How To Overcome The Fear of Failing

Do you ever feel so lost that you don't know what to do, what decision to make, what path or direction to take or go in, or who to lean on during these times? I have and to be honest, I am going through this exact season right now. This has been one absolutely challenging, yet rewarding year. A year that I have learned a lot. I have learned so much about God and my ever-changing relationship with Him.

I feel like I've been walking with my head down all month, worried I might trip or fall if I'm not careful where I step. But what I have failed to do, is look up. To look around me and to see what God is trying to tell me. It didn't hit me until the other day...and especially yesterday.

How To Run & Build Your Own Online Fitness Business

If you've been following my journey, you will see that being presented with the opportunity to run and build my own online fitness business was no accident. I truly feel it in my heart that God lead me to this.

It's been over 4 years since I started my fitness journey, one that planted the seed for any of this to happen. One that I never even knew would blossom into the most amazing experience I'd ever live. No longer just a vision, but an actual reality that I get to live daily. I am so blessed to wake up every morning with a passion burning so bright inside of me that not only challenges me, but helps me grow and become a better person each day. To know that I am making a difference in at least one person's life and giving them the life they always dreamed of. One with happiness and confidence to be proud of who they are.

The Difference Between God And Religion

One year ago, on this very weekend...we found our home here with CCV (Christ Church of the Valley). A day that I will never forget. One that I know, God was behind 100%. I honestly cannot believe it's already been one year. A whole year has passed by and yet it still feels like it was only yesterday that we were feeling extremely anxious, nervous, and excited for what this new journey would bring.

One that was never planned, thought out, or intentional. But that's how God works. Always working behind the scenes. Always methodically planning every inch and aspect of our lives. The Creator and Doer of all...even what seems as the impossible.

How We Paid Off 18k in 8 Months

Well hello there!! Wow, I can't believe it's been awhile since I have posted. Life has been way more crazier than I could have ever imagined. But absolutely REWARDING! God has truly blessed both my husband and I in so many ways over these last few months. Everything that has happened, is all because of Him.

A little over a week ago, I eagerly shared how because of God's direction and leading...we have been able to pay off 18k in 8 months. In no way was this easy or did it come natural to us. To be honest, we have made some really poor and unnecessary financial decisions in our past. Ones that we really had to buckle down and pray to God to help us find a way out...and this one was 1000 times worse.

Detoxing the Soul

It's been awhile since I have posted and I must admit, I have been battling a bit lately. Nothing that I can't overcome, but it has been effecting all areas of my life. Truth be told, I am battling some depression. If you have read my previous posts, I am very open about my bouts and moments that I have with it. I have suffered from depression since I was younger. At one point it had almost become an accessory like a purse or shoes. Everywhere I went, it would go too.

As I was sitting in church today, something amazing happened. One of our several incredible pastors said something that struck me so hard. I felt completely winded, immobilized, and slowly as if my body had broken and shattered into millions of pieces. Tears streamed down my face so fast I couldn't even hide them from those around me.

Hypothyroidism & Food

It's been two months since visiting the specialist about my hypothyroidism. Something that hasn't left my mind. I'll admit, it was a rather defeating moment for me after realizing that I was not going to get the answers that I truly wanted and felt I deserved. When you feel as all hope is lost...you feel confused, hurt, sadness, anger, and you even may want to give up. I've never been a quitter, but that thought had crossed my mind a few times. But then, I decided that all I needed was God and to become informed on my own.

I started doing my own research. It was more overwhelming than I ever expected. So many sources, so many different pieces of information. But I didn't allow that to stop me, day after day...and night after night...I kept searching for answers. Truth is, prayer is what helped me through all of this. See, no matter how down you are or how alone you feel, God is always there for us.

This Is What Living Feels Like

Exactly one week ago I sat in this room packed with 1,500 other people waiting for an experience of a lifetime. Music blaring, lights glowing, and the excitement that you could literally feel from everyone who was there. It was electrifying. I still get butterflies when I think about how I sat there and watched my life on play-back...every single event, every single memory, experience, situation, feeling...to how I got to sit in that exact seat and wait for what was about to happen in the next 3 days.

I truly believe that nothing is coincidental. That every single thing has purpose, reason, and rhyme to it.
