TEMPTATION

Love- Jennifer

If you have followed me the past two year on Xanga...thank you!   I know it's been quiet on here for a while now.  I've been changing some things to simplify my life.  One of the things I've been doing is losing weight!  God has convicted my heart on a very deep level about gluttony.  I am blogging about it on my other blog...

So far I have lost a bit over 27 pounds!  Yeah!  It's not been easy at all.  I started a few weeks before the holidays and that made it difficult.  Just so you know I had lost 15 pounds over the few months before that...I haven't lost 27 in one month....I'm not on the Biggest Loser. :)  I am determined to be the best Jennifer I can be!  I have cheated myself and God by putting food and my desires above Jesus Christ.  If you know this is something you struggle with I'd love to support you in any way I can!  I would suggest picking up the book "Love to Eat, Hate to Eat".  It has opened my eyes to so much and it is giving  me the tools I need to succeed!  I have a very long way to go but, I want God to be glorified through this life long battle.  It is hard for me to even type this....it's hard to admit that you have a huge problem.  I know that it is a sin to be a glutton so I am doing all I can to change that!  Will I fail...probably at times. I want to be real and honest when I'm doing great and when I am struggling.  Thanks for your support and prayers...I could use them both! 

I hope you'll follow me over to my wordpress blog!  I will still check in on my Xanga friends and try to keep up with you all and your lives.

Thank you!  Jen

I would love to hear all about your favorite Christmas ornament?  I have a few...If I had a camera I'd post pictures.  So many Christmas memories come to life when we place ornaments on the tree each year. Ornaments we bought on our honeymoon, babies first Christmas, homemade ornaments from the kids.  Here are some of my favorites!

1.) an ornament that says "happy birthday"...I love it!  Reminds me of Jesus.

2.) multiple homemade ornaments sewn by my Great Grandma.  She cross-stitches a new one each year with the year on them.  I cherish those.

3.) a sewn ball ornament that says "Jennifer" on it that I've had since I was a little girl.

So, let's hear it!  What is your favorite ornament?
