How often should you step on the scale when trying to lose weight? Before we get into it, how did your week go tracking what you ate and drank? I took the challenge as well to track on my phone and it didn’t great. Traveling across the country to surprise my dad for his birthday probably distracted me a little! So, I have multiple half completed days logged. Today, has been awesome. My goal is just to finish strong today. Then, do it again tomorrow!

I’m curious did the title of this post…

The amazing part is that I’ve lost 71 pounds while coming out of an unhealthy marriage. With the…

Abuse is an issue within the Christian church whether we talk about it or not. Abuse within “Christian” marriages is a reality for many. From my research, statistically 1 in 3 women experience abuse.

I was in a “Christian” marriage for 5 years. I had the church wedding. Met him at Bible college. I have attended church all my life and grew up in a Christian home. I believe in Jesus Christ and I have labeled myself a Christian…

I have dreams that I talk about. I have a few dreams I keep to myself.

You know the ones I’m talking about. The ideas so precious you can’t tell anyone. Why do you keep them a secret?

For me, I’m scared.

Scared if I tell someone I’ll be laughed at because they are big dreams. Scared I’ll be told I can’t accomplish it. I’m scared if I say it out loud then that dream won’t become real, and it’ll never happen. I’m scared I can’t do it and I will look like a fool. I’m scared to give up what I’ve…
