Wow where has the time gone

I can hardly believe that we are now in October. It has been a crazy start to this semester and in just a few days I will be leaving for Cape Town, South Africa. I feel as though there is so much going on that I am not sure where to begin this blog.

I have now been doing Jenny Craig for over a month and I love it. It has finally begun to make a real difference in my appearance. Although this, if I am being honest this is proving to be rather challenging and unsettling. WHich is catching me completely off guard. I would have thought that looking thinner would be the end all for me, but it so far is not proving to be true.

A friend said to me just the other day, 'Sarah it seems like you aren't comfortable in your own skin' and it is true. I looked in the mirror the other day and saw someone different, and I am just not sure what to do with that.

It is a good feeling, just different. I am beginning to see that it isn't for me about looking better, but about feeling better, which I do. Since I am feeling better I am learning to view myself in a healthier light.

Learning to make activity a part of my life has been a challenge but a good one. Now I really am looking forward to being active in each day.

School is going well, but I am looking towards the ever closing in date of my trip to South Africa. This should be an amazing trip. I am concern about staying on program I will be gone for over 15 days. It will be hard but I don't want to have to re-loose or make up for damage towards my goal on this trip.

Sorry for my ramblings tonight. As I am reading this, I am just in awe of what the Lord is doing through all of this. He has given me the chance to really go after somethings. TO make changes that will free me to be able to serve in a healthier and more effective manner for the kingdom. Right now I need to spend time focusing on dealing with these things so that in the future they will be smaller and not as intrusive.

Oh well just some random thoughts.
