We Were Made to Thrive

Today I hit a new milestone! I hit the milestone of 100 pounds lost! When I first started working out this milestone never even crossed my mind, but just like eating cake (no pun intended), I have taken it one piece at a time. The first milestone was to be the weight I actually put on my drivers license...my 2nd milestone was to be under 200....my 3rd and latest milestone that I reached today was 100 pounds lost! (insert happy dance here!). Im not done yet! My goal is to be in the healthy range when you look at a chart for height and weight! My last and final weightloss milestone will be to hit my goal weight and be in the Healthy range on a height and weight chart for females. I am so close! I am only about 20/25 pounds away!

Today on the way back to work from the gym I heard the song We were made to Thrive by Casting Crowns. This song and its lyrics hit me! "We were made to thrive." We were made to live more than just an ordinary life, we were made to thrive." I am thriving! I am running & loosing weight and getting closer to my goal weight everyday! I am healthy! I am thriving! I am pasting the lyrics below. Let this song be your motto! Thrive! Don't just Survive! Thrive!

Here in this worn and weary land
Where many a dream has died
Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run dry

So living water flowing through
God, we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire

Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on high
Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives
Its time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive

Into Your word, were digging deep
To know our Fathers heart
Into the world, were reaching out
To show them who You are

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable, anything is possible
