Today I am celebrating another trip around the sun! I feel especially alive this year as I am 138 pounds lighter than I was on my last birthday! Has the journey been easy? Heck no! But has the journey been worth it? Absolutely! I am grateful for the love and support of my family and friends during this time and I am especially grateful to God that I am able to experience all that life holds in a way that I could not do 138 pounds ago. Look for some posts later this week with pictures of me celebrating my new vitality!

I know it has been quite some time since my last post. I haven’t done so well with the weekly Psalm memorization I had intended, but each week I have at least reflected on the Psalm that corresponds with the number of pounds shed. That should count for something, right? 😊 And the good news is that once I lose another 12 pounds, the guilt of the Psalm memorization will go away! (There are only 150 Psalms).

Below are some pictures that have been taken since my last post.

I am also including another shameless plug (aka link) for my Liberia mission trip in January. https://onemission.fund/support/robin-liberia/ Thanks to all who have supported this venture through your prayers and gifts.

Until next time, peace …
