2019 review

2019 in Review

Personal/Church: I can't believe how God is using all of us at Summer Hill to make a difference in the lives of others. Jesus is amazing. God is our loving father. He leads us by His Holy Spirit. There is no way any of this is happening without Him. Our youth ministers are faithful and true and have a passion for the children they serve. Our members are free to serve God in whatever way He leads them. Our men are growing in faith and stepping up to lead their homes and our church in the way of the Lord. I am so amazed how God uses common everyday people to serve Him so that other can know Him.

Children/Grandchildren: Saylor Jane (AKA SaySay and Sadie by her brother and sister) celebrated her 1 year birthday. She was surrounded by friends and family. Lawson has developed into a young man. He is 15 and is driving now with his learners permit. He is creating beats for Christian rappers he even has his own youtube channel LGBeats and SoundCloud "Lil Chico", He has changed sports to Basketball. He is on jr varsity team at his high school. He is very good at everything he does. Bailey likes to play volley ball. She makes bracelets and video clips that are so cute. Both are very involved in their church, missions, and camp. Braylen is now 9 years old. She plays soccer, piano, she is learning to sew, she speaks latin, she is very organized in her thought processes and does not mind being in charge at all. Judson is now 5 and such a sweet and content boy. He is very thoughtful and loving. He plays soccer. He was accepted to Westminster and is in kindergarten. He is learning so much. I can't believe how blessed I am to be allowed to grandmother these precious children.
Work: I celebrated 5 years at Amedisys Hospice this December. They gave me a party and some decorations for my cabin on the lake.
Personal: I continued strictly on Keto Diet but could not loose under 172# and started gaining again Back up to 177#. I went to my doctor and he was happy with my progress and even though my lab work looked better he was still concerned with total cholesterol and LDL levels. He again wanted me to start statin drug but again I declined. He suggested that I choose more whole food fats instead of processed foods. I had already removed processed foods and sugars so I stopped adding fat such as butter, lard, and cheeses and used olives, avocado and coconut oil instead. In October my son, Allen and his wife asked me to watch "fork over knives" documentary on netflix. I connected with this. I then started to eat whole food plant based foods. I lost 6 pounds by the end of the year. I have realized that the past is just that The PAST. I live in the PRESENT. and I am looking forward to the future by faith in the promises that Jesus gave me. My life is abundant just as he promised. My niece, Krystal has visited several times this year. It has been nice to see her. I went to visit all my brothers at least 1 time each this year. That does not sound like much but from nothing to one is something. My last weight this year 172#.
