Battle

I have been putting off this blog topic for a while, but for some reason, it has never escaped me from wanting to write about it. Lately, God has been tugging at my heart to finally publish it. So, embarrassing, private, and vulnerable as I feel to write about it for others to see, I feel led and compelled to tell my story. I would say that I was always aware of my appearance. I really wanted to be thinner; and that desire went back to elementary school. I remember walking into kindergarten feeling fat, and sucking in my stomach. I was definitely insecure for the majority of going to school. When I was going through middle school, my parents were going through a divorce. Coupled with new step parents, new homes, and family troubles, I certainly struggled (as many middle school students do) to gain an understanding of what confidence was. My mom is someone who likes to be sure to fix problems. I think she saw that my sister and I were struggling with lack of confidence, and she ...

Baby Lala: week 12

The Lord has been pressing on my heart to relinquish him something that I have carefully monitored in my past two pregnancies. And it's not easy. I have lists that document the pounds that I gained in each pregnancy. It consumed me in the past; how quickly I gained weight. And no one wants to gain 10 pounds in 5 weeks like I did this pregnancy. In addition to the "all day" sickness I have felt, coupled with the fatigue, I have been consumed with how quickly have had to switch to maternity clothes with this third one. I remember also being consumed with what I weighed with the other two..and I don't want to be consumed with such a silly thing...it's been hard to enjoy my pregnancy feeling huge. And there were many times in the past pregnancies that also didn't enjoy parts because I was unhappy with how I looked. This has been pressing on my heart. I have been considering the fact that it's my last pregnancy. And that I want to enjoy it. And slowly this ...

Crazy Lady

I get questions a lot about the reason behind the amount of energy that I have. It's true. I do. Two kids, full time job, Jazzercise instructor...I am not the type to like to sit down very often. If this blog comes of as prideful, condescending, or interfering; I apologize. I am not the kind of person to feel obligated to boast in anything. In fact, I truly give glory to God for the energy that I have. It seems like when I am following Him, I always get excited and feel energetic. Anyone who follows the Lord can understand that feeling of excitement that takes place in following our Savior. And I know that what I am about to talk about is literally rooted in the blessings that he has given me. I talked a little bit about them in my blog post: Battle.   I was running the other afternoon, and felt led to share the reason behind my insanity. Honestly,  I can directly attribute the fact that I have so much energy to the fact that I have found such blessing in staying active. S...
