Healing

      Healing.  That's what I've been focusing on this year.  My definition of healing?  "Being able to move on. Leave the past behind and forgive so that my wounds stop hurting."
    Those of you who know me well, know I am from a broken family.  And when your family is broken, you are too.  Slowly and gently God has put back together the peices that were shattered on the floor of my heart.  Yet even as God was putting those peices back, the devil was tearing others down.  I was allowing myself to heal in some big ways but getting bitter and more broken in others.  When I began my fitness journey the first of this year, I told my self and God that I was going to become whole in body and spirit.  I did not realize what that would require of me.  Now I know.   Sometimes it is so hard to let go. This weekend I was focusing on what Jesus did for me and realized I can't forgive one person for something that was really pretty little in comparison, yet He...He forgave the whole world?????!!! So as I work my body every morning for 2 hours at the gym in hopes to get my "farm girl muscles" back, I'm focusing on working my spirit as well.  Whith every curl I am allowing myself to let go.  Each day I am asking God to help me forgive, and realizing that the more that I hold on to the things that hurt me the more hurt I become. The more I just get eaten up inside.  If I want to become a better person it starts inside of me not outside. I'm working  them both together and learning as I go.   For those people who hurt me they are just humans just like me. God loves me too just as much as he loves them. I need to stop holding on to years gone.   I need to live in the present not the past.  I need to set an example for my own children.  I want the cycle of hurting ones children to end with me.   I can't do that if I'm still allowing myself to be hurt however I can do that if I allow myself to heal.  This was one of those healng moments.

Just a quick peak into my heart!

A Little Nuget From Our Day

Hey everybody
    our day has gone pretty good so far.  We made it to the gym bright and early this morning !!!!!

Only to come home and find that the dogs had gotten into the meat that I was defrosting on the counter!! Needless to say those two little buggers are going to spend the rest the day outside. Thankfully it's not too cold so I can do that!   It's in the 60s today. After lunch me and the kids headed off to the laundrymat because the children were out of clean underwear!!! AKA my kids need to stop wetting their pants! Actually as far as potty training and  is going they are both doing splendidly! I am so proud of them!  Little Daniel has not pooped his pants and at least two weeks!  This my friends is happiness!! We're talking about the little boy who poops and smears or who used to poop and smear.  Hope I Did not just jynx us there! :)   Thank you Lord that he's over that... I hope!n. Now I'm just sitting here in the car waiting for the laundry to be done will my two munchkins taking a nap in the backseat! life is good!!

Monday

Have you ever had one of those days you just not sure how to handle..and you just don't want to Handle at all.  That would be my Monday.  Some how I managed to book my own head 3 times and watch my kid break the TV all in a span of 2 hours.  But then next thing I know both my baby's are asleep and it's  quiet and life is good because God is good.

And that's when I can handle things again.  When God gives me the grace to remember that material things don't last, and goose eggs heal in a day or two,  but the heart of my 3 year old boy is precious and should be treated gently. 

Hope you have a good Monday!!!

Weekend madness

Well hello there!
  Quick update on our week.  I think we finally got into a routine with this last week.  I cannot tell you how amazing it is to have a good daily routine with kids again.  After 3 months of what seemed like pure madness, this has been so amazing for me and my children.   They have been doing so well. 
We started some preschool with mainly Danny this week.  Letters numbers and colors.  He already is so smart.  And Lexi is jumping in and learning too.  I over heard her trying to count this morning.  I made out "7,8,9,10".  I was like wow, my baby is not even 2 yet!  This is awesome!! :).  

  Highlights of the week:
1# Hitting the gym 5 days this week.   This year has been really awesome for me when it comes to health.  I decided to becoming healthier in 2016.  And I've done just that.  Not only do I feel great.  My self confidence has gas gone way up:).  I have been on plexus for  2 months now.  I can so tell the difference.  Thanks to my awesome friend, Laura!  

#2 Been reading through proverbs and the Gospel of John.   God has so blessed me.  And the closer I get to Him the more in awe of Him I am! 
#3 Working on our 2016 budget.  I know I'm kinda getting started late in the year on this.  But with financial changes comes a new budget.  Not exactly a high light.  But it's been keeping me busy!  #4 Watching my kids play with playdough.  I know that seams unmajor, but seriously it's the cutest sweetest thing ever.  They make me purple tortillas, and yellow bread.  This stage in their lives is just precious. 

That's all.  I know there are no pictures, but that's because I'm on my phone.  I will log in later and add photos.  So check back later if you want to see our cute faces! :)
