Good bye strepp!

What an eventful weekend. I just began feeling truly back to normal this morning when I woke up. I could swallow and not feel a sharp stinging pain- yay!! Friday night was quite a blessing at our leadership meeting as I recieved some unexpected cards, popcicles and a purse size Bible- how cool! My sweet friends new how bad my throat was so they sang happy birthday and presented a tray of delicious popcicles! yummmy! We also celebrated the servanthood of two precious friends- Kirsten and her hubby Jeremy who had launched the MP3 student ministry at EFC about 3 years ago. They have faithfully guided our teens and have helped mold them into amazing young people. My own precious daughter was greatly influenced by them. When we came to EFC, Anna was just going into 6th grade (the youngest to be in the student ministry group)...now, Anna is preparing to go into highschool and into a new phase of life. They were there to help set a solid foundation for her during these crazy teen years....John and I will be forever grateful!!!! Kyle and Kim Burke will be taking over the student ministry and we are pumped to see what God does through them too :) I know it will be astounding!!!
Side note- Happy Anniversary to Jeremy and Kirsten today!!!! May God truly bless your marriage and take you to new heights and understanding of how much HE loves you 2 :)

My eating over the weekend- average... pretty good actually considering it was my bday weekend. I have eaten at The Beef House, Bruno's and The Cheesecake Factory...yes, I'm spoiled :) I feel good about it all...I made small, better choices than last year and I plan to walk alot over the next few days :)

I will continue to pray for each of you who have asked for prayer in the health areana :)
One day, one moment at a time...it's a journey my friends :)
loveyou all!!!
