Reflecting on My Birthday!

I just celebrated my Birthday with my Family! Birthdays are a Great time to Reflect on Goals and Memories. This last year has been one of the hardest I have lived with my daughter's accident, losing my youngest brother to alcohol and drugs, losing the Mother of his children in a car accident, losing my Father to a heart attack. My Father's heart was broken, losing his youngest son how he did. Yet God has shown himself Merciful and Full of Grace! I am so thankful to my Lord and Savior for carrying me through all things. Now I have started the 90 Day Challenge with my good friend and Coach, Dodi and 21 days later, as of June 6th, happy to report losing 5 1/2 inches, including 2 inches from my waist and 2 inches from my hips. I feel better, have more energy and am taking control of my Health! I am now helping others reach their Health & Fitness Goals! So Fulfilling!

Motion of Mercy, Francesca Battistelli

I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help
I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave Yourself Away

(Chorus) That's the Motion of Mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the Motion of Mercy
Moving my Heart

Now I'm filled by a love
That calls me to action
I was empty before now I'm drawn to Compassion
And to give myself away
Living for the lost
Loving ‘til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That's the Motion of Mercy
God give me strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that's coming soon

God Works All Things Out For Good for Those Who Love Him...

I've gone thru a lot of transitioning: First the Mother of my neices, (my brother's daughters) was in a fatal accident. One of my neices had to have surgery on her hip. She walks with a little bit of a limp and is lucky she is alive after flying out of the sunroof of the car.

Then my half-brother, (my Father's son from second marriage) passed on and is in heaven with our Lord. Tragically not yet 35 years old; he was an alcoholic and was addicted to drugs. God was so awesome in His Mercy & Lovingkindness as He gave Isaac the opportunity to get his Heart Right with God and spend his last days with his family. He was in & out of the hospital for about a month. His last days, my nephew and neices and his sisters brought their guitars and we sang hymns and praises to God. On the last day, the nurses who were like Angels, helped create a book for his two daughters and son with Isaac's handprints and theirs. During his last hours as he passed on peacefully, we sang Praises unto God. It was Glorious as we could feel the presence of God in the room. Truly God showed Himself True to His Word that He Works All Things Out For Good For Those Who Love Him.
