Waiting For Tomorrow

Hey Everyone, What comes to mind when you hear the word "Religion"? To me, it brings to mind people who believe differently than I do telling me or fellow Christians that we are "religious" and that they think our "religion" is stupid/doesn't make any sense etc. I hardly ever hear it said in a form of reverence or pride from none believers and believers alike. While the words, in themselves, are not wrong and if you like to classify yourself as religious then that's perfectly fine, but for me, the words don't fit and I could easily say I can't stand them. Jesus Christ is my Savior, He is NOT my religion. I don't live by a set of rules or standards because otherwise I'm going to Hell; I choose to live my life a certain way because I respect and trust my God knows what's best for me. People may not get this, and even some fellow Christians may find my views insulting, but I really don't care. I know that may sound harsh, and m...

Hey Everyone! So I woke up this morning at 4am after falling asleep at 11 and not getting much sleep in between, but instead of tossing and turning, I ended up watching sermons on YouTube and came across Living the Word Church and his sermon series on dating. I have only watched the first one and will probably post something later on, about my thoughts on this matter (I know I kind of touched on it in my "Let's Talk About Weddings" post), but if I can remember later when I have the time, I have some more thoughts I'd like to share. For some reason the hyper link, function is refusing to work (I'll try to fix it later), so if you read this before it's fixed, just type in "How to Get a Man God's Way" in the YouTube search engine. It should be the top one, and if not, like I said, it's posted by Living the Word Church. Sorry about that! Anyways..i t's about an hour long, so make sure you have time to watch the whole thing. I greatly encourag...

Hi All, So this post is going to be short because, although, it's only 4:30pm I'm exhausted, yet I've barely done anything. You know those moments where you are told something and the only way you can describe how it felt was that you were hit by a truck and all the wind was knocked out of you? First off, I just want to say that all though, "hit by a truck" is the expression used in these kind of circumstances, it's not really how it feels to be hit by a truck, I know this first hand after being in an accident where a box truck hit inches from smashing through the driver's door directly; but that is all besides the point. Well I had one of those experiences today, when I was told I'll be needing surgery to remove my many gallstones (apparently I have too many to count). I ended up going to the ER Saturday night, with pain so bad I was in tears, which is very rare because I have an extremely high pain tolerance. The surgery will be in the next couple of...

Hey Everyone, So, this new diet, cleanse, whatever you want to call it is going to be a huge adjustment as I said yesterday. I'm keeping a food log and so far today, I've eaten one fried egg with about a tablespoon of cheese, a banana, and am drinking my first 24 oz cup of Green Tea. Typically it would've been 3-4 eggs with butter, mushrooms, spinach, and cheese, 16 oz glass of V8 Fusion Pomegranate Blueberry juice (which I will still be drinking, but not as much since I'll be so full of  Green Tea I'll be practically living in the bathroom), and an orange. While my breakfast today wasn't terrible (though I've discovered I'm not into Green Tea to say the least), it definitely wasn't the same, nor as filling. I'm going to be eating more like 6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 big ones as much as possible and trying not to eat so close to when I go to bed. On top of my diet changes I'll be doing a foot detox (which I'm currently doing as ...

Hey Everyone! So this blog post finds me excited, a little upset, and a bit nervous. The excitement comes because I'm now embarking on a low-fat diet, while limiting a number of foods that aren't good for my liver and my apparent gallstones. I'm excited to see how doing this will effect how I feel in general and knowing that God will use this to strengthen me. I'm a little upset and nervous because being gluten free is hard enough let alone trying to live by more dietary restrictions. I know that I won't have to entirely give up the foods I love, just eat them in more of a moderation than I have been doing, taking more supplements, while also eating foods that are good for detoxing, but it's not something I was planning on doing so it'll take some adjustments. As humans, we know we're not, but sometimes we feel invincible and as if certain things (like sudden need to change your diet, cancer, etc.) will never happen to us. While I don't think it'...

Hi! So ever since I got that three day migraine last week that I mentioned in my last post, I've been feeling off; not depressed necessarily, but definitely not right. I had hardly any motivation and just wanted to curl up in bed and forget the world. This is un-like me as you probably have figured out from my normally enthusiastic posts (haha!), but nonetheless that's how I was feeling...just proof that I'm human I guess. However, today on my drive to an appointment, I was renewed of my love and enthusiastic feel for life! I had some extra time, as I had left early not knowing how traffic or the roads would be, and figured I'd take care of an errand I had to do instead of just sitting in the parking lot waiting, but instead, God, distinctly, whispered to my soul to continue driving and to sit and listen to Air1 til my appointment. I fought a little bit and thought, "I have the time now, why can't I just run in and get it over with," but He made it clear t...

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry I've been MIA the last week or so, but a lot has been going on. I worked probably about 80 hours since I last wrote, and in between that, Valentine's Day Girl's Night happened as well as I had a three day migraine that reduced my functioning to sleeping and just feeling miserable (thank God for an understanding boss who gave me time off and didn't make me feel bad about it), and then once I got over that I worked some more!  Life is short, but boy can it feel loooong sometimes! Can I get an "Amen"?! I've been pretty tired in general lately (don't know why) and with all that happening the last few days, there have been moments where all I've wanted to do is sleep for 24 hours straight and wake up not tired...can't remember the last time I was actually not at least a little tired, so today I'm compromising and being lazy. I normally counteract my tiredness with optimism and coffee/Red Bull, however this week I'...
