God is soooo good..

Well..gotta give an update on Sam's job situation. Last week one of the attorneys he works with ask him for a copy of his resume..On Monday Sam got a call from a law-firm that had received his resume (not from Sam but from Frank the attorney)..and wanted to talk with him. So, on Tuesday Sam talked with them. Today he got a phone call and was offered a job with them!! Then they began to talk about money/benefits..well, Sam had just asked for what he presently makes..well, they offered him a salary INCREASE!!!

That is just how good my God is!! When He does something He does it big!! I am so thankful that MY footsteps are ordered by him!!!

Feeling very accomplished...

Things have been busy around here in '09, but I must say we are getting things accomplished. Sam and I sat down after Christmas a made a list of things we wanted to do this year and things we wanted to change. The top of that list was to remodel our kitchen. We have gotten the cabinets finished, now it is onto the re-painting and then to lay the cermaic tile. I am very pleased so far. It is amazing how a little paint will change the look of a room.

We are always still on the 'healthy' bandwagon. As of this morning I have lost 27 lbs. I still have a ways to go to get to my goal..but I am taking it one day at a time. I thing when I complete this weightloss..I will have to write a cookbook! I have gotten so creative with food. I have always cooked like I was raised..lots of frying and lots of bread!! I have had to change all that..I haven't had a piece of bread in 6 weeks. That is a BIG deal for me..I am not a sweet eater but I love my Bread and Potatoes..oh by the way, haven't had potatoes eaither! Around Christmas I began reading a book on Fasting by Jentzen Franklin..and I think I really began convicted about my weight. So, it has became a spiritual issue for me. People have asked me, "Amy, you seem to have sooo much will power"..it isn't will power it's a God-thing. I work out 6 days a week, and basically eat healthy. Lots of chicken and fish and fresh vegetables and fruit. I think I have finally realized what it means when God speaks about our body being the temple! I am not getting healthy to fit in those 'skinny jeans'..I am getting healthy because it is not only the right thing to do for my family, but it's the right thing to do for my spiritual body!

Update on Sam and the job search..he had one interview yesterday. So, we will see how that turns out. We are at peace and we know that God is going to take care of us. I am actually kind of anxious to see how this turns out! We are in complete and totally trust in God! The other side of this mountain, I know, is beyond my expectations!!
