Father's Day

 It's Father's Day. A day to let our dad know how much he is loved and appreciated. A day to spend with him. And a day to walk down memory lane with him. 

Today hasn't been easy. It's not the first without my dad but the second. I don't express my emotions about the situation often because it's easier to keep them locked inside. My father is still alive and well but not in my life. I closed that door. I asked him not to speak with me until he was on good speaking terms with my mother. I did it out of respect of others. I did it out of love. I have no doubt that I was loved growing up but through the pain, that love was not enough for me. I wanted to fix things. I wanted to try and make a way for a relationship to work but it wasn't possible. There was pain and there was suffering. The man I looked up to for so long wasn't the same man I knew anymore. Something was different, something still is different. 

I'm not at the point in my life to reach out to him to try and reconcile but my brother was. My brother, who has the most genuine heart of hearts. The one, aside from our mother, has struggled through this all. He reached out. He wrote words that were full of love and kindness and hope that maybe something has changed only to be punched in the gut with "what you could do for me now". It's heartbreaking to watch someone's view of someone else be completely shattered especially when they are loved ones. It's heartbreaking to know that those "homecomings" that were eagerly awaited for were for someone that didn't even want to try for one last homescoming. Someone that isn't concerned with our feelings anymore.

I won't say there isn't pain on both sides of this situation because there is. Actions were made and we chose to take a side. We didn't take his side. We carry his name but her blood runs in our veins. 

It hurts. Us all. 

I know I'm not the only one that has ever felt this pain. I know I'm not the only one who has lost their father. I know I'm not the only one that wanted things to be different. BUT what I do know is that I have a Heavenly Father who is looking out for me. I have a Heavenly Father who has found beauty in the suffering and has brought pieces back together. He is my greatest comforter and is pouring out  unfailing love. Each year will be different and each year I will cherish the memories I had with my dad as I hold onto Christ's hand through them all. My earthly father did his best raising me and my Heavenly Father will continue to guide me through life. 

Happy Father's Day, Dad. You are loved and cherished. May you see the beauty in each new day. 

#throwbackthursday

 

The girl on the left loved mission trips and hated running (with a passion). The girl on the right still loves mission trips and loves running. 

It amazes me how much has changed in the last six years. Although my mission trips have slowed down, my love for them will never go away. My heart has been left in many countries in the hands of many children. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had and the way God has worked in my heart through each of them. 

Not only has He changed my heart on the mission field, He's changed my appreciation towards physical fitness. So thankful not to be that girl I was in 2010 that hated running but someone who now wants to inspire others on their fitness journey. 

Do you have a story like this?

Please share! 😊

CHAlleNGE

This challenge has definitely brought change. 

I stepped on a scale this weekend and boy does that thing play mind games with you. I don't normally weigh myself because I'm a girl and those numbers discourages me. I've gained weight but I've gained muscle. My clothes fit differently because I've gained muscle. 

Will stepping on a scale change my motivation for working out? 

No. I wanted change and I got it. 

Will I step on a scale again? 

Umm I'd rather measure myself 😂 cause then I can see the real #gainz

Something I Strive For

In our world today there are many things that distract us in our daily walk with the Lord. Music, TV, Internet, and even our friends sometimes. I'm no where near the relationship I want to have with Christ but it's something I strive for daily. 

Ten years ago I was planning on returning to Africa for my second summer there. The summer before I truly felt called to missions and I loved it. There are times my heart longs to return to the mission field and it will someday but for right now my mission is here. 

I'm working on getting that firm foundation with the Lord. 

Embrace & Love your Body

It is the most amazing thing you'll ever own!

Often we find ourself comparing ourselves to others. She's skinny. She's tone. Her skin is amazing. I wish I could do that with my hair like she does. I will never look like that. I'd have to pay money to look that good. 

I have to tell myself all the time not to compare myself to others. I'm 28 years old and I have the most sensitive skin ever it seems like because my face is always breaking out. I thought I was going to be done with acne after high school but it's still there. It's a consistant battle for me not to be envious of someone else's clear skin. I'm cutting out gluten and dairy and trying new detergents (once again) but even while doing that I need to love myself because my "problems" aren't problems at all. They are spects on a scale to others who are fighting for their health. 

When I am loving myself to the fullest then I am able to love others to the fullest. 

"Love your neighbor as yourself" -Mark 12:31

If I can't love and embrace my own body and self, how can I fully and truly love others? I want and should love and treat others the way I want to be treated but if I can't do the same for my myself than how can I walk that out? 

Just my thoughts this morning! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!
