OK- quick explanation for you, in-case you don't know what I'm banging on about!- at Weight Watchers, each time you lose 7lb, you get a shiny '7' sticker, when you lose a stone in weight you get a stone (yanno- small rock!), then as you reach further goals you can get key rings etc., it's a bit of a gimmick, but oh my days it works!!!
I'm like a big kid, jumping around because i got me a sticker- see sticker charts do work- although if I put weight on, I'm not sure my leader Sarah will give me a sad face!
I had no idea I would lose so much in my first week- chuffed to bits I am!!!
on 1st September I was meant to start reading the bible in one year-I have done it before, but about 16 years ago when I first became a Christian, I want to do it again as part of my 'count down to 40' efforts!
I say 'meant' as I couldn't find the bible which is set out differently to help you read an Old Testament chunk, with a New Testament Chunk (which are related in one way or another) and then with a Psalm or Proverb too. anyway, I found it the other day, so now I am reading two days at a time to catch up with where I should be, it's great to be getting stuck into God's word again- love it!!!!
I'm working all week at an event called 'On Earth As In Heaven' down in Latimer & have heard some really inspirational teaching by Ruth Dearnley who works for Stop The Traffik and feel shamed that I am so naive about the subject of human trafficking, but not now- so if you'll excuse me & my soapbox, I want to be raising lots & lots of awareness about this organisation who are being so proactive in standing against human trafficking, why should all the hard work done by Wilberforce & Newton be undone by some greedy, selfish, violent, evil people?
