He's still workin' on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.

There really ought to be a sign upon my heart,
"Don't judge her yet, there's an unfinished part."
But I'll be perfect just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master's loving hands.

He's still workin' on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.



In the mirror of His Word reflections that I see
Make me wonder why He never gave up on me.
He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray
Remember He's the Potter, I'm the clay.

He's still workin'on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still workin' on me.

I'm A Swinger


Yep. You read that right. I'm a swinger. But, wait. It's not what you think....

I hated last summer. I was seriously overweight, tired, hot and miserable much of the summer, and really didn't get much pleasure from spending time at the park with my boys.
But things are different now. I love taking my boys to the park. I love climbing on the jungle gym with them, pushing them on the merry-go-round, and best of all, I LOVE the swings! Last year, my huge hiney didn't fit so comfortably in the swings meant for the youngins. But this year, you can probably find me right next to them, kicking my legs and soaring high! I love the way the wind blows my hair and the tickle in my belly takes my breath away. It's like I'm a kid again. The only time I come down off of the swings is to give my boys a push. And they love it. They love having mommy be their playmate and giggling right along with them! These moments are priceless and will most definitely last a lifetime! Just one more reason to keep going in my journey to become a healthier (and skinnier) me!
