chris.

is this the first photo you ever saw of me?
was this my default when you 'found' me?


this is my new goal, at least this.
im sick of being lazy. im tired of being sad.
look how little my waist was, and even then,
i was still unhappy. ive got files of old photos,
old "status pics" - and they all make me sad.

I do believe it is. Seems like quite a while ago. It's been two or three years, hasn't it?

"and even then, I was still unhappy."

Working out helps with laziness and with being sad to some degree, but ultimately, it's a mindset, a perspective than makes one sad or happy. I've noticed that in myself recently.

I know that how you look and your relationship with Pastor Jason are both important to you, and I'm not saying they shouldn't be. But, at some point, you've got to "forget what lies behind" and press on to what lies ahead. That doesn't mean you have to forget about fitness or forget all those memories with your pastor, but take the good from that time, and let the fact that the good happened build you up.

Like I've said before, you are a beautiful, talented young girl with a bright future. Sure there's things you could be sad about if you dwell on them, but you've got a lot of reasons to be happy as well.


I'm praying peace for you, and that reminded me of this verse.


"...and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart[s] and mind[s] in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:4-7)
