One good thing about sharing your goals with others…they often hold you to them! Earlier this year, I asked God to restore some things in my life…my body being one. Over the last couple of weeks God has restored a friendship of mine from childhood.
One day after school, the boys asked if we could go out for pizza and take two of their new friends in the apartment complex. I said yes, but that I needed to meet their friends’ mom first. I did not want an Amber Alert sent out unnecessarily. As we all walked around the corner in the complex, I heard my old friend say, “You guys went out and found my friend!” We laughed and commented on our weight.
Yesterday my friend and I started walking together with our children. It was good for me to see that I am not the only one whose thighs tingle, ok burn, as we walked up the inclines. My abs also got a workout as I laughed at how her new mother-in-law and sister-in-law asked her husband if she was pregnant (as a result of the extra weight she has gained since their marriage); and how she told her husband to inform his mother and sister that, ”they shouldn’t go there”. We put together a plan to walk together during the week and go to bible study together on Wednesday nights.
Restoration is a project that often requires many processes. I am glad that God and I are still working on it together. I take joy in knowing that there is no project to big for God, and I am more than elated when He gives me special gifts along the way.
