Reflections of the heart

February 26, 2013

An update for me...

Well hello.
Its been a few weeks since I got on here. I've had a few blogger moments in between though. You know, those moments where God speaks, reveals and just makes Himself known and you are sitting/standing there thinking "I NEED TO WRITE ABOUT THIS!!".

Then you move on with life because you don't carry a laptop on you.
Or maybe you do. Which is PERFECTLY fine. Your dedication deserves a round of claps.

I do wish I could just do this and study the bible and read all day and never have to worry about bills. Because I like to look back on these posts and remember what God has brought me through and what took place, this blog has always been my own selfish little documentation of my life with the Lord.

Many new things are taking place in my life. How many times I have written those EXACT words is probably too high too count. But it's always true.

Like for instance I am apart of my first BRIDAL PARTY. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding. A wedding I have had the pleasure of being apart of since before it was even a wedding. When it was just a dear brother and a lovely sister praying about marriage. And now... I have been apart of helping a man choose a ring for a woman. I have been apart of praying for parents to give their blessing. I have been apart of the beautiful testimony of true love. The purest of kinds...

I started running! Yeah, that one is pretty crazy. I'm still a bit shocked about it. Writing it down and it being true is just, a bit surreal and weird. But the wedding has motivated me to take care of myself and I am so blessed because I spent most of the last 2 years PRAYING for God to help me get motivated to start working out again. Boy does He know just how to answer us. "LET ME MAKE YOU A BRIDESMAID". Also, before the wedding I was officially able to see that I am GLUTEN INTOLERANT. And apparently I am highly sensitive to sugar and get migraines from it. Keep praying ladies.

I have a new addition to my lovely sisterhood named Sarianne. She is a joy and delight but most importantly she really loves Jesus. I went on my first hike in over 4 years with her and through that hike I was able to see just how much zeal I still had in me. I got through it and was blessed at the end because it involved jogging and steep climbing. I loved the before and after picture because a few people thought I was going to die. But they don't know me as the 5 day a week strength and cardio chick I once was. I was quite proud of my before and after pictures. QUITE PROUD INDEED.

relaxing in a tshirt and jeans for the first time in like... a few years... and with no belt!! thank you Levis

Also, I am beginning to transition from the heavy season of dresses I was in. Levis has a new type of jeans that come in different shapes for behinds basically. So, that problem I have always had of finding pants that fit my hips, butt and thighs but are loose around the stomach has been RESOLVED. I am a bold curve fit and I dont need a belt!! So now I'm on a quest to find more t shirts. I understand this isn't very important or necessary but it's a mile stone in my life. I haven't had "jeans" I could throw on with a shirt in years. So I just stopped trying and gave up. And I'm bigger than I was 5 years ago when I could just get some forever 21 pants and be satisfied. That was when I was bootyless. Never again will I loose my behind ladies. NEVER.


Okay, well that is my little life update. It was long and not very deep. But I don't really care because it felt nice to get it off my mind and store it on here for my own viewing pleasure in the future. Gotta love these blogs ;).


Blessings,
♥ CheChe
