Women\’s Retreat 2012

I was just sitting in Dairy Queen with my \”family\” and we were talking about riding horses at Skyview.  I realized that in 4 months and 3 weeks I will be at the ladies retreat at Skyview.  It hit me that if I stay at this current weight I will not be able to even really walk from the cabins to the main dining hall for sessions, let alone do anything else around camp. I have never been able to ride one of the horses, I can\’t do the zip line, I can\’t even hardly walk up or down the stairs. 

So, I have created a calender so I can mark off the days.  I have a pretty messed up right ankle and knee so the only exercising I can really do is water.  I will start that tomorrow night.  I have to go to the grocery and will get healthy stuff.  I have to do this.  Not so I can get around camp, not so I can ride a horse, not so I can even zip line but so that I can live, I can walk, I can do what the Lord has in store for me.  One of my friends put someone on his facebook status about how glutony is as much a sin as other things that seem to divide the country.  Well, he is right.  The Bible is clear on that.  I don\’t want to be disobedient.  I have to do this for Him.

Please pray that I can take it one meal at a time again and use Skyview as one of my first big rewards for losing the weight.

God Bless,
Karen
