May 11th has come and gone but there were some things I wanted to wait to say so my blog is a little behind this month.
I feel like I have so much to say. I hope I don't forget it all.
Josh: Josh was gone for 11 days in May for his Manila Philippines Missions trip. We kept pretty busy so even though we missed him, we had our minds occupied so we didn't just feel alone everyday. We spent several nights with some of our amazing friends and so many checked in on us as well. We never felt alone. I am so thankful for our friends. I am really hoping Josh will write a blog about his trip. The stories the team shared were just so amazing to hear. God is so good and to see how he orchestrated the trip was just so good to hear. Thanks again to everyone who helped him get there. He has even been in contact with some of the people he met there. One of the great things about Facebook. We just absolutely love love love our Church and Church family.
Me: Josh just got us a new to us car. It's a 2014 Ford Flex. I am so thankful it worked out to get this. My car needed so many repairs and I feel so much more safe in my new one. It has quite a few bells & whistles too that make it extra special.
I am still cleaning 2 homes a day T-Th and 1 every Monday. Once summer starts it'll be a little less. I'm looking forward to that...I'm also looking forward to having my girlies help as much as their willing. I still often think about doing something different but I just don't know what that would be right now. >>Praying<<
Would love some Norwex parties/ demos / show you how it works !!!
I know I keep talking about friends but God sure has placed so many special ones in our lives ... right at the perfect time.
Some people know I've been learning about Undiet stuff , No Diets, Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, wellness without the obsession, etc. I think I have finally found the piece I was missing to my puzzle. I have never felt so FREE in my entire life. I can have wellness without being obsessed and I can feel good about myself. I can eat what makes me feel my best without tracking my food or feeling guilty about what I eat. I can enjoy being active and doing things I like to do without over exercising and without feeling guilty for missing a day.
I can put on a 2 piece bathing suit and not care if society thinks my body isn't meant for one. I don't have to wear spanx under my clothes to hide all my skin that society thinks I should make look smaller. I never have to step on a scale.
I can not believe how much diet culture crap had a hold of me. It really makes me sad how much time I wasted on things that didn't matter. My worth has absolutely nothing to do with outside appearance.
My only fear now that I need to work on is... Dr visits. I keep praying I never have to go. I can tell them I don't want to step on the scale but I even had a horrible nightmare last night and I was at the Drs. Gah, even typing that I'm in tears. I just hate that no matter what happened at the drs...it was always that my weight was a problem. Or when my weight was considered normal on a stupid scale that means nothing- my mental health was failing.
Anyway - more about all this later.
Last but not least... are we moving?
Kind of...
Girlies - YES !!! Abby, Jasmine, and Josie will all be Ravenna Bulldogs in the Fall.
Abby = 8th
Jasmine = 7th
Josie = 1st
This was a big decision for us and we're all so excited. If you'd like more information on why...message me and I'd be happy to share.
This may also mean my cleaning schedule will change- I am also only going to be cleaning homes much closer to home!
This weekend we will be up north at my Grandparents cottage for Memorial Weekend. Praying all goes well. This will be the 1st without Grandpa.
Thanks for reading friends! Comment if you made it to the end.
Much Love!
Thought this would be much longer but maybe it'll all come to me later.
