Ah, a very, very simple and important question. My answer to that is no. This is one of my down falls.
Now don't get me wrong...I am a God-fearing, praying woman. But, do I always turn to God with my troubles? No. Do I always turn to God and praise or thank Him when I have one of those just perfect days? No. Do I say a prayer for someone who hurts my feelings, offends me, or rubs me the wrong way? Sometimes.
I am in imperfect person made by a perfect God. So, what do I do in these circumstances? I turn to others...my husband, friends, coworkers. I go to them with my complaints and praises more often than I go to God. I need to work on this. I need to be thankful to Him first. I need to turn to Him for answers first. I need to talk about it less and pray about it more!

1 Corinthians 14:15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.
James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Summer=getting fit...right?
Summer is here!!!!
Well, not technically, but my spring semester is finished up which means summer is here for me. I began this blog during a school break (and have since been a slacker with sharing my deeply profound thoughts with the internet world.) So, I feel it is only appropriate that I get back to this fun blogging stuff while I have some free time again.
Taking care of your body is tough. I don't care who you are. It isn't just about counting calories. We have to stay active and make sure that we are filling our body with fuel that is actually healthy. You know...that stuff called nutrients.
I am ashamed at the shape I have let myself get to. As a very active person, I'm quite disturbed that I haven't found ways to take better care of myself even with the hectic schedule of work and school.
So, I am jumping on the bandwagon of blogging about health and weight loss. I will be researching through Pinterest, health mags, other blogs, etc. for realistic ways to stay healthy without devoting unrealistic time to doing so. I mean, come on....we're ALL busy!
Here's my first find...INSANITY! And, as I do this (I plan to only do it three days a week because I want to devote the amount of time to it that I would when I am loaded down with a heavy school load) I will update how I felt about the workouts and the progress that I am making. I have to say that this is not about weight loss for me. Overall, I am not that heavy of a person and I have a pretty petite frame. I'm just getting jiggly and my body is trying to express to my mind that it hates what I have done to it. Maintaning a healthy body is really my goal here.
So, here is the Insanity link I stumbled across on Pinterest. Feel free to jump on the health train with me and keep me updated on your progress and share your healthy secrets!
