transformation

back at the beginning of the year, i made a post about transformation.

it was the beginning of 2009 - i didn't want things to stay the same. i can hardly believe today is the last day of february, and the year is 1/6th over already! there were a few things that i wanted to transform:

first and foremost - my walk with the Lord. I don't want my walk to stay where it is - it is something that can easily fall by the wayside, especially with school, career decisions, my BEST portfolio, naps, anything really... anything we put in priority before the Lord. I've committed to finding or starting a Bible study that is weekly or at least bi-weekly. I've committed to sharing my faith with coworkers, and have found in doing so that they become open about their faith! I've committed to increasing my prayer life, my Bible reading and in doing so... falling more in love with my Lord and Savior!

secondly i wanted to transform my body. it's no secret that the past year has been a tough one, and in doing so i turn to food as my therapy which has been detrimental to my girlish figure :) i'm going to the gym at least 4 times a week, and it feels great! the physical results haven't been much yet, but my endurance is higher and my energy level is soaring. i even went to the gym last night for an hour and a half - on a friday night! i'm training for the march for babies 5K which is april 26th! very exciting!

third - school. i can't even begin to express how great my odd day students are. my 7th grade band is still trouble... but my 8th graders and my general music classes... it's been amazing!!! i don't even have to give quizzes because when i ask questions about prior classes - THEY KNOW THE ANSWERS!!!! it feels SO GOOD to know that at least SOME of my students are learning!!!

so there it is - a 2 month update. i'll be back at the end of april with hopefully more positive results!!!!
