Hey everyone! I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged...shame on me (I know....took the words right out of your mouth). January - May is our busiest time at Curves....you know, that's when us ladies' make our new years resolutions to loose weight and be more healthy. SO, business has been VERY good for us so far this year, thank the Lord. I am still loving my job, more every day in fact, as I become more comfortable and familiar with all my responsibilities. I was blessed to be able to go to my very first Curves Regional Convention in Philadelphia, PN last weekend (all expenses paid, I might add)! There was about 1800 owners/employees in attendance, filled with excitement about our learning new ways we can help our ladies reach their goals. The most impressive part to me was that the president and the founder of Curves sincerely gave God all the glory for helping the business grow to what it is today. It started with the man and his wife opening up the very first Curves for Women like 10 years ago. There are now over 10,000 locations worldwide! Although it's the upmost desire of the corporate hdqt's for all owners/employees to be Christians, we know that's not likely in today's watered down religious world. However, it's comforting to know that those at top leadership do desire God's direction and blessings to be upon the business.

The Lord is continually opening doors for me to share the goodness of God with the ladies'....and as a matter of fact, one of our members came to church with me this morning! Ever since I met her about 5 weeks ago, she has kind of taken me under her wing and we've been working out faithfully 5 days a week together (being accountable to one another). The past several years have been very difficult since loosing her only daughter in a car accident. Today, she came to church for the first time since the funeral (big step). I believe with all my heart that God is working on her heart, and I am just trying, with God's help, to be a vessel by which HE can pour out his love to this hurting heart. God is still the GREAT PHYSICIAN and is able to heal broken hearts! Like my pastor said this morning, "deep down inside, people really do want God...they just can't break free from the chains of sin around their soul...they just need you and me to show them the TRUE love of Christ". God help me to be his hands and his feet!
