changes

sometimes in life you need to change how you done things - to better yourself
trying not to be concerned what others think-making sure you line up with what God has for you-
some may not understand and its ok- some may tease, some may encourage you - some will just join you for the ride and encourage you as you go.

praying for amazing changes to come in my life- growing in all God has for me this year!

what has been going on

well as the previous post states my word this year is ME- a focus on me - so I have been riding my bike atleast 3 times a week 2 miles for now- eating better- pretty much stopped drinking pop- looking at more what I enjoy and taking the time to do it- right now we are still working on getting the house back to normal - back in July we had a flood- kitchen is still not done but we are closer then ever-
finding out that this whole flood thing has taken a toll on me- its stressful when your house is turned upside down especially when it is the entire downstairs-

I often say I can not cook or such- its not I cant I don't like too- and with my kitchen being a disaster area for so long I have come to a better appreciation for it and want to learn more about cooking- I know for some of you get off the floor-

I want to have people over ( my house is small but ...) and cook for them or just chill out- I am someone who does not do that at all- but its time- baby steps- nothing major

so here are some pictures of what its been like (this is when it happened) and some after pictures as well - not totally done

Among all the chaos in the house Marcus still remains on the honor roll- and has been hanging with a friend who lives around the corner- plus doing the normal middle school junk

ME

I know what a title- but its my word for the year 2014- is that selfish nope its not- cause I tend to not take care of me but everything and everyone else and put me last- so this year- more time for me- to read- to dive into a study of the word- to take more baths ( i know more info then needed)- time for adult time adult conversation- time to go workout - i mean it all is perspective and too many years i have focused on meeting others needs and not mine own- the word no may come out of my mouth more often if it does not meet my needs or my familiy's needs. time for me- that does not mean I will neglect things just rearrange things- so my word is ME
