Prayer Does the Body Good


I hosted a BAR Prayer Party for Matt last night at my house inviting our friends and family to cover Matt in prayer. I was so blessed by the sweet attendees and the words spoken over Matt.

We are surrounded with so much support. I've always been aware of it, but for those same supporters and family members to open their arms so willingly to Matt is overwhelming to me. It just reinstates in my mind that I have picked the right one! And vice-versa. Some of Matt's friends that date back to elementary school live here as well and have been completely welcoming of me.

I remember making a comment to Matt when he first moved here that "his people" would never really feel like "my people".

But they do.

My awesome group of supporters and encouragers have increased so much since Matt has moved here. That has to be one of the biggest blessings in life. To be surrounded by people that uplift you, support you, pray for you, and have fun with you.

So, thank you to all of the people praying for Matt over the next three days. He's excited, anxious and determined. He has studied so, so much and we have claimed over and over God's favor, peace and retention over Matt this week.

AMEN!

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Official Proposal Story!!!

So, finally, I will be telling you the wonderful story of how a regular date night turned into the most wonderful night of my life... Buckle in! It's a tear-jerker! Matt had told me earlier in the week that we were going to have Date Night Thursday night. He said he had been grumpy from his cutback on dipping and wanted to make it up to me. (I didn't think he'd been that grumpy, but I love date night, so I didn't argue.) I looked forward to it all week, and then Thursday came around and he sent me a text asking me to wear his favorite B/W sleeved dress. (Oddity #1) He's never asked me to where something before, and I might have complained a bit since it had sleeves and it was a scorching 102 that day! But, I conceded. Then, he said he'd pick me up at 5:45 (Oddity #2). I figured that was a bit early, but I was just happy that Matt was planning our date night out so nicely. So, I had been wanting to get off work a bit early that day, but it just wasn't so. The
