Weighed myself this morning and the scale says 146.5 lbs. Half a pound loss. Yay! After being stuck at 147 for months, I'll talk the half a pound loss.
Oh a side note, we have our church trip to Montreal and well can you just imagine how challenging eating well will be this lonnnggg weekend? I reckon by the end of the weekend that 0.5 loss will be gone and perhaps more. Hoping to counter the food challenges with lots of walking. :)

2011 was such an eventful year. Ministry has kept us very busy with two churches. We have been blessed with an active youth and young adult group. It's been truly a joy learning and growing in Christ with these young people and our small church, Faith Filipino. The joy of fellowship with them has truly been a blessing in my life. As much as I wish we had more down time as a family, son and I enjoy being with my husband and being involve whether it's bible study at the park, cooking with the youth, church retreats, visitations or game nights. 2011 also came with it's challenges but God is so good that the blessings that He has given to each of us far outweighs the difficult times. I'm thankful for a God who has shown me over and over of His love and care. He been so faithful in my life.
I also have to say that I'm most thankful for my family. The one thing 2011 has taught me is to appreciate family. They aren't perfect and even know how to love you but they are family and God gave them to you for a purpose and a blessing. They are gifts from the Lord!
