Real Life-The Biggest Loser
It has been absolutely Forever since my last blog but I am sitting here watching the biggest loser and if you don't feel some sort of motivation while watching this show, you probably are a big loser haha jk.
But it always gets me thinking and feeling the motivation inside of me to live a full life. In this season of the show, it is all about former athletes from high school stars to two time super bowl champions. It is insane to see this people in their prime and to watch them struggle to lose hundreds of pounds.
Personally I have never been what I would consider skinny, unless I was a young kid. And as the years have carried a few more pounds has carried as well. It recently has been more of a goal to live healthier, I mean I love food but I am at least trying to like the healthier kind. I always joke with friends because I am the pickiest eater ever. I have tried many things but I hate like 85% of the food out there, so I guess its just that 15% that is the downfall of me haha.
I want to live though! Those days where despite my weight I feel free and lighter than ever are like the best. I feel like I can own who I am and yes, jam out in the car like I am a skinny white girl who can dance. Not saying big girls cant get it, I am just not one who is gonna allow myself that type of freedom that NOBODY wants to see, sorry guys. I want to have so much energy to just keep on going, I love to keep going. I already have trouble sleeping and sometimes it is annoying but sometimes I am just glad that I get to get the most of my days because my eyes are open :P At night it is kinda creepy, just saying.
This is all kind of random but hey I have been wanting to get back blogging forever even if no one ever reads it. I want to live freely, be motivated, and just own who I am.

Real Life-Gracious Uncertainty
Wrote this a while back and never got a chance to post it...
Gracious Uncertainty
As the end of this year approaches and anxiety and worries flood the minds of those graduating, I am kindly reminded of this tonight- the spiritual life is the life of a child. We are not uncertain of God, just uncertain of what He is going to do next. Amen, my people.
I was talking with a friend of mine and for once I saw someone stressing out about the future more than me. Granted I've had my share of worries and crying moments. She expressed how sad she was to be leaving friends and not sure where she will be living next or what her job would be. I certainly sympathized with her but I did start to get excited thinking of what my future holds.
Next year I have an amazing opportunity to come back for more. Not many are excited about that, huh? But I am so pumped. It has been a blessing to be able to set my mind on something and watch it happen, because before my mind would never venture to what I wanted to do but what I needed or had to do. I've had my battles because not everyone agrees with my decision to come back for gradschool but that's ok. I am confident in what I am doing, I am certain of what God is doing but I am uncertain of what he will do.
I am a worrier and I am already anxious about this summer and making it the best summer ever. I am not big on planning but when it comes to planning on having a good time I am an over planner, I just want things to be perfect. I get the chance to reconnect with my sister, spend more time with my best friend which it might sound dumb but it is already difficult thinking about not getting to spend every spare moment together like at school. A best friend like I have makes every moment perfect, planning is easy with her :) BUT nevertheless it shall be great and I am being reminded of that quite often. I have things more in line than most people and am being set up for great things so even if some things don't work out, it's ok because who knows what tomorrow holds, it might be better than I could have ever hoped for.
Ah, excited!
