Today was very eventful. I am not jealous of the lives of my clients. I am reminded daily how every similar we all are -- broken, hurting, searching --- in need of love and change. I'm learning so much, especially how much I still need to learn. Today's lesson: how to spot signs of drug use. It's one I have almost zero exposure to and yet have 3 clients (that i know of) who use. So we get to learn together! Humility is a strong suit in what I do daily. I love praying and caring for these women and men. I did have one client who stated she went to church a couple weeks ago and "joined the church/became a Christian". That's AMAZING news.

I am able to be home tonight which is wonderful. I have the house to myself for a week while my parents and Alex explore San Antonio, TX for spring break. My mom just stated that they're going to a Snake Farm thursday and that Alex has bought me a coybow hat. My dad was teaching him how to "slap leather" aka line dance in the hotel room. haha I do wish I could be there. I've been spending my time to catch up on some things: budgeting, blogging, health test, clean, etc. It's helpful.

The biggest thing right now is i'm really feeling the push to lose some weight and git fit! I'm in my friend Bre's wedding in October -- first friend wedding to be in! and then I took this health assessment today and it states for my health I need to loose 20-50 lbs. Ideally, according to this, I should loose 50-80lbs. I think i'll start with the first :) I really want to do this.........dear jesus i know i'll need your help

I've been doing a lot of heart searching these past few days. It's good. I miss Christian community. It's amazing the changes that can happen in your life by being more self aware and being proactive for the sake of yourself! What kind of life is it if a situation came our way and ever time we just shrugged our shoulders with an "eh" response??? I know I am so guilty of this apathetic/warn down response. I watch my clients/friends/family make fail to be Pro-active for the sake of themselves and end up lower than they started. It's sad. However, I fail to be proactive myself.

Who told us we weren't worth the fight? Who ever told us its too tough to keep trying? Who ever told us to stop caring/loving ourselves? I know I believe these to some extent, but I want more to learn the truth. That I am worth it, it is worth loving myself and I have great strength...all through the grace of a Papa who cares so much and loves so deeply. what amazing grace.
