New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 

I want to start by saying thank you all for supporting me and this blog, I could not get far without y'all. Today, in the spirit of new year, I am going to discuss new years resolutions. I have two specific ones this year!

My first is my most important resolution. I want to get stronger in my Faith and in my walk with God. As a Christian I am well aware, and not afraid to admit, that I fail many times in my walk with God. I allow life to "take over" and put other things ahead of what should be first. I'm not afraid to admit that and I know that God loves me anyways. But I don't want to be lukewarm Christian. I want to be someone that when people look at me they see God in me. I want to make people want to learn about God because they see the amazing things He is doing and has done in my life. So how do I plan on doing that? First, I plan on going to church every Sunday. It's so easy to choose to sleep in than to get up and get ready and go to church. Second, Bible study every night! I found some AMAZING bible study plans on pinterest, just look up Bible Scripture Plan; it pulls up what verses to read each day based off specific months and/or specific topics.

M second resolution is one that is considered the "typical" resolution. I want to get in shape and lose weight. I get married this month on December 15th. I need to look good and fit into a dress (yes that's cliche but it's true). So I plan on going on a diet,Trim Healthy Mama, and also start getting more active. I plan on stretching every night and also doing things like crutches, squats, and even doing yoga.

I have a few obstacles that I know I need to overcome in order to be able to conquer these goals. Most and foremost is the devil. The devil is going to do everything he can to put obstacles in my way so I'm not able to strengthen my walk with God. I need to not let him win. Another obstacle is motivation. I have literally NO motivation when it comes to getting active and eating right. I need to find motivation somewhere. I need to teach myself not to settle for the easy route, it is so easy to give up and go get oreo ice-cream (yes I'm wanting it sooo bad right now), I need to remind myself that in the end doing these things will be so worth it!!

So I want to hear from y'all!! What are y'alls New Years Resolutions??

The bad days; What caused them and what do I do?

Some days are just genuinely bad with no rhyme or reason; others are bad because I have become overwhelmed and my PTSD decides to kick and make it a little worse. Both are as equally bad and both can be a pain to try and deal with and calm myself down. This past week was good, I had a conference that aligned with my College major, it was enjoyable. However, toward the end of the conference week, When I was starting to get exhausted from the early to late days and the push I was giving myself mentally to not let the exhaustion get to me, I noticed I was starting to get more nervous. We did this one "simulation" to help us see what it was like in some peoples shoes with higher mental disorders, keep in mind this conference was to train us to interpret in the mental health field, and I figured it would be no big deal I can join in and listen to the tape...well....that was the wrong choice. I put the headphones on, started playing the tape, listened for a few minutes and then fel...

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...
