Desire for Food vs. Desire for God

It’s no secret that I’ve dealt a lot with food, I’ve shared a lot about my food/weight struggles. Food has been a comfort to me in times of bad, and good. It has been something that I use knowing that I have full control on what I eat and how much I eat. Unfortunately, food…

4 Suggestions to Help Parent in 2024

I think we can all agree that parenting is so difficult, but parenting in 2024 can be even more so. While some things never change, there seems to be much more pressure in different areas than when I was in school! My 13 year old (she’ll be 14 near the end of the month) daughter…

Dealing with the Big “D” Word

Dealing with the big “D”. Originally, I had plans to write about something else, something that didn’t have to do with depression. But I’m going to be honest with you all, it’s something that I’ve been struggling with for quite a while. My goal in this blog has been to be real and open with…

What is my Identity?

Recently I’ve been struggling with my identity. Who am I? Who am I outside of a wife, mom, Pastor’s wife, sister, friend, daughter. I struggle with knowing who I am, and what I am meant to do. I sometimes feel like I’m useless and I’m not contributing to our family, or really anything. I’m a…

Weight Loss Journey Update

One thing that I really can’t stand is when I feel like I have failed. I may not have failed, but I may think that I have. When I get that feeling, it’s so hard for me to shake it off. (Que Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off song!) When I get in the feeling of…

Living with a Thankful Heart Every Day

Thanksgiving just passed, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! My family and I traveled to my parents house, and it was a wonderful time! It was nowhere near relaxing, but spending the time with my family, busy or not, is always a great time! I hope you all experienced the same…

Having Patience

If you ask my husband what is one word to describe me the best, I’m pretty sure that word wouldn’t be patient. Not that he would ever mean that in a mean way, but my patience runs very, very low. I’ve always been a person who wanted fast results. I hate waiting for things to…

The Importance of a Healthy Mindset

Most of you know that 5 weeks ago, I started this new health journey. It hasn’t been easy at all, but it has been rewarding. In 5 weeks I’ve lost 20lbs and 2oz. If I was comfortable enough with telling you my starting weight, then you’d understand why this is an enormous accomplishment for me!…

Learning to deal with Emotions

I have never been one who could handle emotions well. I get overwhelmed easily, and I shut down. Emotions, especially negative ones, really scare me. My emotions range from all different things. Cravings for foods that I can’t eat on this new health journey, my kids not being treated fairly by friends, anxiety different things,…

Weight Loss Journey

This isn’t a typical post that I would go for, because it’s something very personal to me, and something that I’m quite sensitive about. However, I decided this might be one way for me to stay accountable on this journey. I figured, why not bring you guys along on it? This will not turn into…
