Train your body. Train your mind.

     One of the most recent fitness quotes I've seen that inspired me was, "Train your body how you train your mind." And that truly stuck with me and gave me good inspiration to keep going. As a person who has worked for almost 3 years to get weight off and has been off and on....anything I can get is helpful.
     Getting your body to a state of physical fitness is a grueling journey. You go up and down. You're stronger and weaker at times. You are passionate and gung-ho about working out and other days you're lethargic and don't want to get our of your pj's. It's been true for me and my results have shown from it. I'm stronger now and have a little more definition. I've shrunk in inches but I've only lost 19 pounds. And man oh man what a process it's been.  The reason that I stay so committed even though I see little results is because of the result I will physically have one day and the spiritual growth and mental growth that I am achieving now.
     Taking care of your body is huge. If you are a Christian, it especially should make sense to take care of it. It is the temple that the Lord has given you and if you don't take care of your temple it can lead to not only obvious physical destruction but destruction of your mind, emotions, and spiritual fervor. There are so many chemicals in various processed foods that we consume everyday that are slowly killing us and can affect our brains. And I have no more thought process right now haha because I'm so exhausted...so To Be Continued.....
For His Glory

But What if You're Single and.... Happy?

Image
I've been sent a few reels over the last couple months talking about singleness and the different feelings around it. One said that people will talk about 4 major relationship categories,  1. Married and happy 2. Married and unhappy 3. Single and happy 4. Single and unhappy And how one of the categories is talked about the least... can you guess which one?  It's #3: Single and Happy.  I've not done the research, so maybe that discounts all of what I'm saying or about to say, but as someone who routinely checkmarks the single box, my life and experiences are the research. Why is it that so few people talk about what it looks like to be single and happy? In my observation, it's because there often is one goal and one goal alone to strive for: "get married, have kids". And if those things are not happening then how could one possibly be fulfilled, whole, happy, or thriving? A good question.  But what if I told you there was something else? That single people ...

Texas Tragedy Through the Eyes of a Past Camp Counselor (and thank you to camp counselors everywhere)

Image
Tragedy is not a new word. And tragedy involving children isn’t a new concept (unfortunately). Yet for some reason, this particular one has struck a chord in my heart - possibly because of my camp counselor background and this story of young lives lost while attending camp. When I first heard about the flooding, I didn’t know what it would entail but as I dug in, tears filled my eyes. For the last few days, my reloaded browsers have shown me the numbers 41, 27, 10 and 1. Meanwhile the overall death toll continues to rise and the young girls missing from camp remain missing - and if they’re found, they are becoming heartbreaking recovery missions rather than rescue.    So, it makes me think about camp. I was a camper when I was a kid and it’s a massive part of my story, shaping me into who I am today. Both the environment and counselors were reasons I wanted to be on staff somewhere someday. When that day came, it was a high honor to prepare to serve campers each summer. For 5 ...

Awaiting the Holy Night - Mary's Perspective

Image
I wrote this post back in December 18, 2022 and never published it but with Christmas around the corner and joining my family in reading a chapter of Luke a day to celebrated Advent, I decided to circle back around to it. I know it may be taboo to read into how a Biblical character might have felt or what they might have thought, but adding personification to the people that we read so much about felt like an exciting venture. And besides that, The Chosen TV series came out around that time and it brought so many characters to life... giving them thoughts, feelings, and emotions so I felt that maybe I was in the clear (I mean, now anytime I read Jesus's words in Scripture, I hear Jonathan Roumie's voice). Below is my mind's rendering of how I imagined Mary (and Joseph) felt and what they might have thought the days leading up to and the night of Christ's birth.  --- What do you mean, I'm pregnant? Pregnant... at 15... with the coming Messiah?! I can't show my a...
