Just got done working out and feeling absolutely incredible!

Did the bike for 30 minutes (staying in between my 70-80% target heart rate zone) and weights for 45 minutes!

It is such a gorgeous day! Headed to the gym to do the bike and weights, then onto a walk by the river!

"He must increase. I must decrease."

dressed-in-flesh asked: I just had to tell you that you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! and the fact that you're giving so much glory to God makes you even more inspirational and fabulous! As I'm on my journey to lose weight I am also striving to grow stronger in God. You are amazing. Keep it up!

Thank you for your kind words!!! 

In all honesty and truthfulness, it is only BY God that I have done any of this. I almost feel like I just wake up every morning and surrender and He takes it from there! How amazing that He desires to work in our lives! How amazing that He is so faithful, even when we are so faithless!  Such amazing GRACE!

Crazy/Awesome Thought of the Day

My middle name is Quinn. It’s of Irish/Gaelic origin and it means “counsel.” Skip ahead almost 23 years after I was given that name, and I’m going to become a counselor! This made me smile so big. How incredible that my name has carried a meaning which is now a truth in my life!  I have such a passion and a hunger to see hope and restoration come to life in the lives of others. The name I have carried for my entire life has echoed that.

Today is a ridiculously gorgeous day. Amazing weather always makes me excited, knowing that heaven is exponentially more beautiful and perfect and lovely and full of God’s glory.  Can you imagine?!?!
Soak in every beautiful moment, friends!
Also, check out Krochet Kids International!  I’m sporting my Krochet Kids “LOVE” tee, and thinking about all of the beautiful women in Uganda whose lives are being changed by Krochet Kids’ cause.

Encouragement for you.

You don’t have to do it alone. There is a Helper. There is hope. Let your heart trust in Him.

Psalm 28:7 ——>

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”
