Check out my latest blog post about exercising with a disability! I talk a bit about my history with fitness, how I met my personal trainer, and how exercise helps with different aspects of my condition. Stay active, friends! Your body and mind will thank you!

The United Methodist Women Spiritual Growth Retreat in Lake Junaluska this year was awesome! It was similar to a revival with four worship services over the course of two days. Deaconess Clara Ester was an interesting speaker with wild and stirring stories, such as knowing Dr. MLK Jr and witnessing his murder. . The theme for the retreat was "Roses & Thorns," so we focused on how God uses thorns to produce beauty. I can testify that God can work all things to the good, since I use my circumstances as a young lady with a disability to inspire others and show them that joy is possible despite struggles. 🌹💕 . #unitedmethodistchurch #unitedmethodistwomen #johnwesley #romans828

Like many of us, I tend to overthink and worry over situations. June is going to be a busy month for me, and my headspace is clouded today. Over the last week, I have realized that casting one's anxieties on God is easier said than done. . Has anyone else seen the meme about being "pre-annoyed," as in thinking about a situation in the future and being annoyed about it before it even happens? I'm guilty, and it's a shame, because I'm not fully living into a life with Christ, which promises peace that surpasses understanding. (Phi 4:6-7) . This week, I will try to banish the negative thoughts that fly around my busy brain and cast my worries on Him. ✌️💕 #christian #christianblogger #inspirationalquotes #christianquotes

In this post, I write about verse 2 from Psalm 40, in which David proclaims that God had pulled him out of the miry pit and set him on a solid rock. . I think of a metaphorical pit as an "un-joyful" thought pattern or pity party, such as "I work constantly while Kayla posts vacay pics on IG. I deserve more! My life sucks!" . I and some of my awesome readers are discussing our old, familiar pits over on Retrospective Lily. Come join us in our vulnerability. 💯😉 #christian #christianblogger #wordpressblogger
