Daily Update!

I JUST WALKED MY FIRST 5 MILE WALK!!! YEAH!!! I am officially nearing the end of my 4th week of training for the 3-day 60 Mile walk, and I WALKED 5 MILES!!!!! AAAACK!!! If you would have asked me when I first started training a few weeks ago, I would have NEVER thought that I would be able to walk 5 miles in one go!!!! Whew!! That is such a GREAT feeling!!  Anyway, my goal for the week is to walk 17.5 miles by the end of tomorrow, my week starts over every Sunday, so far I think I have 15 miles down already, and with my planned 4 tomorrow – I should be good to go!!! YEAH!!!

In regards to my list that I created yesterday, “10 Things I Hate About Myself”, besides my healthy, which I have been working on – I am actively working on cleaning up my bedroom, and getting my Christmas decorations put away; I am also looking at couches at mentally planning how to to rearrange the main floor of my condo so that it better reflects the real me!! Busy! Busy! Busy!!
Onward!

Daily Update!

Well, it has been a very busy day!!! My sister-in-law, nephew, and niece all spent the night last  – it was like a great big slumber party!!! Thank you, sis, I really needed that!!! 🙂

After taking them home this morning, I got to work extremely early, which is a huge feat for me!! Not only that, but I literally got THE BEST parking spot on the flat lot! WOW!!! Ok, so I was ready to go to my office, and that is when it happened! I took a terrible spill just as I was about to cross the street. I slipped and was literally covered in mud up oneside and down the other!!! I hurt myself something terrible, but all I could do was laugh and cry at the same time!!! I composed myself, picked up my belongings and managed to figure out how to get back into my car without getting mud on anything – thank goodness!! Drove myself home, and made it back to work at my regular time, and had to park on the 5th floor!!!! LOL! Oh, well, there is always tomorrow!!! 😉

What else?? Well, work went by quickly! I am so thankful for my girlfriend Chris, she is my office mate and partner in crime. Sometime she can talk me down from dramatic ledge on most any day – and lately, I have really needed it!!! Today was our first day that we are getting back to walking – that is such a great energizer especially during a stressful work day!!

After work today, I took myself to the track and I officially started training for the Susan G Komen 3-Day 60 Mile walk, it was only 1 1/2 miles, but it is a start!!! So, here we go – there is no turning back now! I am excited to accomplish this goal, not just for my mother, but also for myself. I have not been the #1 on my priority list in a VERY LONG time.

Chores: dishes, laundry, vacuum, oh my! Get the mail, pay bills, and bathe my girls – and that about sums my day up! Not too exciting, but there you go.

Have a fabulous night, I will try to write again tomorrow. I figure it would get pretty lonely around here if it weren’t for this little computer that my sweetie bought me. He may never know how much I appreciate that gesture.
Goodnight,
Christina 😉

Update!

I have such a big week coming my way – I just pray that I am able to make it through all that I have to do this week!!! Life has been pretty crazy, but whose isn’t, right?

It is midnight right now – much later than I am used to staying up!! I am watching Joel Osteen on television right now – he is speaking about how the wind is shifting, and God has a new direction coming for my life. He says that I will come into opportunity that will boggle my mind, I really hope that is true!! I am in need of some favor and increase! My plan is to stay in faith, and to keep my eyes on Him so that I don’t let my personal troubles, cause me to stop following His lead. The events of the last 15 years has molded me into who I have become, so I am thankful for that, but I have to stop carrying my baggage from my past into the future that God is going to use to lift me up!!

Ok, so you know that my mom died in 1999 of breast cancer. Well, I have always talked about doing something in remembrance and in honor of her life. She left 5 girls behind, which I am the oldest of, and I have decided that this year will be the year that I do one of the scariest things I have ever thought about doing, in honor of her. I have decided to walk the Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60 Mile Breast Cancer Walk!! EEK!! I have 35 weeks to prep for that walk, and at the size that I am, I am going to need EVERY day of training to get ready for that big weekend!!! 2 of my sister-in-laws have agreed to do the walk with me – that is just soooo AWESOME!!! This year really is the year of big change!!! I know that I am highly favored!! I know that God will bring people into my life to help me get to the right place at the right time. This is my decade of favor, this is my decade of dream being met, this is my decade to go above and beyond where I am at now.

“Arise, shine…for the glory of the Lord is upon you.”

-Isaiah 60:1



Thank you, Lord, for Joel Osteen, and for having me turn on the television to exactly the right channel, at exactly the right time, during my time of need. Help me stay focused on You and Your will for my life! I pray for J, I know that he is struggling, trying to find himself, and his happiness, but Lord, I pray that he not only finds himself, but he finds You first and foremost. Thank you for my support system, those women that make my life full, and rich – I know that I am blessed greatly!! Stay with me tonight, as I take myself to bed for a few hours of sleep before work in the morning, and help me wake with a smile on my face, joy in my heart, and a song of praise on my lips. I know that You have taken care of us in the past, You take care of us now, and I KNOW that You will continue to take care of us in the future. Thank you so much for that!!! I am extremely grateful to You! I love You so much, and no matter what happens, I love my husband too, even if it has to be from afar.

In Jesus name,
Amen!
