LONG TIME RUNNING

I HAVE NOTICED I'VE NOT UPDATED MY BLOG IN ALMOST 2 YRS! HOW TIME FLY'S.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN FULL OF UPS AND DOWNS. TEARS OF JOY AND SADNESS, AND LOTS OF MIXED THOUGHTS.
I LOST MY WONDERFUL GRANDPA WOODROME ON THE 30TH OF MARCH 2012, HE WILL BE MISSED.HE WAS A GREAT LOVING MAN, DEAR TO MY HEART.
I LOST MY JOB BACK IN FEB. THAT I HAD FOR 9 YRS. I STILL HAVE MY HOUSE. I HAVE MY FRIENDS THAT I'M GREAT FULL FOR AND MY LOVING FAMILY. TOO.
O YEAH CANT FORGET THIS... MY FIRST NIECE HAS CAME KELSEY MARIE BALLARD, APRIL 22,2012!!! SHE'S WONDERFUL
I HAVE ALSO LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT! SO FAR WEIGHT NOT SURE BUT ITS 4 SIZES SMALLER THEN I WAS IN OCT OF 2011! I HAVE CUT OUT SUGAR, I ONLY DRINK WATER OR JUICE, I WALK NIGHTLY IF I CAN. 6 TO 8 MILES A NIGHT OR THREE HOURS...I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE TOLD ME BOTH IN PERSON AND E-MAIL THAT THEY JUST CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ME AND MY MILES... BUT THEY ARE ALL PROUD HOW I'M DOING AND KEEPING IT UP. THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT! I FIND ITS VERY STRESS RELIEFING AND I GET ANSWERS TO MY PRAYERS AT TIMES TOO. SOME DAYS I JUST FEEL LIKE CRYING AND GIVING UP... OTHER DAYS I GET MAD AND KEEP GOING.
I LOVE CHURCH, I'M BACK INVOLVED WITH THE YOUTH AND MOSTLY THE YOUNG WOMEN IN MY WARD, THEY ARE BIG STRENGTH TO ME. I HAVE LEARNED LOTS OF THEM. I AM GETTING MORE CONFIDENT AT MY TEACHING EVERY SEVERAL WEEKS TO. THE GIRLS PLUS MORE ENJOY MY LESSONS ( I THINK CAUSE I BRING TREATS) ON MOST MY CLASS GROWS BIGGER WHEN PEOPLE FIND OUT I'M TEACHING. BUT ITS ALL GOOD... I'M A BOYSCOUT.. BE PREPARED!! I AM PREPARED!! IF I COULD PASS ON ANYTHING I LEARNED AS I WAS A YOUNG WOMEN YEARS AGO... I WANT BE THAT TEACHER I HAD. THE ONES I LEARNED FROM. THAT I ALWAYS HOLD DEAR TO MY HEART. I WANT MY GIRLS LOOK AT ME THAT SAME WAY... REMEMBER ME FOR WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT THEM, SHOW THEM THE LOVE THAT MY LEADERS GAVE ME.
I LOVE MY BISHOP AND HIS COUNCLERS AND MY HOME TEACHERS, AND VISITING TEACHERS, MY WARD MEMBERS AND MY VISITING TEACHING COMPANION AND THE OTHER YOUNG WOMEN LEADERS THAT BEEN BY MY SIDE FOR LAST TWO YEARS.
I'M NOT SAYING I'M PERFECT, I'VE HAD MANY TRIALS AND BLESSINGS THREW LAST 2 YRS THANKS TO A HOME TEACHER THAT HAS HELPED ME GROW AND LEARN HOW ASK FOR THAT HELP WHEN I'M IN NEED. AND THE BISHOPRIC ALSO HAS BEEN THERE HELP ME OUT, LIFT MY SPIRITS WHEN I NEED. I THANK THEE LORD FOR ALL YOU ON A DAILY BASES... I HAVE ALSO JOINED A SINGLES GROUP ON MONDAYS AND OTHER DAYS AS I FEEL FIT. BETWEEN FIRESIDES, BYD (YOUTH), SINGLES FHE, MUTUAL AND ANYTHING ELSE I'M TRYING KEEP BUSY, LOOK FOR A JOB, AND TRY MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. I TRY AT TIMES JUST PUT SMILE ON MY FACE JUST MAKE IT THREW THE DAYS.... LIKE LORD SAYS.. IT NOT EASY BUT WILL BE WORTH IT...
