It's Easter!!!
Today I am being baptized. I am celebrating what Christ has done in my life over the last few years, so why am I so nervous? Why am I trying to make this day that is all about Christ about me? I am a sinner and do not deserve the credit. The only reason I get to stand up today and make the public declaration is because of Christ and what he has done. I pray that all of you will remember what Christ has done for you in this season and always.
All my love,

Walls
So, everyone knows that in any thing we do there is bound to be a wall. I think this week I have hit a few of them. I have been trying to ram my way through and ending up feeling beaten and bruised. What do you do when you are approaching that wall and the only way around it is to go straight through? I have a great support team who does not let me get to the wall and just give up, which has been my pattern, they make me run full force into it and keep running out the other side. I just want to continually thank my team for not letting me give up at those walls.
This week has been a big wall week for me. I am working through a big sin issue that has held me captive for many years and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. During my walks I have been striving to move faster and jog longer so that I can continue to move up in the mileage again. Just when I think I can't go any farther there is the helping voice of a friend pulling me along.
Also, this Sunday, Easter, I am being baptized. This is something I have been think about for many months now and finally with the help of God, my pastor, and my team I am ready to make a new declaration of who God is making me to be. The only thing I am nervous about is giving my testimony in front of the church. But I know that God will give me the right words and I am doing this as an act of obedience to my Savior.
Christ died for my sins so I am free to share what he is doing in my life.
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptized into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised for the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in the newness of life." Romans 6:3-4
God bless you all! Have a wonderful Easter celebrating what our Lord has done for us!

What's Up World!
Hey all!
As many of you know I have been on a life changing journey for the past 4 months. In January of this year I came to my church community and told them that I was finally ready to listen to God's call in my life to get healthy. Three days later I had my first hard core workout and another two days after that I moved out of my parent's home and in with my friend's the Hancock's. This journey has tested what I knew about myself and my abilities and has opened my eyes to the love and support that is constantly surrounding me. In beginning this journey I was also put on a strict diet and work out plan. Along with getting my body healthy I am working on getting my spiritual heart healthy. I was asked to go through a book called "You Can Change" by Tim Chester. This book has been hard to go through because it makes me examine what is going on in my heart and sometimes what I see there is not pretty. I have also been truly enjoying working through those issues that have come up and know that I am learning all kinds of things about myself and my God.
The only reason I have started this journey is because of God and the only reason I can continue is because of him also.
I look forward to being able to share more about what is going on and how I am changing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
God Bless you all!
