Changes in my life.

So what are these changes anyways? 

So what have I been up to lately? I am sure all of my followers are dying to know! (this is sarcasm since I have none). I thought you would never ask.

Many things in my life are beginning to change, physically and spiritually. First off I started the workout program Insanity and let me tell you the name does it justice. I have only done one day of it and that was just the fitness test which is only around 25 minutes. Every other day is forty minutes of non stop insanity! This is the change I am making in my life physically.

I used to be very active in high school. I played three sports and was constantly on the move. I never had time to question if I was in shape. When college started though that was totally different. I was always studying and hanging out with my boyfriend so working out was just never in the picture. In high school it is easy because when you sign up to do a sport you don't have a choice to work out or not, you have to. You have conditioning, practice, open gyms, etc so you are constantly moving and working out.

I am now going to be a sophomore in college this fall and let me tell you, I am not nearly in the shape I was in. I wasn't in amazing shape in high school with amazing abs and a hot body, but I was in shape. So college was something completely different and I did not like it. I liked being fit and being able to run any time we had to do suicides (don't get me wrong I hated suicides but I like that I could handle them). Now if someone asked me to do a suicide I wouldn't be able to do it hardly.

So this is where the change come into play. I am starting Insanity and going hard core every day for two months. I am also going to try to follow their nutrition guide (not diet guide) book as well. This is such a necessity because getting healthy is so important to me and being in good shape and eating right makes you feel so much better about yourself. So I will keep you posted on how that works out. (I could hardly walk this morning...tonight's workout and zumba afterwards should be interesting!)

The major and most important change I am doing right now is making God a priority in my life. I have been a "christian" for about fourteen years but have never truly surrendered my entire life over to God. I started attending church more and it hit me the other day that I can call myself a christian all I want but am I truly living for God? Because if I truly loved God and wanted to life a life like He wants me to... I would me surrounding myself with everything He wanted for my life and not what I wanted. I would not be trying to fit Him into my life but build my entire life around Him.

Going to church is a huge thing for me. For me to be able to walk with God and have a good relationship with Him, I NEED church. I emphasized the need for a reason. I need to be surrounded by people that believe in God and want Him to be the ultimate priority in their life. I need to be convicted constantly that I am in no way perfect, and never will be. I need someone to tell me how being prideful and be selfish is wrong. I need the reminder to be committed to God and be completely selfless and live a life surrendered to Him because living that way will be so amazing that it won't even compare to the life you want to live.

So here I am sitting in church this past Sunday on July 29th and I can feel God telling me I need to recommit my life to Him and do it right this time. I need to become a member of this church and just pour my heart and soul into the people of this world for the cause of Christ. I want to make a change in this world. I want to stand in front of God on judgement day and have Him say "Well done thou good and faithful servant"! So this is going to be a huge change in my life.

Let me be the first one to say I know I am not going to change overnight, I am not going to be perfect, but through God's grace and mercy I am going to live a life pleasing to my Savior.

So I finish this with asking you to pray for me. Anyone who happened to come across my blog and has read this far down, just pray that God would just reign in my life and that I would die to myself daily. This is no easy task....to give everything of this world, and all of your worldly desires up, but I know that when I do this that my life will me more beautiful and more fulfilled than anything I could ever imagine.  <3
