"I stand here in captivated worship,

 overwhelmed by your love...

what a beautiful scene. 

Jesus, the name above all others, 

the center of my worship..

You're the God of all things"

-Kari Jobe

{the journey}

This post has been a long time in the making. Hard to write. Hard to put my feelings into words. Hard to explain it to people that haven't been here. Bear with me, loves, this post is a heavy one, but a happy one.


I can remember starting this whole weight loss journey back in May and dreaming of the day that I could share success pictures. Honestly, I was just wishing, hoping, and crossing my fingers that I'd make it that far. 


This is hard for me to put out in the open on my blog. My weight has always been the one topic I avoided at all costs. I'm still not comfortable discussing it openly. 


It still makes me a tad uncomfortable when someone comments on how I look, just because of the girl I used to be. The girl I've gotten so used to being.

Whewww, y'all. It's been a heck of a journey. I've always been the "big" girl. Always. I can't remember the last time I could walk into any given store and actually fit into clothing without having to grease myself up and beg and pray that the pants would zip. And most of the time I'd leave empty handed, with a little more of a broken heart. It was hard. I've gone through life being incredibly self-conscious. It's hard going to college and being in a sorority with 300 beautiful, thin, confident girls...and you being the one that sticks out because of her weight. But that was always me; I just got used to the label.


I'm not sure what clicked inside of me. I was unhappy. I looked in the mirror and didn't see beautiful. I saw the opposite...and it affected me on a daily basis, on a deep, real, hurtful level. One day, I just decided that something had to change. I wanted to love myself. I wanted to be comfortable in my own skin. I wanted to feel beautiful. 


So I finally let go of the pity party and did something about it.


5 months. Or 153 days. 57 pounds down. I still have 13 more to go to hit my 70 lb mark, but I am way past the point of giving up. I've come too far, struggled too much, fought too hard to give this up. These last 13 lbs will probably be the hardest, but that feeling of success in the end will be oh-so-worth it. 


I can't imagine what it's going to feel like to not be on a diet. I can't imagine looking at the scale every day and seeing a healthy weight. I can't imagine being able to fit into jeans that are a size I've never worn before in my adult life. I can't imagine a guy taking a second glance at me. I can't imagine not sticking out as the "big" friend. They're such simple things, but honestly, it brings tears to my eyes because this has been the one thing I've battled with the most. And I've finally overcome it.
 I hope and pray that I can stay strong and defeat it for good. 


I am beautiful. I am confident. I am happy. I am healthy. I am blessed. 


Pictures from the journey:


the before pictures...ranging from September 2006 to May 2010

{seriously hard for me to post some of these...they've been untagged from FB since the second they were uploaded. I was a size 16-18 in most of these. And hated my arms with a passion}


Some of the during/after pictures...from September and October 2010. Hopefully there will be more success pictures soon :)

 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well." Psalms 139:14

miscellany.

Miscellany Monday has arrived, folks.

Totally makes this miserable first day of the week worthwhile. 

Geez, I'm tired. Just finished my third night in a row at work, and let me tell you--after 3 nights in a row on 2 North, I feel like I could conquer the world. I feel so accomplished after a work weekend. Totally accomplished, and totally exhausted. Brain dead. Sleep deprived.

Butttt, lucky for you--that makes the Miscellany all the more random. And who doesn't love a good ole random post? Makes the Mondays go by a little quicker, I think.

Let's see...where to begin?

{one} I am officially in love with a doctor at work. And an X-Ray tech. And a med student. I'm telling y'all...I'm like a teenager with all these crushes. A good ole crush whore...that's the worst I ever get. Bad to the bone!

{two} I have only slept approximately 11 hours in the past three nights...or days, in my case. Proof that sleep deprivation is real? I definitely poured sweet tea over my Special K Red Berries yesterday before work...I kid you not.

{three} My church is the bomb.com. Seriously. It's super hard to make myself go to church on the Sundays of the weekends I work, but I leave feeling so refreshed, renewed, loved, encouraged, etc. It is so worth it and God is SO good! Y'all need to come visit me so I can take you to church with me. 

{four} I was feeling super festive after church yesterday, so I swung by Kroger and bought a pot of mums and two cans of pumpkin puree. Then I got home and realized I have no idea what to make with pumpkin puree. Any ideas, readers?? Give me some recipes before my festive attitude wears off! 

{five} Don't tell anybody, but I had Skinny Cow ice cream for breakfast this morning when I got home from the gym. Balances out, right? Totally delish. And totally puts me in a good mood. I feel almost rebellious. 

{six} Another thing that makes me feel rebellious? Listening to Pandora at work. Makes charting go by much quicker. And I found world's best station....drum roll please: The Ben Rector station. For real. Go listen to it and be amazed. 

{seven} My weekend at work was surprisingly calm. I was just waiting for the other shoe to fall all weekend, but it never got unbearably crazy for me, which is a huge blessing. {As a nurse, you don't ever say "Wow, it's been a quiet night," or "I'm bored," or even think about mentioning a Code Blue...because that's when all hell breaks loose...we're real superstitious.} I don't know if my patients were just calmer or if I'm finally getting used to the job, but I am so thankful for 3 nights in a row where I felt on top of things. 

