keep heart

~The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. ~

John 10:10

 

 I can't imagine life with out Jesus. His promises are so rich and give me hope. Lately life has been a series of storms. Each one adding to the other to create this tornado effect. I can't say I am fully out of the storm but I do know the one who calms the storm. And that's what is most important.

There are so many things I yearn for in life. I never thought I would still be single at 31. My heartfelt desire is to be a wife and mom. To create a home, to be pregnant and have babies and to raise a family. And here I am without any of that. I barely have a home :(

The purpose of this is not a pity party, but just to stand on the promise of God that He desires to give me an abundant life. That each day has purpose whether it feels like it or not. There is a Natalie Grant song that totally describes how I feel right now. It's called "Awaken." I couldn't state it better myself.

 

The lyrics are:

Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing
I'm not really living
I'm only watching the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in you
I'm not who I'm meant to be
I'm drifting farther away from my destiny
[Chorus:]
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, lord

Awaken me
My soul is longing, my heart is searching
I'm desperate for you to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I'm crying out to you
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, lord
Open my eyes so I can see your presence
Dwelling inside
Wake me up, 'cause I can't live another minute
if I'm not shining your light
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken the passion in me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

 

We get caught in the storms of life sometimes and we lose who we are. Maybe life gets too overwhelming. I know it does for me and I usually just want to check out. 

This is my cry that I would hold on. There are sunny days ahead. Keep HEART. Don't lose yourself. And if you have lost yourself, find yourself or re-create yourself.

Live SOULFULLY and with purpose. Find good friends and hold on to them tight. I am so grateful for those I am surrounded by. I love my friends!

chiropractic care: it's changed my life!

hooray for spring finally arriving!

~ 

this blog post is devoted to something very near and dear to me. i was introduced to chiropractic adjustments only a few years ago. ever since then it seems that i can't get away from it! i am very drawn to the fact that the body has every ability to heal itself. i am so grateful that my line of work involves something that i am very passionate about. i will go as far to say that chiro care has truly saved or at least greatly improved my quality of life. let me tell you why....

 most people think chiropractic is strictly for back/neck pain from lifting incorrectly or sleeping wrong, etc. well i was one of those people who thought that too. through routine adjustments i have learned that when my spine is properly aligned, i can think clearer, my energy is restored, my anxiety is reduced, i feel more balanced, i have better moods (and you can see why!), and finally my body releases tension that would normally lead to headaches and other body pain. so yes, that back/neck pain can be also a result of toxins and toxic emotions being stored in the body. trapped emotions can lead to muscle tension and chronic pain. believe me, i thought pain was 'normal' for so many years! well in my case, i had a lot of trapped emotions that my body had not released. i have found so much relief and comfort through routine adjustments and also the knowledge to be able to re-align myself through correct posture and stretching properly as well as combatting stress through breathing techniques.

this picture is definitely 'me' dancing!!

 i truly believe chiropractic can help SO many people. if you or anyone you know sounds like me, please seek out a good Chiropractor in your area. it's worth every minute!

YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
