Thank You!

The chains of yesterday surround me

I yearn for peace and rest

I don't want to end up where You found me

And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight

I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west

And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned

But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away

From You leaving me this way

You know that moment when everything just seems right in the world? I think I had one of those moments today. I felt like I was right where I needed to be at just the right moment and I was happy. 

Today started as every other day... woke up with about 15 mins to get myself together and run out the door (to class this time instead of work)! (Two)Three hour classes, twice a week + 2 online classes sucks but is all that will fit into my lovely work schedule however, I atleast have one (of two) instructors that I like and I dont mind listening to her teach for 3 hours. Then after coming home and spending about an hour on the phone with Sprint, I got my new phone activated and ready to go! Lets just say I am in love! Then of course the dreaded Stats class. I am good at Stats, dont get me wrong, but my instructor is a knucklehead! hahah He is so smart that he has NO IDEA how to dumb the subject down for his students and they are so incredibly confused. Well we had class last over 1 1/2 week ago and when we came back from Fall Break today, we were met with a test. It was funny to hear all the sighs of awkwardness and frustrations and watch people fidget in their chairs. Of course, he has no idea that he is not helping his students cause he just doesnt want to realize it even when we try to explain to him we need him to dumb it down. My favorite thing about him is he calls derivative dividend. hahah

After Stats tonight, Lisa made me dinner and we chatted/watched some of The Voice before I headed out to the gym! I love that I have such a great friend that looks out for my well being. I couldnt ask for such a wonderful friend even when she ignores my calls/text messages and vice versa! hahah just kidding (inside joke) Holley tried to kill my gym time with some no bake cookies... chocolate, pb, and oatmeal! I almost fell for your tricks Holley Jean!! ;) I did try a little bit before she dumped out the 1st batch (she added some vanilla pudding... delicious but we agreed too dry!)

Gym time with Victoria was great as usual. Glad we got out there despite feeling so sore from yesterday. Not to mention, I LOVE THE RESULTS of our dedication thus far. I wore a size 6 jean today and I even put on a size 4 that I was able to button up with some wiggle room around the waist but my butt was just too big and I couldnt handle it being that squashed in those jeans but it certainly put a smile on my face! I love being comfortable with myself again... I was almost tipping the scale at 190 lbs back in July and now I am teetering 140-150 and I've never been more comfortable. 

For those who have been praying for me and checking on me... I just want you to know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have been my inspiration in bettering myself and I give the credit to you for helping me keep my head up during the rough times sometimes it was words of encouragement and other times they were words that I didnt want to hear but needed to hear... each and every one of you know who you are and again I thank you. I was in a very dark place a few weeks ago and if it wasnt for your encouragement, I may not have made it through. I continue to keep my head up high and I just want to send a little shout out to Ronna, my daddy's lovely wife, the day you sent me the link to that video along with your kind words days prior it made a difference in my world and I am happy to report that I find myself getting closer and closer to achieving what you said I would. I am very happy to have you in my life... thank you for being you! 

However folks, continue to pray for me as I have some decisions to make tonight and over the next couple of days and I will be moving (hopefully in the next week or so), I feel like there is so much to do and not enough time in the day but I know with His help I will make it thru!
