Day 7: Post a recent picture
Took this today after my haircut! =)
Day 6:When was the last time you cried?
Last week! I was reading a Karen Kingsbury novel which is one of the most emotional authors you come across. She is brilliant though. Her books always have me in tears and thinking about my own life. They are amazing!!! I recommend ANY 1 of them.
Day 5
Write about a period of time in your life where things were not so good.
My freshman year in college until the end of summer I got back to school, maybe even before that. I was at a difficult spot in life I guess you could call it. I was just out of high school about to start college. I had a boyfriend of 3 years and I was engaged. That 1-2 year stretch was rough. Nothing seemed to be going right...
Day 4
Write about a period of time in your life where things seemed to be constantly going good.
-I would have to say my sophomore year in college I made a lot of big changes. The biggest change was living my life for God. I turned my life back around and got back on track. I let go of the things and people that were pulling me down. God sent just the right friends into my life to guide me and show me...
Day 3:If you only had 24 hours to live, what would...
I would want to go to the North Shore in Hawaii and sit on the beach surrounded by my best friends and eat some of the best seafood in town.

Day 2: "My best friend is the one who brings out...
Write about the best friends you’ve had over the years.
Wow…this sentence is one that leaves me with thousands of memories running through my mind. I am a very blessed girl with some amazing, wonderful, caring, inspirational, determined, driven, indulgent, insightful, and loving best friends. Over the years I have had the kind of best friends who get me through life’s toughest times....
Day 1
1. I am a very happy person, I love to laugh!
2. My friends mean the world to me and I don’t take them for granted.
3. Faith is very important to me and I am thankful that God found me worthy to send his son to die for my sins even though I don’t deserve it.
4. I love to travel and experience new things
5. I am a huge people person and very outgoing. I know way too many people.

Trust In Him Who Leadeth The Way
Why does it seem that sometimes you can never do enough? Why do we give and give to our friends, family, co-workers etc. until we have nothing left? Why do we waste so much energy worrying about tomorrow or our future? Why do we hold grudges against our brothers and sisters in Christ? Why do we allow small things to ruin friendships? Why do we allow ourselves to stress when God is in control? Why...

Workout Week 4 Day 1
Got my new workouts for this week. They are a little longer now and a little more intense. So far, or at least today I felt more motivated! I didn’t have to force myself to do my workout. I’m not relying on anyone to get me through them anymore just me. My friends have been great about supporting the changes I have made in my eating habits. The hardest thing to give up is...
Workouts Week 3
This week is almost over and done for me. This week has been a bit tougher but I have survived so far. Tomorrow will be my last workout before the weekend. I will be getting up at 7 am just like I did last week. This is HUGE for me. I haven’t gotten up to workout early in the morning like this since I was in high school doing basketball workouts with the team before school. I am having...

Week 3 of Workout=Improvement
Well week 3 is finished!!! I have done so much better this week on my eating and working out. I have been running and biking as well. My first new workout this week was rough on Monday. I ran on Tuesday for 15 mins and biked for 15. Wednesday I just rode the bike because my legs were dead and needed some rest. Thursdays workout seemed easy and so did todays. I weighed myself this morning..I have...
Making Progress
My workouts have been giving me less of a beating over the last few days. My body is tired and still trying to get back in the swing of being physically active. I’m enjoying this process more now too. I weighed in last week and I’ve lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks!!! I’m so excited!!! 65 lbs to go :)
Workout Day 3=Lightened Up
Yesterday seemed easier, my body was still very sore and I couldn’t squat as low as I wanted but I got through my workout. When I got done I was dead so I did my extra credit workouts and walked a mile. So I’m putting in working trying to get ready for my best friends wedding and then for Summer. This isn’t a temporary change, this is a LIFESTYLE/LIFETIME change. I want to...
Workout Day 2=ROUGH!
Well I ended up doing my workout for today. It was extremely intense. It showed me how far I had let myself go. I used to be able to do any exercise I wanted to. Now I am struggling with them, when in my mind I think they are simple workouts. I am extremely beat tonight and feeling very sore. I know tomorrow is going to be tough again but every day is going to get better and hopefully easier. Ok,...
First Day of the Rest of My Life
Eph.3:16-19-I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,and to know this love that surpasses...

Be Still and Know That I Am God (Psalm 46:10)
Today we sung in chapel and those days are always my favorite. It’s a break from worrying about other things going on in/around our lives and to stop and give thanks to God through song. It’s an amazing feeling to sit amongst other Christian brothers and sisters and hear everyone coming together as one to raise their voice to their creator. I often like to stop singing and just merely...
Just Like the Leaves
Marybeth Whalen “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.” Mark 8:35 (NIV)
As I write this, it is fall and the leaves are changing in a glorious display of color. Each landscape looks like God Himself personally painted it - red, yellow, orange and green. I marvel as I drive, soaking in the visual display...
It's Been Awhile
So lately I have been trying to figure out what to write about since I haven’t been able to decide on a topic or something going on with me or around me to talk about I’ll wing this one. This has been going on for like 3 months. Well I just now decided to start writing and see where my thoughts take me. I have so many things now that I would love to talk about, so bare with me....

God.
I asked for strength, God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, God gave me problems to solve. I asked for courage, God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for patience, God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait. I asked for love, God gave me troubled people to help. I received nothing I wanted; I received everything I needed. My prayer has been answered.
“Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, powerful...”

"Memorable Transition" *21*
Childhood like a distant boat, Course taken, others wrote. Rebelled from your chosen way, Winds and waves aided; youth astray. Swan-like elegance, grew-up brisk, Memories remain on a disk. Unique and random, cannot deny, With each passing day - Glorify! Now at the age of twenty-one, Life has truly just begun. Hope and wish, your dreams come true, Along the way, a gorgeous view.

"Come As You Are"
He’s not mad at you He’s not disappointed His grace is greater still, than all of your wrong choices He is full of mercy and he is ever kind Hear his invitation, His arms are open wide You can come as you are, with all your broken pieces And all your shameful scars The pain you hold in your heart, bring it all to Jesus You can come as you are Louder than the voice that...

"I Bid You Farewell" 2 Corinthians 5:9
WOW!! Summer has absolutely flown by. I find it funny to think that it is seriously over. I feel like Summer never really started for me. Maybe because I don’t know how to slow down even though I was busy this summer..I think it was the BEST summer I have had in years. I loved every thing down to the littlest detail. I LOVED my job!! I loved being at home. I loved being in the city....
