Balance

I don't think I've ever been this busy during the summer! I am loving it because I am meeting some great people and really challenging myself to trust others.

Here's an overall snapshot of the last week:

Good - I started my first Bible study ever on Wednesday. The 6 girls that I sat with seem really great. We agreed to sit together again next week!

Good - I started Jenny Craig on the 19th and had my first weigh in on Thursday. I lost 2.3 lbs!

Good - I had a follow-up with my family doc Thursday about continuing my meds for the time being. She was so excited to see me smiling. I was happy that I could make her smile, too :)

Good - I got an iPhone on Friday!

Good - I saw Toy Story 3 and got to hang out with my best friend (with no kids!) on Saturday.

Good - I spent Saturday night out with my new friends from Sunday school celebrating one of their birthdays! Not only that, I also didn't give into temptation and fall off my Jenny Craig plan!

Good - I spent the whole afternoon today with my Sunday school class (and another class) at a pool party. I had an absolute blast and feel so blessed to finally have found people who I know God has given me to learn from and connect with. I cannot wait to continue building these relationships I have started.

Bad - I took my grandma in for more tests on Friday and watched the doctor deliver the news that the cancer has already metastasized to her brain. A memory I wish could be erased...

No amount of good things can balance out the bad this week, but that doesn't make me any less thankful for them.
