News

Kaleab is here! She is gorgeous! You can see more pics and read a heart-felt account of the trip to Ethiopia at http://www.bringingmercyhome.blogspot.com/.

Also, I now officially help write for the women's ministry blog at Southland Christian Church. I just posted! It's titled "The Value of Ashes" and you can find it at http://women.southlandchrisitan.org/. ("Our Life Stories" link to the right)

In other news, I will be giving my "fat story" in OA on Sat, Dec 20. I cringe but I'm looking forward to it. I've been in denial way too long and it's time to really say the things I want to hide. I'll tell you, never have I've been so reserved, so scared, so unwilling to be open, honest, and transparent...and it doesn't matter if you're my parent, sibling, best friend, therapist, accountability partner or sponsor...not even God in some cases. Most of the time I won't even let my thoughts get honest with my eating issues. A wrecking ball won't even work, but hooray that God has some mysterious enzyme that will dissolve my obstinacy. Ew. I'd rather gauge out an eye I think.

I'm 3 months into my job now and I still enjoy it. God daily gives me something to be grateful for.

Well friend, that's all I have for tonight! 12 Days until Christmas!!! YIPEE!
