Well tonight marks my first of hopefully many entry's to my new blog. Right now I am laying in my bed with a candle lit and listening to some praise music. I feel so relaxed. My day started off by me waking up earlier this morning to do the Insanity workout...wow and is that hard or what! Now I have always thought I was in good shape but when I do that workout, i am not gonna lie..it kicks my butt! In addition I have been feeling nauseous because of the medicine I am on (had surgery to remove my wisdom teeth last week). And on top of that it takes all my energy away! No good :( So you can imagine what I am going through. Today I took the two girls I nanny for (ages 11 and 13) to the Fort Worth Zoo. We actually beat the rain because we went early enough and had a great time. We pretty much covered everything in 2 1/2 hours. I think that is a pretty good record! Then as soon as I came home I headed to my comfy bed for a nap...although I wasn't able to sleep...sooo I read a couple more chapters in the book I am reading: "Going All the Way" by Craig Groeschel. Great Book! Craig talks about preparing for a marriage that goes the distance with God as first priority. It is teaching me so much. Then I watched a sermon from him that I will post for you all... http://www.lifechurch.tv/watch/once-upon-a-marriage/1
I would really recommend his book for anyone who is at that point in their life that is longing for a relationship that has potential and substance; one that is pure and blessed by God. What I am learning is that God must be your One...you must learn how to fully depend on Him and fall in love on Him before you can be prepared to love your Two (your future spouse). I am going through hard times right now after breaking up with my boyfriend and best friend of 3 years. I am having to learn how to depend on God and his love to heal my heart and fill me up. It is not always easy to trust Him but it requires a lot of faith and selflessness. I encourage you all to examine the relationships in your life...Are you putting anyone of those before God? Are you noticing that there is something in the way of going all the way to knowing who Jesus is? If that's the case, stop, pray about it and ask God to forgive you and help you to make the changes in your life that can lead you closer to Him.
