Chance vs. Change

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change! If you're not living a healthy lifestyle (spending time in prayer, eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise, also getting plenty of rest, being as stress free as possible) then make some changes to LOVE and HONOR yourself!! Take time out for yourself, treat yourself to some quiet time alone in a room curled up with a good book or out for the day with good friends enjoying a nice healthy lunch or a long walk.  Your body, heart and mind will thank you!!

(By the way, my third 5K is in the books and this one was a virtual Run for God which means I was able to choose my own course and do it at the time of day I wanted to so I chose to do it outside in the drizzle!)

Color Run 2015

My oldest daughter and I did our first Color Run this year and it was amazing!  We had so much fun AND got some great exercise in the process!  This was my second 5K of the year but my first color run so it held every but as much excitement as my first 5K in March!  I can't wait for the next one :)

Women's Rally / Moriah Peters

Our amazing church in Ozark holds numerous women's rallies throughout the year with the big 3 day conference held each October.  This was one of the smaller rallies (they hold 3-4 of these throughout the year) and as always we had an amazing time with God and with our sisters in Christ!  It's such a blessing to be able to gather with thousands of women and hear some of the best speakers and performers out there and this was definitely amazing, we got to see Moriah Peters!  Her new album "Brave" is incredible, particularly "To Leave It All Behind".  Get this album, you won't regret it!

Everlasting Love

Wow, today's devotional really hit close to home for me! Almost daily I worry about whether I am doing all I can be doing as a Christian. I want to live my life as closely to what God wants me to but know that I fall short so many times. Am I living as a good example? Am I sharing His word and love as often as I can? Am I praying enough and reading my Bible enough? Am I doing everything I can to be worthy of His love?

"I love you with an everlasting love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. I have clothed you in My robe of Righteousness and this is an eternal transaction! Nothing and no one can reverse it, therefore your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on My love for you!"

Isn' that amazing and so comforting? No matter how much I doubt myself and struggle with whether I am being the best servant I can it's okay because His love is WITHOUT conditions! His love is unfailing!

My First 5K

If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running a 5K I would have told them they were crazy.  ME, run a 5K?  Heck, me run at all?  Go figure, I did do it and it has changed my life!  I've never been one to exercise and honestly have hated it my whole life.  But with the changes I have made to my life recently, I'm finding that I really like exercise and how it makes me feel.  ACCOMPLISHED.
