April Fool's

Maybe I am a fool for taking on so many changes to begin on one day but, regardless we are trying and here it goes. April 1 I am making a change. I am starting my weight loss journey (to shed this lazy and left-over baby weight), I am starting training for a (or many) half marathons, I am getting back into the habit of saving my family money through cost cutting measures and smart shopping, I am making a point to turn off the TV and computer so it is not a distraction from the life that is happening around me. I am taking a new outlook on how I approach my days. When I wake up in the morning, even if I may be exhausted and worn down, I am hitting my feet on the ground as the sun comes up with joy in my heart and praise on my lips that the Lord blessed me with another morning to love on my kids and provide a peaceful sanctuary for my family. I feel like recently the Lord has been on my heart and pointing me in almost every direction towards the Proverb about the noble woman. I know it is crazy high ambition to be like the Lord's noble woman, but everywhere I turn I see this verse in my life and I am, for the very first time in my life, listening closely to what God wants me to do and who He wants me to be. I am going to take care of my body, mind and soul. I am going to provide for my family without earning a dollar from working outside the home. I will make my family a home they can call "peaceful," "harmonious," "blessed," and "loving."
