I’m kinda overdue in journaling the recent ways God has been speaking to me through circumstance & people.

Experience #1 - I’ve been confused for several weeks now on if I should compete in the largest bodybuilding contest in the northwest “The Emerald Cup.” One day when I finally made my decision to compete….the creator of the show Elaine Craig walked into my work’s store and talked to me about competing, self image, relationships and God. It was a great confirmation of what I had thought in my heart God wanted me to do.

Experience #2 - My new teammate/coach is an amazing trainer but extremely difficult “drill sargeant.”  He pushed me soo hard to the point I wanted to give up because he broke my fighting spirit to compete. Finally after a few sessions I was ready to tell him I was done. That day I spoke to a previous client of his randomly and she told me to not quit on him, express my concerns ect. and that he would go easier on me….then later that evening he also came into the store!! No coincidence there…and we ended up speaking a little more than usual.

Experience #3 - Right now I’m going through a rough patch with my “significant other.” 8yrs together now, engaged for 2…..now the problems of “should I stay?” are here.  So many issues..commitment, trust, patience, sacrifice ect.  He works at a night club on the wkends as a bouncer and it’s been a huge source of many of our problems. I usually wait for him to come home not knowing what time. Yesterday it occured to me that one of the main missing things in our relationship is God. So I said a really short prayer, with tears in my eyes and the will to change some of the mistakes I had been making in our relationship.  It was 3am he was still not home…so I resolved to wait til’ 3:15am til’ I finally call him. At exactly 3:14am as I picked up my cellphone to make the call, his car pulled up in the driveway!!! no coincidence there. All God.

Experience #4 - Today…to summarize everything that happened with experience #3…a random customer came in today and talked about how his marriage fell apart. The one thing he attributes it to was that “God needs to be the center of all relationships for them to work.” NO COINCIDENCE….only another confirmation of what God has been speaking in my heart.

I’ve been running around, accomplishing things, hanging out, having fun too much so that I forgot the most important component in this life which is God. I thank God for the reminder and now I hope that I can grow in my relationship with Him again….and refocus my time and efforts into the things I know bring Him glory.

God for giving me the strength to change my life, something to strive for that helps others and inspires good living.

Adversity will come, so please remind me of your presence and watchfulness not only now but most of all then.

6 MORE WKS!

Til all of this will be in my BELLY! ugh….diet is killin’ me, no more protein shakes now, or starches so literally I’m like eating greens and chicken/turkey/tilapia almost every meal now.

The Washington State Ironman is one of the hardest bodybuilding contests here in the NW.  I know now of at least 6 other girls in my exact category, so it will be difficult.

It’s hard though to know what the judges look for, because some want you to be cut others think bikini should be more soft-model-esq looking. 

As for me, I will be satisfied no matter what my placing as long as I know I did more than my best! look better than my last competition and get tons of pictures!

Just to stand on stage with all the other women will be amazing!

Ok time for my chicken an broccoli catch you later ;)
