As I was on my way to church this morning, a thought crossed my mind.
"Going to church on a regular basis is my 'normal'".
So, how did it become my normal? Obviously the answer to that question is that it became my normal because I was raised in the church.
I could not imagine NOT attending Sunday morning services on a regular basis. Once that thought crossed my mind, I got to thinking. Do I just attend church on a regular basis, because I'm afraid of the disappointment I'd face from my mom and dad, or do I attend church on a regular basis because it is my normal?
Honestly, I don't know the answer to that question right now and it saddens me. I want to be secure in myself, knowing that I attend church for God and because it is the right thing to do because I want to go to heaven.
Oh, the thinking I need to do.
Why do you attend church?

it's just a little bump in the road.
So, if you have been reading my blog you know that I have been working my bootay off exercising 6 days a week.
Well, because I have been working my bootay off, I now have staph. I can't believe I even put that on the internet. Staph just makes me feel gross and makes me feel like I have lepersey. Before you start worrying, if you were, it's external staph, not internal. So, I'm not going to die. At least, I hope not. It was just caused from sweating excessively in one spot. It's on my side which is weird, because I didn't know I sweat excessively there while working out, but apparently I do. So, here's my question. How in the world did I get something that is bad for my body by doing something that is good for my body? There is just no in between. While it is frustrating and I probably shouldn't be working out, I am still going too. I have so much weight to lose in such a short amount of time and I'm not letting this stop me! I bought staph-a-septic (cost me $16!) and bandaids, so I should heal shortly!
Sorry if the post was disgusting to you! haha.

Working It Out.
Amazing doesn't even begin to explain how I feel right now. I just got done with what could have possibly been the best workout of my life. Let me just recap my little gym experience for you. I did the following:
-Bike
-Elliptical
-Treadmill
-Abs
-Legs
-Ran half a mile
2 hours of pure bliss!
I feel fantastic! I will have a nice body by summer, I will! :)

Doing what God wants..
Okay, so this is going to be somewhat of a serious blog. So, get ready for deep thought (maybe) and feel free to leave comments.
Okay, so most of the time we know what God wants because it is written in the Bible. And other times, it's not so obvious. So, what do we do when we don't know what He wants from us in a certain situation? We pray, of course. Because we all know that we get answers from God through prayer. Sometimes, His answers are not what we want them to be and sometimes God doesn't answer as fast as we would want Him to, but even if that is the situation, we know that whatever His will, we will be okay with it because He is God and He has control over EVERY situation.
By now, you're probably wondering why the deep thought over prayer all of the sudden? Well, it's because I have something that I really need to pray hard for. I don't know what God wants from me in this situation, but I do know that through prayer, He will make it known to me. God isn't going to leave me in the dark. While it may take Him a while to answer or His answer may not be what I want it to be, it's going to be okay no matter matter what because... HE IS GOD! HE HAS CONTROL! HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!
So, with all that being said. I ask that if you pray, if you would please pray for me. Please ask God to let me know what to do in this particular situation. It will be greatly appreciated. Whoever said you couldn't pray for someone Else's problems? :)
What do you pray for?
(Obviously, you don't have to tell me that unless you want to. It's mainly there to give you deep thought.)

Shedding the l-b's.
Why hello there followers! :)
So, recently I began on a new journey to lose a pretty big amount of weight. I started last week and so far it's going pretty good. I've lost 9 lbs. You may be wondering how I am doing this... Well, it's not from diet pills or starvation. I am on a healthy diet and working out like crazy, 6 days a week.
Here's what I can eat on this diet:
Chicken, fish, chicken, fish.
Vegetables, fruit, vegetables, fruit.
NO BREAD.
NO PASTA.
I can only drink water or diet green tea.
You would think it would be so hard, but it's soo easy. I'm eating such good food.
So, I will be keeping you updated on my progress.
Ciao!
In Him,
Cherish

Oh, what a day!
Oh, what a day. Let me just begin by telling you of it.
7:30 AM - An very loud alarm starts sounding off. The reason why you ask? Because the water pipes in my apartment burst due to the weather. Yeah, you read that right. Water going everywhere in my roommate's room and in the living room. However, we did have a pretty cool waterfall on our balcony. All of us girls had to evacuate our apartment, but I had to grab my things for the day because I had class at 9 and I had to go somewhere to get ready. But wait, what do I see when I walk out my bedroom door? A HOT FIREMAN standing in my living room. And what do I look like? CRAP! I literally had on no bra, pajama pants, rain boots and I had mascara running down my face from make-up from Wednesday.
8:00 AM - I realize I have class at 9. I call my best friend, Jacqui, and ask her if I can come get ready at her place because we have class together at 9. Of course, like the nice little lady she is, she lets me. I show up to her dorm to get ready, but what did I forget? I forgot a t-shirt, a hoodie, 1 shoe (I managed to grab one), and socks. Therefore, I went to class in a ratty old CAMP LU-JO t-shirt that I sleep in and the hoodie I had worn the previous day. BUT, Jacqui let me borrow a pair of her TOMS (luckily, we have the same shoe size), and some socks.
9:00 AM - 11:15 AM - CLASS
11:15 AM - I arrive back to my apartment just getting out of class and I realize that I only have 15 minutes until I have to be at work. I'm not going to call in just because the pipes burst, so I quickly do something with my hair and throw on a little make-up.
3:15 PM - I have class in 15 minutes, but I just got to my apartment from work and I still need to change for class. I rush.
3:30 PM - 7:15 PM - CLASS
8:00 PM - I went to STUMO with Jacqui and Jake (her boyfriend) to try it out. If you don't know what STUMO is; it is basically a place for all Christians to get together to sing to God and hear a lesson. It's non-denominational, so there are people from all faith's there.
9:15 PM - We get back from STUMO and proceed to start getting ready to work out.
9:45 PM - While getting ready to go to the gym, I hit myself in the eye with a headband (the stretchy kind). It hurt so bad.
10:00 PM - My eye finally looks decent enough to go work-out to where it doesn't look like I have pink eye so we manage to go work out.
10:00 PM - 11:00 PM - LONG WORKOUT - I burned 500 calories!
11:53 PM - I now sit here at the computer telling you of my long long day and waiting on my laundry to get done, but as I look back through the day I realize I have been in such a great mood all day long and all I have been able to think about is how great God is! Yes, today has been trying and very tiring, but even after the water spill, I still think things could of been worse, but God has given me another day to celebrate and love Him. I am so blessed by such an amazing and loving God.
How was your day?
