The Fat Girl

 Everyday you make a choice.

Will you choose to continue "as is" or reach for more?

Will you let the desire within you push you to greatness or stay comfortable?

Will you get lost in negative thoughts or start to believe in your own worth?

I see you.

I feel you.

I can relate because I was there.  

I was the girl that felt terrible in her own skin.  The girl who hid in the photos.  The girl who was behind the camera instead of in front of it.  The girl who couldn't stop eating.  The girl who was made fun of her weight as a child.  The girl who cried at herself in the mirror.  The girl who didn't love herself.  The girl who felt helpless against the weight of her body.  

I decided in October 2020 that I was no longer going to be that girl! 

I wanted more.  

My desire for a greater life pushed me.

I started to believe in my own worth.  

I began to love myself.

2023 is coming soon.  What if you made a resolution to believe in yourself and know that you could climb out of the pit you feel trapped in?  It's scary.  I can and will walk with you.  Pray with you.  Motivate you.  Stand with you.  Cry with you.  

Comment 2023 and lets do this together! 

We are BETTER TOGETHER and I want nothing more than to see you fly!

Friendships can enrich your life

Good friends are good for your soul.  Friends celebrate you.  Friends cry with you.  Friends also help encourage and support you through the seasons of parenthood or marriage.  The enjoyment and comfort found in the presence of a good friend makes the investment worth it.  It's quality; not quantity that matters.   But.....is friendship a priority to you?  I think alot of us would say that it is not.  Maybe we feel we don't have time for it.  Maybe we don't feel we have the emotional space for it.  Or maybe we feel like it's so hard to meet other moms when we are home raising kids and seriously feeding them all day long! I feel ya! Friendships can play a major part on your own health and well being.  But it's not easy to develop or maintain friendships.  Especially as we pursue a career, raise a family and pour into our marriage; our friendships take a back seat to this season in our life.  Friendships do take effort ...

Discernment

  2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.       This has been my verse of the week.  It was a much needed verse for this week!  2023 has ended up to be a year of pivoting!  We have had plans change.  We have had shifts happening.  We have had new things transpire.  A new normal forming.       Self doubt crept in with those changes.  As Christians, we have the power and love to battle this with discernment.  With Sound Judgment.       What does that look like though....     When we know and believe Psalm 23 that the Lord is my shepherd, then we look to Him for guidance.  For Him to continually lead us.  And we will heed to His leading.  We pray for discernment to know His voice over all others.  We can praise Him for the mighty and good shepherd that He is.  And we will dig in and know Him ...

Eating my Feelings

Just a girl over here trying not to eat her feelings. Our Saturday came with a huge pivot.  Due to what we will refer to as “the cooties” invading our home, we were frozen in place this morning instead of heading off to Florida.   Plans were canceled.  Hearts were saddened.  The beach and Hogwarts would not be a part of this week. After I walked through the steps with our TA on rebooking our theme park tickets; I refocused on work, went on a walk, grabbed my Target Pick up and then ended up in front of my favorite pizza joint.   The broken girl inside of me knew what would feel good.   The broken girl that loves control and predictability wanted to find happiness and satisfaction.   The broken girl only knows food soothes.   The healed girl I have become knew what was coming.   The healed girl took charge and allowed me to eat a smaller portion of my favorite comfort food.   The healed girl wasn’t going...
