What we've been up to

The days seem to pass so quickly at the moment, I guess because it is winter and the nights are becoming darker much earlier. Aviva and I have been so busy! We managed to buy a huge amounts of books very cheaply lately so have been sitting by the heater and just reading in the evenings.I love to finish of the day by reading Psalms and so Aviva had taken it upon herself to memorize the book of Psalms, I thought this somewhat a bit much for her but then thought who am I to discourage this, so away she goes day by day and it is beautiful to hear.

Last week Aviva, my Mum and I went off to see the Monet exhibition and given half the chance I would have stayed there all week. I have read various books on Monet's paintings but no photo can ever give them justice. They were so amazingly beautiful and his use of colour literally took my breath away. Lately I have found myself daydreaming about his paintings :)

And today I stand two months after I started my plan to change my weight, 22 pounds lighter and two dress sizes down. I have people commenting how did you do it? And this is something that I will be writing a lot more about in the future but last night I attended my first dance class, it was so much fun!! I am still at the beginning of my journey in losing weight really but I have realised it doesn't have to be a hard and boring journey!

I am having so much fun catching up on every ones blogs! I continue to feel so grateful to catch glimpses of such beautiful lives that bring such honor and glory to God.

Oh Dance class would be so much fun!! Truly... Is it ballet?? I always wanted to be a ballerina!! I'm sure I just spelled both of those wrong...

I hope you journey continues to be full of joy, not just for weight loss, but for life too.

I know I've been really focused on finding my Boaz, but I'm beginning to try to keep my eyes truly just focused on Jesus. If we seek him first then everything else will fall into place... So I'm trying to keep my eyes glued. It is hard. But turning the TV off and spending more time in the word of God is helping me. I've decided that my new moto is going to be that if I can keep my eyes on Jesus then he can just led me right into Boaz, if that is his will ;O)

Blessing today!
