My life has been super busy lately between nannying for two different families and helping out with the track and field team at my Alma Mater, Hilmar High School and helping my sister move into her new house; I realized last week that February was half way over and that my birthday was just a week away... Well folks today is my birthday! I don't feel any different than yesterday, but that doesn't stop the new number I know have to say when asked my age... and I know 23 is nothing to complain about.
As you've read from a post about my summer, I had mentioned taking time off from school, I'm not sure the reason(s) why God led me to take a break, one thing I do know is that in just six months I have fallen even deeper in LOVE with Almighty Dad :) I've built stronger healthier relationships new and old and let go of A few unnecessary ones. I've also been learning about God's grace... Most of the time I feel that I don't deserve His grace, but that's the cool thing about grace it's not something you earn! Which has taught me how to be gracious towards others, I'm only human so I'll tell you now this is no easy feat!
Sorry, I got sidetracked and a little carried away! Back to being 23... Today I woke up feeling 60, my body aches! Especially my back it's been hurting for about a week and I think it has only gotten worse. Thus explaining and concluding the 37 year age gap. Physically I feel old. :(
I'm thankful that I've been able to experience yet another year in my life. And thank you to all of you for being a part of my life big or small, bad or good... Thank you!

Determined
I. Am. Determined.
To stick with or start and complete some of my resolutions. I've been reading the Bible every day which has been a struggle for me. It's not that I don't want to read it. It's the time commitment and just doing it... I have been reading, but I'm really starting to lose interest in reading and it might be because I'm still in the books of the law.
I've also decided to be healthier I've taken baby steps to eat more fruits and veggies and have been trying to cut a lot of the junk food out of my diet... Instead of eating chips I've been eating carrots or apples ( I think it helps that carrots and apples are crunchy just chips....). And when I'm craving something sweet I've been adding just a little bit of chocolate syrup to a glass of milk. The other part of being healthier is getting into shape... And I really struggle with this because it doesn't come as easily as it used to, lets face it I'm not in high school anymore and I'm not playing any sports like I did in high school... I miss the days where I looked forward to playing soccer or running after school because that's what you do when you're still in school (I mean that's what I did). So yesterday I put on my running shoes and ran for 2 miles... I'm not gonna lie it was so hard for me just to get out the door. Running wasn't as bad as I thought it would be it was hard to keep going and after about 1.5 miles I needed to walk because it was getting hard to breathe. I only walked for about a minute because the wind picked up and I was getting cold.
I'm really needing an accountability partner(s) to make sure that I've done some sort of active for the day. Can you hold me accountable? I'll even say the magic word... PLEASE?
I'm planning on blogging about my progress, so stay tuned :)
