Scaling Back: It's Decided!

It's Decided!

Because of scheduling changes at FBC, the FP4H class needed to be moved to Sunday evenings — a time slot I wasn't thrilled with. Sunday evenings have traditionally been a time for me to chill-lax at home before the rush of a new work week hits.

But I decided that I needed the class and sacrificing my Sunday evening was a small price to pay for a smaller number on the scales.

Besides, change in inevitable, right?

Once I conceded that I could give up my Sunday evening for a smaller pant size, I started to think about other positives:

• It might open the class to more people.
• We won't be rushing from our jobs to get there on time.
• Weighing in might help keep us 'on track' over the weekend (the hardest days as far as I'm concerned).
• The encouragement I get on Sunday evening will inspire me to have a great week.

Orientation will be 6 p.m., Sunday,
Aug. 21 @ First Baptist Church, Rock Hill

I am committed to live the life God has called me to live, and if that means giving up "The Amazing Race" on Sunday nights.

So-be-it.
