Updates.

Here are a few updates from the past few days and today...


First of all, I just wanted to say that writing down what I'm thankful for really helps me. Seriously, it works. I wrote my Thankful post late Wednesday night, and the next day I felt 100% better. It was amazing, I must say. Our Lord truly does listen to everything we say-- even the small things, and I'm so very grateful for that.

Also, [I'm hoping this doesn't come off as I'm bragging, I'm just trying to keep myself encouraged and motivated] I've been doing pretty well with my exercising. I've finally come to the realization that exercising is just a part of life. It's not something you only do if you want to lose weight. It's not something you only do if you're going to eat well that day. If I have pizza for lunch, that doesn't mean that I can't still do some activity, just because I ate a "bad" food. I guess I'm just realizing that I've had the wrong mindset about exercising and eating right for so long. This may sound silly and it may not make sense, but it's just something I've been thinking about a lot lately.

Finally, I just wanted to let my sweet manfriend* Wayne know how very proud I am of him for the decision he's made recently to accept Jesus as his Savior and join the Christian faith. This is truly the most important decision any person could make, and I am filled with joy about it. I'm amazed at how God has shown Himself to Wayne and me throughout this past year and a half. Thank you, Lord, for all Your many blessings.


*I'm with Carrie Bradshaw on this one.
