It's time to get serious!

OK everyone....here it goes: Cory and I are about to DETOX! That's right, you heard it!! We have made a commitment to officially get on the track to a healthier Church family (that way we can begin accepting new members!!!). Wink wink, nudge nudge!

Starting on October 1st we will have a really neat 21 day experience together changing our eating and excersing habits and just basically resetting our bodies to a nice balance. My brother, Brian, did this a month or so ago and after talking to him about it, Cory and I are both ready to take the leap.

So, we would ask any of you out there to lift up this season of change to God and just ask Him to bless us through the tough times. We are praying for strength to fight off the old habits, courage to bring in the new ones, and perseverence to make the permanent change in our lives so that we are healthier and even more ready for our lifetime of adventures! If you have a prayer list, please add these needs to it if you feel so called.

In case you are interested in the Detox program itself, check it out at www.georgedejohn.net .

I will be sure to blog the experience to keep you posted on things...so far the funniest thing about the program is that in the guidelines that we have so far, it says that if you miss your scheduled BM (apparently this program makes you quite regular) you are to contact George immediately. Now seriously, I am about to start a program that has me potentially communicating about my bowels with a perfect stranger. Now that is commitment!!!!

Lift us up guys, and check back for the story of our journey! We are counting on the scripture "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" to remind us that through our own determination and our reliance on God we can make these changes.

Until next time,
Church Lady
