I'm still not totally thrilled or impressed.  I'm trying to be patient with him, but boy does he test me!!!  I know that it is going take him longer to let me get to know him, but I do see that he is trying a little bit.  So, there's some hope there.

I'm super excited that it's the weekend, y'all!!!  I have some lunch plans for Friday and Saturday, and I've scheduled plenty of downtime for relaxing and studying.  I'm just so glad I made it through the week, and I'm thankful for the life that I do have.  It really is a good life, hard at times, but good.  God is definitely taking care of me and providing the finances, the people, the determination, the patience, the peace that I need.  I cannot imagine my life without Him.
