Revelation

What a gorgeous day here on Okinawa! This afternoon we took the kids to Bryson's favorite park off base called, "Sunabe Baba." The park is adjacent from the East China Sea. To my surprise we arrived and not only was the park packed, but the ocean was packed with surfers riding the waves. What a blessed opportunity I had to spend a little quality time with Shymaya in the jogging stroller walking along the Sunabe Wall with the waves crashing in while my boyz were off frockling.

Okinawans are a parculiar people and so different from the Japanese on the mainland. Their days seem lazy and free! No matter where Shymaya and I went she drew attention from everyone. The little kids wanted to touch her and the older Okinawan women wanted to hold her. Did I let them? Of course I did. 

All this walking around and for the first time EVER I nursed Shymaya in public discreetly without a nursing shaw. (I forgot and left it back at the car) I never nursed Bryson without the shaw so I was very nerous with Shymaya. I know breastfeeding and changing diapers in public places is very frown upon, but oh well. Soooo, I got to nurse my precious baby while watching a magnificatn sunset (which I DID get pictures of).

As strange as this may seem for a place of SUCH isolation it is also a great place of freedom. Freedom in such a way that weight is beginning to peel off my body and as I begin to feel more like myself again. God is really the one who get the credit. Everything IS possible with Christ and it is up to me to place one foot forward and put it into action.

My weight loss progress is slow, but most importantly it is healthy and I feel fabulous. Perhaps hearing the waves crash upon the shore gets me into this kind of mood. :-) No wonder why I loved getting married in Hawaii.

More to come
