It has been a very long time since I last updated my blog and I think it is time, to get back in the grove of doing that. I am reading in Romans and this letter that Paul wrote is really good. He wrote about Struggling with sin. Reading this really was like a letter written to me, of how sin had me bound. I can say that it is okay to let go of sin and choose to live the way that God intended you to live. You will not miss it at all.
So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is the sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't. I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyways. But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. I have discovered this principle of life- that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin. Romans 7:14-25

Hello Blog
I have been M.I.A for a while I know and I have to come back and make it a daily thing, that I visit on a daily..lol. What has been going on in my life? Well, if you were wondering a lot as far as God is in control. As long as you have him in your life, then he will keep you busy if you let him.
I have to start off by saying that God is good and he will never ever change, my weight level is still not good, but I am in the process of getting back on that road to getting healthy for my temple, that God has given me. I was so upset that I stopped eating right and exercising daily, and that this is a cycle that has been going on for like two years for me. I will get in a mood of doing so good health wise for like a month or two and then, just give completely up. I know that this is only the enemy and me allowing him to make me lazy. I am determined to fight with the help of God. He is the only one that I know will be able to pull me through this walk of health.
The Singles at my Church recently went on a retreat reach was very comforting, it strengthening me and really made me wish I had my own place to live with a job, that would allow me to take trips away like that, from time to time, but God is faithful and he will deliver. We attended a workshop and there were great speakers there, given us singles, so many words of encouragement. I took it all in, but the health and wellness topic really garbed me. I realized, that I am a single and I have only me, which means I have nothing but free time. There is no reason, that I am not healthy as I should be. Well, I am praying that God will give me the push and motivation that I need to start this walk of health back up.
I still don't have a job that is full time and I have stopped looking, which isn't good, but I am gonna get back on it, because I need to have income and start a life of my own. I can't allow others to keep taking care of me. I pray that God will grant me the favor, that I need once I start back applying for a Job. I pray that the things I don't have will be over looked, until I receive those things. I know that God wants to do some amazing things in my life and I am gonna stop telling him no and allow him to do those things.
My world of photography is good, and I am so thankful for that talent God has given me, you know I was doubting this whole photography thing and turning down weddings left to right all because of the material, I thought I needed and because I was at time ashamed to even do another wedding with my small camera as I would say. All alone, it was a test from God. I know that he wanted to see how I would do with what I had, before he blessed me with something better. He gave me this talent, so he knew I could preform this task and then he sent the clients, so that right there should have been enough to assure me, that God had my back with just what I was working with. I was just like the children of Israel wondering around in the dry lands. Complaining and not having faith at all. I even faced an obstacle, that really wanted me to give up on weddings period, until I got a better camera. Yet still trying to tell myself what to do with a business, that God had given me. He pull me out of that and I was determined to quit weddings still and my faith was lacking, and basically I was still telling God no when I turned down every person, that called me to do, their wedding. I know that that it is important to listen to God and let him lead you and I try to remember that, in this business. I always would repeat, that I would not buy a camera, but instead it would be given to me. I believed that with all my heart, because everything I had to start the business was given to me. The camera I used and the laptop, the editing software which is free and even the clients, that God sent my way. So being that I didn't have a way to purchase any of the items, I had to trust God. I am thanking God for what he has done and still doing in this business, on the 13th of March I was blessed with a brand new DSLR camera of my choice, a extra lens, a very highly priced camera bag of my choice and other accessories. God worked out everything in his time and all I had to do was to just remain faithful and accept, all the things he had given me. My God is good and I will forever praise him. I know that he will continue to bless me and for that I thank him all the days of my life.

Eighty-Three
It has been a very long time, since I logged my results and sadly I have fallen off big time, but the mindset is still there, so I will continue on going no matter how much I fail. I weighed in on Friday, I needed to know how much weight I have gained and to my amazement I actually lost four pounds. I was excited about that and I figured, that I needed to keep on going. I can't believe that this is day 83. If I would have kept my workout up, I would have noticed a big result in weight loss. No time to dwell on what if, because I am moving on forward. I am determined to get this temple right no matter what. I wanted to just post a result. I will post my daily routines tomorrow. I am gonna let God shift me on through this process and allow him to work in me.

Fifty-Eight
Wow, I have missed a whole week of writing down things. I have to say that my last weigh in, I didn't lose anything and nor did I gain any either. It is good that I didn't gain, but I hate that I did all that work and I was still the same weight. I must admit, that this really made me want to quit this whole thing, but I know I have to keep going. I didn't eat bad, but my work out was not good as I would have liked for it to be. I am still determined to get this weight off and so I am gonna keep going. God wants to do new things and I am gonna allow him to do that.
Day 58
Breakfast: I ate two hash browns and one boiled egg, with a glass of water
Lunch: I skipped
Snack: A small bag of chips
Dinner: grilled piece of pork chop, green beans and two pieces of muffin breads and kool-aid
I jogged today, at my normal pace.
My goals for tomorrow is to start working on some stomach exercise and to eat better than today.I am still gonna keep working on this temple.

Forty-Nine
What great day, this has been I am ready to break through another week and let God guide me through. I have missed a lot of days recording my daily walk in this new healthy life. I can't believe I haven't posted since Tuesday. I have still been eating the same and getting in my workouts so I am still on the same page.
Day 49
Lunch: I had my breakfast as my Lunch. Two pieces of sausages and a half one with toast and a glass of water
Dinner: A piece of turkey breast, carrots, banana and a glass of water
I jogged and walked today my normal length of workout.
I am going into another week and tomorrow is weigh in, I would love to have lost at least four pounds and more if I can get more..lol. I am so excited about my progress and even if I didn't lose, I will not give up and I will keep going. This week, I want to spend more time reading in the word and praying. I also want to get more look at my math. So I am gonna put myself on a plan. I need to get to bed early and get things done that I have neglecting and I so as far as well as more workout. I want to include these things. God will be with me:)

Forty-Four
God is doing some amazing things in my life. He is so good, I never have made it this far on eating right and getting daily exercises before. I would usually go for like a week and a half and then stop. I know that, this is no body but God's doing and I am so thankful for all he is doing and will do. I am beating my flesh and not letting it beat me. I am winning.
Day 44
Breakfast: Two- boiled eggs, two hash browns and a glass of water.
Snack: A grab bag of nacho rings chips
I skipped lunch and dinner. I know that, that wasn't such a smart move, but I will keep on pushing. I did however, walk and Jog today for my normal time and I did 10 sets of jump roping. I was so tired, but I got it done.....Yay me:)
Tomorrow I plan to really get in more stomach exercises and get into my math along with reading more of the word. God is covering me and I thank him.
