Hi y'all, I'm Teresa & I live in Alabama!    
I love the Lord with all my heart! 'Nuff Said.    
I'm 49, happily married & have 2 teenagers. I joined SPARK on April 8, 2009...I needed a lifestyle change because I had a medical emergency (brain aneursym  burst in January 2007) that changed my life. I reached my goal weight on April 12, 2010; I maintained for over year..So I lowered my goal weight AGAIN to 135 Lbs.; I reached that goal on May 27, 2011 on the 2011 Beautiful Butterflies in Spring 5% Challenge. I got sick during May 2012 & lost more weight... June 2012 weight is below my goal weight (135), I now weigh between 121 Lbs. & 123 Lbs.    
Well enough about me...Let's talk about you!   
   
   
   
   
â™¥âœžâ™¥ I Am HIS & He Is MINE â™¥âœžâ™¥   
   
   
"Who are You, Lord?" He answered me: "I AM."    
   
"But who is I AM?" I asked discouraged.    
   
His soft answer filled my heart with fire, because I heard:   
 "I AM Love; I AM Peace, I AM Grace,I AM Joy, I AM the Way,    
the Truth and the Life, I AM the Light, I AM your comforter, I AM Strength, I AM the Creator, I AM the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End."    
   
With tears in my eyes I asked softly, "But, Lord, then who am I?"    
   
 While God gently wiped away my tears, He whispered in my ear: "YOU ARE MINE."

WHEN HE SEES YOU READING IT, HE FAINTS...    
WHEN HE SEES THAT YOU ARE LIVING WHAT YOU READ, HE FLEES!!!

ÙÙCross On My HomepageÙÙ   
I have a cross on my homepage   
A simple reminder to me   
Of the fact that I'm a Christian   
No matter where I may be   
   
This little cross is not magic   
Nor is it a good luck charm   
It isn't meant to protect me   
From any physical harm   
   
It's not identification   
For all the world to see   
It's simply an understanding   
Between my Savior and me   
   
When I logon to my homepage   
For the new things to see   
The cross is there to remind me   
The price He paid for me   
   
It reminds me too, to be thankful   
For my blessings day by day   
And to strive to serve Him better   
In all that I do and say   
   
It's also a daily reminder   
Of the peace and comfort I share   
With all who know my Master   
And give themselves to His care   
   
So, I keep a cross on my homepage   
Reminding no one but me   
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life   
If only I'll let Him be

~â˜†~Don't Quit~â˜†~    
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,    
when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,    
when the funds are low and the debts are high,    
and you want to smile but you have to sigh,    
when care is pressing you down a bit     
rest if you must, but don't you quit.    
   
Life is queer with its twists and turns.    
As everyone of us sometimes learns.    
And many a fellow turns about    
when he might have won had he stuck it out.    
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -   
 you may succeed with another blow.    
   
Often the goal is nearer than    
it seems to a faint and faltering man;    
often the struggler has given up    
when he might have captured the victor's cup;    
and he learned too late when the night came down,    
how close he was to the golden crown.    
   
Success is failure turned inside out    
 the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,    
and when you never can tell how close you are,    
it may be near when it seems afar;    
so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit    
it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.

On Sunday, August 16, 2009,  I  received an email from SP  informing me that I was a SP motivator...I was speechless (yes, I CAN BE QUIET)  & of course I cried (& cried & then cried some more).  This is such a honor & no words can convey my gratitude to all of you that nominated me. THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU

I haven't taken this off my SparkPage because   
I don't ever want to forget all that has been

In January 2007,  I had a brain aneurysm to burst. After the brain surgery & all the  medications, I found that I had gained about another 20 lbs. I know that my LORD & SAVIOR poured abundant Mercy, Grace & Love on me to allow me to live. Recovery has been long & hard. Losing weight was the last thing on my mind until I found sparkpeople.  I don't want my 15 year old son & 12 year old daughter to grow up without me. Please help me to get healthy & lose this extra weight, so that I can enjoy what my LORD has BLESSED me with....A wonderful, loving husband & 2 precious children.
