Sunday

Today was a great day. I got a chance to get away (not trying to rhyme here). Me and a couple friends decided to take an impromptu trip to Busch Gardens today and it was a great time. I haven't been in years so seeing all of the new attractions was neat. The new roller coasters were crazy! I have to say those moments really make you see how small you are and how not-in control you are of life. The feeling of sitting in that roller coaster seat praying the buckle is bucked correctly and the air pressure of the harness doesn't go. It's a similar feeling when I step on an airplane and I'm thousands of feet in the air. It's difficult putting my trust in this person who quickly comes and tugs on my seat harness and/or pilot steering that plane. However, in those moments I'm talking to God. And these days, whatever it takes to get me talking to the Lord more, I'm all about it. Communication is needed in any relationship or you lose that relationship. Today I was t

Saturday

I want to make a list of things in my life I'm thankful for and then things that happen or will happen throughout the day that I should be thankful for and rejoice in. 1) I'm grateful for my home. I think it's the first home I've truly loved where I live. 2) I'm thankful for a wonderful boyfriend and that our relationship gets stronger each day. 3) I'm grateful for working on Saturdays and being able to earn extra cash to support my finances and now my financial goals. 4) I'm glad I'm sore. It's confirmation that I did a good thing. My body needs it. 5) I'm thankful for this morning- time with the Lord and reflecting on forgiveness and self help. How to improve myself. 6) I'm thankful to God for the forgiveness, mercy and love he shows me every day and I hope to have that heart and mind again.

A Need for Change

I've not blogged in years and truthfully, I only did it for myself. Journalism was sort of a hobby that helped me focus on improving myself and clinging to the positive. It also helped keep me motivated and in dedicated to my spiritual life, fitness life and health. I've noticed through the past couple years these areas are not as exciting in my life anymore, so this morning I sat at the table, did my devotions and wrote up a list of areas I wish I improved in drastically.  These areas include:  Spiritual Goals  Financial Goals  Health and Fitness Goals  Organization Goals  Mental Health Goals  Just about every part of what makes me a human, I feel is in an uproar these days. Three years ago I found myself truly thriving on life. My relationship with the Lord was solid and growing stronger. My physical fitness life was booming- I was getting stronger, faster and more fit every day. I ate healthy. I hardly ever drank. The financial peice was never that strong, but I at

Walking Through the Valley

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." - Corey Ten Boom Trust in the Lord with ALL of your heart and trust not in your own understanding- Proverbs 3 I've lately found myself in a place I really do not like. I recognize this morning that I have been putting my trust in things that will always prove to fail me and I've been believing things that are not true. I've found insecurities rising and my thoughts about myself getting more and more negative. When in reality, if I focus on truth, that is what God has given me and blessed me with then I see that I am just being a complaining brat who is foolishly listening to voices that are not of God. Part of the reason I have been so easily drawn to this way of thinking is because I have not been filling my mind with the truth of God's word. This pos
