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 thankful for a safe and fun day with friends. I'm thankful I'm healthy and loved by people in my life. While leaving one of the rides, a little girl with leukemia was getting on and she had the prettiest smile on her face filled with excitement and joy. Just thinking about how selfish I am and the things I worry about in life, then seeing a girl like that truly living in the moment enjoying every breath and not wasting any of it on fears. It was pretty humbling to see. I want to be more like that little girl, and I'm thankful I saw her. I didn't know her name however I'll nickname her Furry. It fits well as we had went on Falcons Furry. Today I didn't worry about how I looked, what I ate or if I worked out. I just made today a day of fun and excitement and I'm thankful for that.

Lord I pray for Furry, I want to thank you for her life. I pray hard for the doctors wisdom and I pray hard for her family to find strength and faith and trust in you. Lord I lift them up to you and I pray that you would heal her and use her life to glorify you and your kingdom. Thank you Lord. Continue to humble me and give me a heart and mind pleasing to you.

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

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
