Hey everyone! I haven’t blogged in so long, and I miss it! What a year this past one has been for us. As we celebrated Mike’s birthday yesterday, there was no way to avoid remembering what his birthday was like last year. We were in lots of pain, and living with my Mom, and just longing to feel well enough to celebrate milestones like birthdays. Fast forward to this year, and we are on our way. Still dealing with the changes our injuries have brought us, but thanking God everyday for what we were spared. It has been such a journey, and God has taught us so much about trusting, compassion, faith, and the list goes on and on. I could never thank all of our friends for all of the support you have shown us, I think of it everyday, and I am encouraged by it. Traveling again, is a little harder physically than it once was, but we are so excited for the opportunity to still be able to do so, we appreciate the continued prayers of our friends!
I want to tell you very quickly about our new CD “Feels Like Sunday.” You can now order it right here on our website, it’s some favorite songs of the church, new and old. We had begun working on it before the accident, and had to wait to finish until we felt well enough to go back to the studio. Some of my favorites are “Jesus Messiah” “Mercy and Grace” and “Thou Art Worthy.” Like always, we pray it speaks to hearts, and that when you listen to it you have the happy feeling, that feeling of peace, that content feeling that you have after a great Sunday morning service!
More of Him, Less of me, remember that? Well, needless to say, the last year took it’s toll on my exercise regimen. I have began working out (very carefully again), and walking towards health! I am confident that I can do all things with God’s help! If you are a trainer, nutritionist, or have lost weight, I welcome tips and advice! Well, I have to go for now, much to do! Love you all!

Thankful for progress!

So this week I have a new accomplishment! I can now do the elliptical for one hour! Woo Hoo!!! I’m not saying it doesn’t make me want to cry, (LOL)and that I don’t have to push through the last twenty minutes or so, but I can do it! I was inspired by Terah, who told me on Saturday that she did it for an hour!!!!!!!!! My longest time was maybe forty-five minutes or so. And although, Terah and I are not competitive at all, I felt I had to step it up! LOL I can’t be left too far in the dust. So, I stepped it up, and I am sore, but I feel so very good. It was time to step it up! I can remember when we first started this little journey, I could barely do twenty minutes, so that is progress!
Let us never underestimate how good a little progress can feel! I’m so thankful for all of your words of encouragement, and your prayers!!!!! It has meant so much to us! Blessings to you all!!!!!! Also very proud of Terah for being inspiring this week!!!

Love,
Kelly

I am sorry for not blogging recently! We have been soooo busy! :0) There have been a whole lot of things going on, that’s for sure! Please continue to pray for this area. The flooding has been unlike anything that I have ever seen! It’s so devastating, we have been blessed to not have damage, but we are praying for those who have, and especially those who lost loved ones. Our hearts and prayers go out to them.

It’s hard to blog and not mention the flood, and after doing so everything else seems so silly. However, all is well on our “Less of Me, More of Him journey. Another pound was gone Monday. I am thankful for that. I pray that all of you are well! We are making a “live video” Thursday, and appreciate your prayers. Until next time……

Hey friends! It’s a lovely day here, the sun is shining bright! It’s wonderful! I need to get out there! I was able to get in a good workout yesterday, felt so good! Mike and Terah are both doing so good too! I’m very proud of them both! I went to buy some new clothes and I bought a size that I haven’t worn in at least a couple of years! It’s an everyday thing of waking up and deciding to make good choices. Some days are definitely easier than others, but I know it’s worth it! I can’t say “thank you” enough for all of the words of encouragement we have been given! We are so blessed with many wonderful friends! Much love to you all! Until next time……

So, I got to swim this morning! Yay! It was definitely a nice change from the elliptical. We are in WV today, and it’s so cold here, so thankful for indoor pools! Just ate a blackened chicken salad for lunch, it was yummy! I’m starting to feel so much better, finally! Praise the Lord for that! I hope you all are doing well! Until next time…..

Well, I feel like I haven’t written in forever. We got home today after being in Louisiana all week for revival. Such sweet, sweet people there, we had a wonderful time! Between being sick, (I am still fighting this nasty crud) and having our schedule be so crazy, I feel like I haven’t worked out in ages. It feels horrible, but I have been really sick, and coughing and hacking,and just not myself. I can’t wait to be 100 percent again. Will this ever happen?????? Anyway, I’ve been trying to do what I can. Eating the best I can, and hoping I can get off these meds soon! I hate taking medicine, I am worse than a child! But, on a less frustrated note, I am proud of Terah who has worked so hard this week, all by herself. She looks so good! Determination is one word that I will use when thinking of Terah at this moment! Okay, so I need to go for now, please keep praying for me, and any advice on how to make this coughing and hacking be gone for good is very appreciated!

Much Love,
Kelly

Hey friends! I’m so sorry I haven’t written in a few days! I’ve had three sick girls, and then got sick myself! Needless to say I’m missing my workouts! I just have felt horrible, was up most of the night with chills and aches last night. The good news is I’ve got some medicine started, and I’m feeling better already today. I appreciate your prayers. I had a good birthday, and got so many sweet wishes! Thank you! It’s the first birthday in a while that I didn’t think I’ve got to start being healthier, because I had already started! That felt good! I was able to go to my closet when I packed this week and wear lots of clothes that didn’t fit last spring, and ones that did were too big! Yay! I’m so thankful! I hope that you all are doing great! I think about you and wonder how it’s going, so let us know!

Much love,
Kelly

Hey everyone! I don’t know about you all, but I’m feeling the time change this afternoon! I slept a little later than I intended to today. I am happy to say that I’m wearing a pair of jeans today that I’ve not worn in about two years! I am very excited, still a long way to go, but progress is a good thing! It keeps me encouraged. I hope all of you that have joined us are doing well and feeling great. Just a little tip, I do so much better when I write all that I eat down. It’s so easy to lose track if I don’t. I keep a little notebook in my purse. Praying for you all!

Much love,
Kelly

Wow, it has been a very busy week! From being gone so much in the past few weeks, I am not sure that I will ever get caught up! There’s so much going on right now, but I have been good! One thing about it, when you are extrememly busy, there is not as much time to think about food. I really would like to get a cookbook that has lots of easy low calorie recipes. My friend recommended “The Biggest Loser” one, does anyone else have any suggestions? I’m trying to switch it up, in the food departmant, something different, and stuff that my girls would like! I am trying my hardest to make this a family affair! :0) I apprectiate all of your prayers, as we continue on this journey! I am learning that my determination can only take me so far, and when I am week, He is strong!

Much love,
Kelly

Well, I didn’t get to write yesterday, so I’m trying to catch up. We had to resist temptation yesterday at a wonderful church in VA. That food looked so yummy! I had just a few bites to avoid being rude. I tell you the mac and cheese looked sinful! I had to remind myself to keep it all in perspective. So today was much easier, but didn’t workout because we had two services. So I only got five days in this week, still not bad considering I was only home less than 24 hours. Next week is going to be a busy one, so your prayers are appreciated! I hope all of you that are fighting this fight with us are doing well! Keep on keeping on, it’s going to be worth it!

Much love,
Kelly
