exploring.

moving is such a crazy thing.

i'm still not really settled...

my little pupster isn't here yet, but will be soon! so, that's good news!

i think exploring will be a lot more fun when she is here to share that experience with me.

my job is great&i'm really excited about it! i love it up here, & i will only love it more once i meet new friends.

fall i believe has arrived! :] i'm loving the crisp aiR...

toodle-loo.

deal with it.

what an awesome, exciting time in life!

i just moved & haven't completely gotten settled in to my new lifestyle; still trying to figure out my routine. but, i'm taking it baby steps at a time.

 

there's many things i have been wanting to share, but haven't been able to!

what i want to really share today tho is a book i am currently reading.

it's awesome because it describes me so well&is going to help me A LOT!

some of you may laugh, but it's really great.

titled delivered from distraction, this book helps those who have ADD kinda just like deal with it!

anyways, the thing was, i either keep complaining about how ADD my life was or do something about it! so, i'm taking all this information in with everything i have and really putting some of the practices into my lifestyle.

 

when struggling with some type of disorder or even an illness, becoming knowledgeable about what you are going through can really help you move forward and make some changes. you become aware that you aren't the only one who struggles with this&more facts that help you realize even minor changes you can make to make your disorder easier on you!

 

i don't think it will change the type of person you are either. if anything, it makes you build upon your strengths instead of focusing on your weaknesses. because guess what, WE ALL HAVE THEM! & if anyone thinks they are perfect: all of us have sometime in our lives said we were sorry. whether when we were younger or it could have been five minutes ago. therefore, you aren't perfect. anyways..back to my original stuffs...the traits that you are strong in can only become stronger when you focus on them.

 

so DO IT! go out and be confident with it&go buy a book on what you struggle with. you can only get better if you study it. :]

 

& no you aren't crazy. if anything, you're smart for being proactive.

olympics.

holy goshness. my life has been consisting of a lot lately.

work, reading, work, sleeping, gluten free research, gluten free cooking, work, funerals, work, weddings, friends, road trips, work, checkin' out other blogs, job searching, interviews, work.

Jesus is definitely saying, slow down ames. slow the mess down.

however, what has been really fun is watching the olympics.

when the olympics first came, i was just confused as to why it would be really intriguing because i just never had time to watch the olympics when they came on during summers & winters in the past.

i have enjoyed the olympics so much this year. to hear of amazing stories of passion and dedication to different sports is amazing. i am so proud to be from a country of such talented individuals, but also to see others from other countries succeed as well! God made us all so different and it's so neat to see how Olympians from other countries compete with those with a certain common denominator of a certain sport.

i'm really excited about the next few weeks.

concerts&weddings! :]

resting.

whew.

tons o' changes && just stuff going on right now. i have three jobs, two that are on the side & i have become engulfed with work it seems. this would happen to me because i can never say no. issue.

working on that.

i'm going gluten free for a bit to see some changeee in my lifestyle. as some of you know, health can be an issue for me at times, & i'm a fighter! so, POW! take that gluten!

& my glutenless diet is going swell! feeling great! had some issues by not eating enough the first couple days, but like i said. fighter. [[&& the Christina Ag song fighter...i know all you 90's babies were singing it.]]


needing to find that balance.

with work, summer events, & researching my new lifestyle of eating [chomp!], i've been thinking about the things i miss like reading & spending time with Jesus. also, been contemplating a lot of my passions. i'm a deep thinker.

however, [my] thoughts lead to over analyzing while prayer leads to resting.

keep my eyes on You, Lord.

loves in life.

here is a little glimpse of my loves in life lately.

[the precious pup, of course!]

[the super, awesome background i got from my super, awesome great gee!]

happy monday!

society.

oh hi!

sorry for the delay in blogging. life has been crazy whack. ready to get back to the grind.

i am so [disturbed&disgusted] by the ridiculousness i found on the internet the other day. i was looking at a couple things on twitter, just browsing through some profiles when i came across this nonsense:

"Sorry slut, your vagina doesn't have a delete history button."

tweet from @CauseWereGuys

i am appalled by this & how society makes women out to be a "slut" for being with numerous people, but giving men no responsibility for actions.

let me make myself clear on this however:

i am not saying that men will not take responsibility for a woman sleeping with multiple men. women ARE responsible for sleeping with multiple people. however, i am upset at how men can sleep with multiple women are nothing is said, but if a woman does, she is viewed as a "slut."

a woman's number could be the same as a man's, however she is viewed differently.

i think this is completely wrong and disgusting especially for our society to be at this point.

&& women, if you are affected by this type of negative talk, there is grace..

there is a "delete history" button in the sake of JESUS. He gave his life to take away our mistakes.

there is NOTHING that we can do to take the gift of grace and love that Jesus gave us away.

You are HIS, not that of the world. You are His daughter. A Daughter of the King.

whether your number is 1 or 101, there is grace. repent and step away from the enemy who has grabbed hold of you. 

at the same time, someone who agrees with the quoted tweet above would never be a man in my book. these people are not loving people like Jesus; and someone who thinks this is even funny is repulsive.

In His Love-
