Current Thoughts

     I woke up this morning feeling happy, overwhelmed and even sick to my stomach. Happy, because I actually went to church yesterday. I haven't been in quite a while because I couldn't find anything to wear and I had gained so much weight that nothing had fit me any more. Priorities have changed. I cannot let my spiritual life be put on the back burner because of something materialistic like not having something to wear. The things I have in my closet I can make work. In my mind I needed something new, something better. Which I now know is not the mindset that I should have. I listened to the sermon and it just reminded me of how blessed I am to have what I do have. We live in a world where we always want more. If we just took the time to realize what we do have, we will see how blessed we truly are. To have a roof over our heads, money in the bank, food in the fridge, clothes to wear and water to drink we are so much more blessed than some people in this world. The list can go on forever but its the small things that we take for granted that truly make us the richest people in this world.
     I was feeling overwhelmed because there is so much to do around the house that I feel like the hours in the day are not enough for me to do everything. I have a daughter that needs constant attention and a husband that I love to cook for and have come home to a clean house. But I finally realized that the house being a mess is just proof that its being lived in. We are living comfortably and I cannot be more thankful for the hard work my husband puts in for us to have the life that we have. God has truly blessed me with a hardworking man. Remember to let your loved ones know how appreciated they are.
   Finally, I woke up sick to my stomach because I had WAYYY to many doughnuts yesterday. Its become a tradition it seems like in this family to get a box of doughnuts after church on Sunday. We watched the football game (Go Panthers) and just had an awesome time chilling on the couch. Sunday is the only day we get to have where we can really relax and re-energize for the following week. We get to spend much needed quality time together and just be in each others presence. I always look forward to Sunday. As far as working out, I haven't been.  I've been enjoying this time with my family but I cannot wait to start working out again. I cannot thank the BBG community and my friend Michelle enough for keeping me motivated, you all have truly been a blessing :)

Thank you so much for reading, until next time have a blessed day/night!
