Alex and I are no longer bound to Bakersfield with a house. We got out of our house in June -just 6 days shy of 6 years. It was emotional -to say the least- but now we are free from a mortgage in a terrible housing market where we saw no end in sight.
I am beginning tomorrow to pray for God's will for us and Hawaii. I have prayed, for sure! But I am going to commit and journal for 40 days about what I feel God is speaking to me about it. So for the next 40 days I will journal (blog) on here-as much as I can- about the 40 days of praying about Hawaii.
Additionally, I am beginning a serious diet tomorrow. I want very much to start running again. But I have not taken enough weight off since I tried to run last year to really feel safe trying again. I need to drop 20 pounds before I can safely subject my knees to running again. I cannot express how painful it was last summer. The thought of the pain reoccurring haunts me, but I love running and I love the idea of completing at least a half marathon by age 35 too much to give up all-together!
So if you are finding my blog for the first time or visiting it again -stay tuned. The next 40 days will be an adventure. I will do my best to make it interesting, real -raw even- and worth your while to read.
I hope at the end of the 40 days to drop at least 10 pounds and to know what God's will for us and Hawaii is. I hope it's to live there, but I want His will more than mine -truly- and I will be okay if He tells me we are not to live there. I just hope if that's what He tells me He also tells me that He wants me to vacation there!!! :-)
For the next 40 days of praying when I blog about that I will name each entry with a reference to the day(s) of praying I am on. Regarding the diet I am going on I will make references to "health" and or "food" or "diet."
I am going to write my first diet entry now...
Aloha!
