I must push through.

I am really tired. I am half way through the healthy charleston challenge and I am down right tired. My mentor and trainer said it was normal to be exhausted at this point in the program. I am hoping to get some really good rest this weekend to hopefully get me out of this exhausted funk. Prayer would be greatly appreciated that I would be rejuvenated and that every ounce of my heart will be filled with passion to continue on this journey so that I may glorify God with my body and be a good steward of what he has blessed me with. 

During this program, the Lord has really been revealing his mercy & strength to me. I think he has been trying to reveal it more than I have allowed him to. My pride & focus on myself has definitely got in the way. I know that my success & strength as well as my future success has come from Him and Him only. There is no other way that I could've done it. As I reach the half-way point in the program tomorrow though I find myself getting kind of discouraged. The first five weeks flew by and I know the second 5 weeks will too. I am terrified about progress on my goal after the Healthy Charleston Challenge is over. I am so scared about not having my team, my trainer, the meetings and support. I am just praying so hard that I can find a consistent support afterwards that will take place of this blessing that I have been given. Definitely has been the best thing that I could have EVER done for myself. What a great opportunity and experience the Lord has blessed me with. I am forever grateful. 

The Lord is faithful. This I know and will continue to believe. A while back, I wrote about my foot pain & the need for new shoes... and lack of money. The Lord is little by little providing a way for those shoes to be made possible. It makes me so emotional to even think about how he has provided for me. Why do I ever doubt his provision?  I can be so foolish sometimes. 

So week 5 weigh in is tomorrow-- I am hoping/speaking 4/5 pounds...but we shall see! 

Thanks for reading & for all your love.
