This weekend consisted of 6 sweet 7th graders, lots of sleepless nights, and a WHOLE lot of fun! I was a leader for Collierville First Baptist's DNOW, and not only able to pour into young lives but learn a lot myself.
The theme of the entire weekend was "All In"and one thing that really shook me to the core were the words Hillsong released and Burgundy Road presented,
"My heart will sing, no other name, Jesus, Jesus".
For a long time, I have focused most of my energy on people and/or things thinking I needed to or that that would finally be it, but nothing deserves that but God alone. Thankfully, He is hard at work in me and I am learning to trust and let Him be the center of everything, ... for no one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24) All to Him I owe. It's a journey. But a fabulous one. He will provide. Joy. Peace. Happiness. I just must wait!
"Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart"
Psalm 37:4
"...we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28
"The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me."
Psalm 138:8
These verses bring me comfort. The Lord hid them for me in the love letter of all love letters He left for His people. How good that is to my soul.
In addition to our times of sweet worship and fellowship, we had a ton of adrenaline rushing fun thrown in. Our own version of the Amazing Race provided laughs, memories, and even some exercise!!! My girls declared, "Can we do this once a month??" I wish, oh, I wish.

On to something quite scary...!
From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, most of you know is Lent. And although this has never been emphasized in the church I grew up in, I was challenged by a friend (one of those things you just can't turn down) & I feel like it will be good no matter what!
Soo... Drum Roll, please...
No dessert from now until April 4, 2012.
Oh My!!! What have I gotten myself into??
If you know my love of sweets, you will be scared too!
On the food/exercise hoopla, I didn't track this weekend, indulged a few to many times, and worked out once, but kept my portions small! It's all about balance, right? I am excited to say I weighed in at 140.8 on Monday, though!!
As always, thanks for reading...
Praying for strength and guidance,
