Life by DESIGN

As a child I remember thinking my parents knew everything. Therfore, I felt as an adult I should know everything too. I should have everything in line and know exactly where I was supposed to go with my life, right? Maybe you felt the way too? Only to find out you knew nothing and had no clue where you wanted to go or what you wanted to be?...

What I didn't know is as adults we are all in a constant state of learning and redifining ourselves.

Who we feel we are changes over the years.

What we want out of life changes too.

And we eventually have the "Ah Ha" moment of allowing life to take it's course. Or we finally realize we can be redefined and be anything we want to be.

If you asked me in my 20's what I wanted to be as an adult, I would've said a helicopter pilot. Although I did set out going for that, my plans quickly changed because of an inner ear issue.

Back then I would have also said I belived the Almighty was in control over my life, I'm not quite sure I really believed that He was. I had to over come some HUGE and some BITTER obstacles. So my focus was pretty negative on what course my life would take.

Looking back now I can safely say The Almighty had other plans for me. He carefully orquestrated a series of events that I would never known could fit together. He is definitely the MASTER PUZZLER!

He allowed me to fall on my face due to some rather horrible decisions (believe me warnings were given and my choices were lacking). Thankfully His plan prevailed and eventually this once hopeful helicopter pilot became a supporter, motivator, and healthy minded Coach!

I may eventually learn to fly helicopters (it's still a goal of mine), however He knew I would be much better suited serving others.

He knew my slip ups and face plants through life would impact others positively and show His LOVE and Mercy regardless of are stupid mistakes.

He knew that I would excel in the health and wellness field, so He used my ambition for being a pilot to lead me to my husband (who had his own life events to be sent to meet me too).

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we are always learning and becoming what we are intended to be. We may not always know intitally what that is, but the journey is full of value along the way. So embrace life and live it well!

MEAL PLAN

Planning meals out ahead of time should not make you want to cross your eyes and faint at the thought! It's actually pretty simple when you think about it. It just takes a few minutes. Over time you will get better and better at it too! So the time you spend in the future on this project will be less and less.

Guilt FREE Desert

Okay, so I'll admit that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. What I like about the 21 Day Fix program is that I can still live like a normal person and have a little desert with out having to stress. So the other night I came up with this yummy recipe: ~1-2 nectarines (depends on the size of the fruit and if your feeding family too) = 1 PURPLE container ~2-3 Shakes of Cinnamon ~Handful of almonds or pecans = 1 BLUE container ~1 YELLOW container full of Organic Oat and Honey Cereal (I actually didn't need to use the entire container) 1.Slice apricots and place on foil. 2. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and wrap up the foil gently. 3. Place in 350° oven for 15-20 min. 4. Roast nuts in a pan for a few min on low-med low heat. 5. Place baked apricots on a plate and top with a little cereal and nuts. You can drizzle a little juice let from the foil over the whole thing to kick up some sweetness, but it s not necessary.

Love this! It really is true. It's not always easy to shift our perspective when we're in the thick of it! Life can be HARD and it's easy to get caught up in fear, anger and staring at all the problems we face. But, by changing the way we think-- for the better  😄 ! It's worth the challenge we face in the process to make that shift happen. Prayer always helps and Jesus is always listening! Whether you think He is or not, I assure you He's listening and answers are coming.  ❤  "And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us." 1 John 5:14 Listening to those who've been through a tough spot and come out the other side gives hope. Listening to audible or reading books on positive motivation is encouraging. Surrounding yourself with other encouraging, happy and excited people helps too! The main thing I'm learning from going through personal struggles is to keep pursuing having...
