JJ Heller

I have been meaning to post about our adventure to go see JJ Heller, but I am lazy! Last Monday I went with Sarah, Carol, Julie, Jami, and Heather to go see JJ Heller perform. Travis told me it was a free concert for women, turns out for women with Eating Disorders! It was really awkward walking in, but we made Sarah go first, lol. I had gone straight from work so I felt really bad because half the time I was thinking about food! Anyways, Sarah gave a good rundown on her blog about the night. They didn’t mind that we weren’t there for the support group. It was at a place called Finding Balance, but Sarah called it Fairly Balanced, which is funny because that is probably a more accurate description of most of us, do we ever find balance? One of the reasons I am impressed with JJ and her husband is because you can tell they are genuine, they are really living what they believe. I really enjoyed listening to her explain why she wrote the songs and the stories behind them, that made them more real to me. She is really talented, but she doesn’t flaunt it. I could tell they were really working to glorify the Lord. I felt like she really cared about the girls in the group, and was there to try and give them support. Sarah mentioned the girl, Molly, that was there on her blog. She was so thin, but she was so sweet and beautiful.  Carol told me that before we left she told her that she would be praying for her and her response was “Thank you so much, no one has ever told me that before”. Can you imagine? I feel so blessed, and unworthy. How many times a week do I hear that from friends and family? That really broke my heart. Overall, it was a great night. I was really glad I got to be a part. It’s good to see God working in other people’s lives. The one thing that I was disappointed about was that I didn’t get to speak to JJ. She had a little fan club that was hogging her when it was over, I was a little bitter. I wanted to tell her that I read her blog and I know everything about her, so I’m basically one of her best friends, she just hadn’t met me yet. I guess that’ll have to wait! Lol, she would probably put a restraining order on me anyways. Seriously though, if you’ve never heard her music I recommend it. Here’s a little sample:

35 Weeks and counting

Well, not much longer to go!

Two weeks ago I had an ultrasound and Molli weighed 4 lbs and 2 oz! She is head down, so hopefully she’s getting ready. I am a little apprehensive because my doctor is on vacation Dec 25-Jan 2 and I am due Dec 29th! Please pray she comes before his vacation!! We’re aiming for the week of Dec 15th!
