Yowza!

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged here..  Partly cuz I don't have a lot to say and partly cuz I don't like to type on my ipad.  So I bought myself a cheapie keyboard to use with the ipad.  Also, I took this page off of my facebook, so I can use this as a pseudo journal now.  I don't really like writing by hand anymore.  I'll just put in my random thoughts.

New Year's Resolutions?  Lose a pound a month by trying to eat only when I'm hungry, and to eat small to moderate portions.  I need to think about my body as more of a temple of God's Holy Spirit... and I can only reach people if I'm alive to do it.  Seems like I have genetics on my side, but I definitely need to lose some poundage.  I figure a pound a month is do-able.

Also, I will be reading through the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs this year, along with the BSF Books of Moses Study.  Next year, I'll read through the Old Testament.  I've done the whole Bible in a year, but I didn't pay attention and skimmed.  I'd like to be more mindful of what I'm reading over the next two years.

Since my last post, the biggest thing that happened was that my dad had heart surgery and almost died from lung complications in July/August 2013.  I prayed that God would just make him comfortable, even if it meant losing him.  It was awful to see him struggle for breath.  Thank God that  He gave Dad more time.  I want badly for Dad to believe again, but I can't force it.  I can only try to let him (and others) see that I am living a life for God first... and pray that God shows Himself to my loved ones.

Let's see if it'll be another 2 years before I post again ;)
