I have had a struggle with my weight for about the past 10 years, and today I had a really awesome breakthrough.

As I was taking the 2.5 mile round trip trek to the park and back home, I looked at my pedometer and saw the number of my steps.

Immediately, my mind went to a scripture verse Psalm 37:23 & 24, which paraphrased is, The steps of a good woman are ordered by the Lord and He delights in her way, though she fall, she will not completely fail, for God upholds her with His hand.

Sometimes it is just taking the first step and then the next, and the next, 5,951, 5952 - to really feel something exciting in life - Hope!

I have had an uphill battle with weight, that began to lean more in my favor this past January when I had my thyroid removed.

I look forward to the steps ahead and counting every one of them.
