Two years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Gastroparesis and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I thought that these diseases were going to take over my life and that I would forever be overweight and unhealthy. Then something changed. I realized that this is my body and I have control over what goes in to it and that through changing my diet and workout habits I could take control. I have also spent more time in prayer and in scripture learning more about God and how much He loves me. I have been on an incredible journey for the past year and I want to share it with everyone!

My Soul is Happiest When....


My soul is happiest when it feels Jesus. I am listening to a song by Third Day called “King of Glory” and singing along and I can feel Jesus so close right now that I have tears in my eyes and my heart feels so full. I love my Jesus and I know that I don’t often put that out there, but I just feel the need to tonight. I think that I need to share it more. I am on a mission to do His work, the work that our Heavenly Father needs me to do, so I need to share my love for Him and His love for me more often with others. 

I will be honest, I have been so caught up in school, kids, life and everything that I haven’t been showing Him all the love that He deserves so I am taking a time out tonight to say- Jesus, Lord, KING OF MY HEART and OF GLORY, I love you and I am grateful and forever thankful for you and what you have done for me! I hope that I can show you that through the work that I am going to spend my life doing for you!

Winding Down For a Little While


Yes, things are finally winding down for about 6 weeks for me, maybe even less. I will only be taking one class in school because I only signed up for two over summer semester, one was only eight weeks and the other is 14 or 16, I’m not entirely sure. I do know that for once in my life I am doing much better in a math class than I am in an English class, which is really strange, but I find it hard to give my opinion of a poem or to compare and contrast two essays and give insight in APA format. Doesn’t make sense to me to ask it to be done that way, but I am not the professor so I am not going to argue. 

My migraines are also winding down. This means that instead of getting one every day, I am now getting them about three days a week, sometimes only 2, and usually those days are subsequent so once they are over I don’t have to continuously deal with them (Praise the Lord for this one!).
So I do have some goals for the next few weeks while I am not going crazy with school work because once August 20th rolls around, it is back on with a full course load again. 

1.       Start working out again. I am not sure if I am going to do Turbo Jam or Chalean Extreme or a           combo of both, I will decide when I wake up today.
2.       Write some blogs for the future so that I don’t go months at a time without posting anything. I feel  really bad about doing this because I really don’t like neglecting you guys or this page.
3.       Do some reviews on a few books that I need to read and a few products that I am wanting to try.
4.       Read a few books for pleasure.
5.       Get out and explore and try new things with the family.
6.       Blog about my experience with Women of Passionate Purpose.

As you can see I have several things going on and I think that I am going to expand my blog to where I write about more than just wellness things, because it helps me with my wellness and I want you all to get to know me a little better as well. I want to keep it lively and interesting. I want to share with you what makes me, well, me. What drives me and what God has made my passions and talents.

I hope to talk to you all again soon and until then I pray that you are all blessed with cool weather (we are in the 100s during the day right now) and rain if you need it. I pray that God provides for your needs and heals those that need it. May Jesus be the love of your heart and the focus of your mind.
