Hooray!!!!!

I did it ....finally! I walked this morning 1 1/2 miles around my neighborhood. Today is a new day and His mercies are new every day. I must apologize to the ladies that I had asked to walk with me on Tues. at the mall- I really do feel bad to let you all down! You all are welcome to come out to my house to walk around my neighborhood with me instead.
I know I'm on the right path to a closer relationship with God because I can see Him at work as the enemy is trying to attack relationships in my life. I'm quite sad over this. Nonetheless, I am not giving up because true peace comes from staying the course. God never said it was going to be easy.
I am expecting great and mighty things from God. I KNOW He is at work in me and around me. He is God alone...He is on the throne and HIS will will be done. I need to stay out of His way and just be a tool in His hands. I'm learning that NO matter how I feel about things- I am called to PRAISE God, to give thanks, to worship, to trust, to love. Why? Because it's not about me :) That's hard to say by the way :)
On food, I have eaten 1 scrambled egg and one piece of toast so far, 4 oz. of milk and a glass of water. Please pray that I have victory today in my eating schedule. Winnie mentioned that since the Indy Mini was full that we could map out our own local mini marathon to walk- anyone up for it? I have to stay committed to my word last year!!!!!!
love you all,
k

I'm really proud of you, Kara. Keep pressing into the Lord. You know, whenever we keep our focus on Him, it's amazing how He holds us so tight that we *almost* forget about everything else in the world that isn't sailing as smoothly.

;) LOVE YOU-- be blessed tonight!

Hey Kara,

I missed walking with you on Tues. I was there -- Ella and I had a good time. Are you not going to walk at the mall anymore??

Have a good Thursday!

Yah, Kara! Way to go. Keep walking, even if it is just for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. Every little bit helps you get in shape and sometimes, all we have is just a few minutes.
