When Your Dream Becomes Reality...

My life as it is now is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I have prayed fervently for this moment hoping it would come and wondering when that would be and exactly what that would look like. Now that its here I really haven’t embraced the change. You see for a few years now I have wanted nothing more than to be able to stay home and sell vintage, craft, take care of the house and have a nice dinner ready for my sweet husband when he gets home. Now that I have all of that at my fingertips I find myself struggling physically and emotionally. Completely changing the same routine after six years is not as easy as I thought it would be. I remember walking down the halls at my old office wondering if I would ever NOT be doing what I was doing. Thinking there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I find myself battling a depression of sorts… wanting someone to visit with, to talk to and trying to get used to the solitude.

Have any of you struggled with this kind of change in your life? How did you cope? It’s hard not to give myself a long list of things to do everyday then beat myself up for not completing them all. It’s definitely time to end the pity party and rejoice in the fact that God saw this time as perfect for me to begin a new journey.

A New Leaf...

A couple of weeks ago my pastor said in his sermon that we can change anything in six weeks or forty days he then pointed to different scripture to reference changes in that amount of time in the Bible. I had been thinking about certain changes I had been wanting to make in my life and those words were just the motivation I needed!

So, what changes are those you ask? Well, my fitness routine or lack thereof to be more exact. Before my wedding two years ago I would go to the gym four days a week every week for over a year. The thing motivating me at the time was obviously the way I looked in my wedding dress. Now, the only motivation I have which btdub should be enough is the fact that I want to get preggers and be in the best shape possible pre baby.

Back to the main point... anything can change in six weeks, ANYTHING! So that being said today is day three that I have been up before work running the Couch to 5K podcast. Needless to say I am pretty excited that I have made it three days with no excuses!

Lucky for me I live a couple of blocks from the bayfront and get to run with beautiful views like above...What do you want to change in six weeks?
