Hey y'all!
Happy Tuesday! Remember how I told y'all how I love surprising people... well, SURPRISE! I obviously love to surprise y'all on when my posts will appear. :D I promise I will become more consistent one day!! But for now... I hope y'all enjoy the surprises!!
For this lovely Tuesday morning I would like to inform y'all on what I've been up to, what's been on my mind lately, and a little word of advice with a pinch of fall food and fitness! :)
Last weekend (Nov. 16-20) I went back to visit my amazing friends in the most magical place on earth! It was seriously so wonderful and refreshing! I went to a Christmas party in Magic Kingdom, reconnected with some of the most kind hearted and lovely friends I could ever ask for, and finished filming a project that will be coming to you soon! It was such a successful trip both for my heart and future. So yea... it was kind of a great last weekend. With that, it caused me to really think about what makes me happy and what I want in life. I struggle so much with this because I don't know what I want to do. I constantly pray about it. I truly believe that God puts us where he wants us to be in certain times of our life. Not to say I'm not happy where I am right now because I really really am, but I struggle knowing what I'm suppose to do and where I'm suppose to be. We have so much power over our lives. We have the power to conquer our dreams! We have the power to say "I want to be here" or "I don't and do want something better/different!" We have the power to go after it! Whether you believe this or not, I do. We can do whatever we want with our lives because with God all things are possible. Thoughts of what I want to do and where I want to be next year were running through my mind all week until this last Sunday.
I went to mass Sunday morning then another ministry service right after. During mass I was really praying about it all-asking God to provide a sign of some sort to help ease me with a decision or reassurance of whatever I'm doing right now is what I'm suppose to be doing. I left mass feeling better and trusting that sometime soon He would show me I'm doing okay and what direction I should keep heading for my life. Then I went to the next service that a lot of my friends from school go to. I almost didn't go because I was late, but something was telling me to just go, so I did. The sermon couldn't have been more on point for me at that time. The Word that day was from James 4:13-17. 14 "Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life?..." 15 "Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'" That's what I needed to hear. We must live with an open hand and heart and submit to His plans for our lives, and stop stressing about whether we're doing it right or not. Walk through open doors when He presents them to you even if you're scared or don't want to. Just go! And don't freak out if another one closes because "when one door closes another one opens." Right? Right!
I was not planning on writing about this today. I initially started this post in a completely different direction, but just like my last paragraph says... you just gotta go with whatever might be happening in that moment in your life rather than freaking out about what you want/try/think you are suppose to do. It's a constant battle for me, but it is so comforting to know that I am right where I'm suppose to be right now and once my next door opens whenever that might be I'm just going to walk through it!
This post became a bit longer so my next one will be more focused on the workouts I've been doing and a few ideas for some holiday treats! I really hope you enjoy this one, friends, because I want the best for y'all and want y'all to always know that we all go through life struggles so you're never alone!
Have a fantastic week!!
