Strong Tower - Promise Keepers (Jason King)

I absolutely love this song.....it speaks volumes to me......it always has and has such a place in my heart especially now......Tony is losing his job due to budget cuts, so life is a bit of a whirlwind right now......He is fairly new to this company, as we have only been here for about 6 months, so hearing the word we may have to move/relocate, depending where he can find a job is a bit overwhelming.....The good thing is the company he works for right now is working hard to find him a place and a job, it is just going to be a matter of if we want to move.....Moving isn't a foreign word for us, we have moved so much over the last 13 years, the longest we have ever been anywhere was 5 years and that was 8 years ago....so this should be cake for us! I just hate having to start over, especially when we have started to settle in here and grown accustomed to this area, but maybe God has other plans and I have to respect that.......So as I type we are getting ready to take a tiny trip, due to an awesome friend willing to take on our four kids! Tony has an interview on Friday in Orlando FL, so we, he and I, are leaving on Thursday morning and driving out there.....I get to go with him, so I am just a tad excited, this should alleviate a bit of the stress and strain on our brains, right?! Anyways.....this song is pertinent to our lives right now and I wanted to share it!

up and down....up and down....up and down....

I honestly think when God created "life" He honestly created it to represent a roller coaster......Many things in our lives can be classified as so called "roller coasters" Specifically for me, it is my yo-yo dieting slash weight....I get on an all time high and push through, then I crash to an all time low and say "forget it!" Now this is completely my fault and my lack of self-discipline, lack of will power, wanting to overeat, whatever you want to call it....or just plain ridiculous is what it should be labeled! I have recently found a "new" love for running and was going strong, but then sprained my ankle and had to take a month off....this literally hindered me completely.....I still found ways to exercise, but my eating has never been controlled, so that will catch up with me! If I could just get through the "diet" plan I would be skinny again! I exercise to an obsession! So in my head I have a goal to run a half marathon in Sept....not sure that will happen, I guess I can out talk myself! Just finding my groove again has been extremely difficult. But once I get there it is so rewarding, it is just a matter of getting there......