{eight} I miss my mama. I miss my daddy. I miss my sister. I miss my brother. 

{nine} Favorite lyrics at the moment? Lyrics that lift me up and make me feel His Peace when I'm overwhelmed? He is still God, even when I am completely helpless. 

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

-Desert Song

Happy Monday to you, my beloved readers! I hope your weekends were restful and full of fun...can't wait to hear all about them :)

{Fill in the Blank Friday}

Wow, I found one blog hop that I have yet to participate in...I'm shocked.

Guess there's a first time for everything :)

"Short and sweet" Fill in the Blank Friday!

{one} I am... currently watching the Biggest Loser from Wednesday night and crying like a baby. Happens every episode. These people seriously touch my heart, because I've been there and I know the struggle they're going through. Weekly inspiration!

{two} I wish... I didn't have to work all weekend. I love being a nurse, but working 3 nights in a row on the weekend, no less, really sucks. Praying it flies by and goes off without a hitch. Here's to 3 easy nights at work! Prayers are welcomed.

{three} I like... looking in the mirror and feeling confident with what I see. Looking in the mirror and not automatically thinking something negative. Looking in the mirror and honestly feeling beautiful.

{four} I can... hardly wait until next weekend. Ole Miss vs. Auburn weekend! Susie Haskins Bash to celebrate Susan's beautiful life with all of my fabulous sorority sisters. AND Halloween. It has the makings of the most perfect weekend ever :)

{five} I hope... December 10th gets here quickly, because I am beyond excited and ready for my NYC getaway trip to visit Mary Gwen!

{six} I think... I have the most fabulous blog readers/friends. I know without a doubt I'd be bff with a good number of you, now it's just time for us to meet up in real life :) your comments make my heart happy!

{seven} I was... planning on spending a good hour at the gym this morning, but when I weighed, I was down 3 pounds from my last weigh in on Monday...so needless to say, Gilmore Girls and a big cup of coffee take precedence on this morning! A mini-celebration, if you will! 

Head on over to Lauren's FABULOUS blog and participate if you're feeling it!

Happy Friday to you all...live up your weekends for me since I'll be stuck at work :)

Thursday's Little Joys

It's the simple little joys in life that make it worthwhile.
Here are just a few bits of randomness that have brought a smile to my face today...

{one} Imagine my delight when I opened my mailbox to these:
Classic Anne Hathaway



and perfect Rachel McAdams

Both of my girl-crushes gracing the covers of my two favorite magazines.
Perfection. I cannot wait to drool over every.single.page!
Could they be any prettier? Nope, I didn't think so.
Counting down the seconds til I can read them both cover to cover.

{two} I am currently in Oxford. Otherwise known as God's country, Heaven, and my happy place...take your pick. I'm only here for a little over 24 hours, but it's just enough to refuel my soul and give me a little umph to get through the next work week. This place is good for my soul. I am myself here. Just being in this zip code makes life a little easier. And staying at the Inn at Ole Miss, girl time with my mom and sister, and getting to see three of my best friends doesn't hurt either :)

{three} Finding new Ben Rector songs like this one makes any day just a little bit better.


{four} I bought my first Christmas ornament of the season today. It's pretty much the cutest ornament you've ever seen, but now I have the Christmas itch...time to get to decorating. I could go broke over Christmas decor. The simple joy moral to this story? 64 days til Christmas. Ho ho ho!


What little joys are making your Thursday a little bit happier?
Happy Thursday, lovelies!

Monday's To-Do List

Today is Monday. All day long. 

And you know what that means...

Monday is usually just an all-around crappy day.

I don't ever expect anything more from it.

So, as I woke up this morning and started going over my to-do list for the week,

I began to get overwhelmed at the monotony. 

Day in and day out, it feels like the same thing.

But thankfully, I came across this little picture:

{via weheartit}

And I realized that this Monday would be different than all the others.

Because I choose to make it better than all the others.

I choose to not fall in the routine of every week. I choose to live each day to the fullest.

I choose this list as my to-do list for the week.

Because, after all, life is really what you make it, isn't it?

Happy Monday, lovelies. 

Laugh. Love. And love some more :)

Oh, while you're living up your Monday, take a second to pray for baby Brayden. He needs our prayers, our thoughts, and God's healing hand. Lift him up!

{five on friday}

{1} I was browsing my latest Us Weekly magazine this morning before bedtime, and I came to the conclusion that in a perfect world, I would look like this...

...or this...

{2} Also, in this perfect world I speak of, I would be 1/2 of a couple as cute as this one...

...and be half as talented as they are. A girl can dream, right?

{3} I am currently waiting on my best friend to pull into our driveway. I wish you could see my excitement right now...I'm practically jumping up and down in front of the window, like a little kid waiting on Christmas. This girl is my heart...we've been best friends since we were in diapers and she is the one person in my life that knows me better than I know myself. We're practically sisters...so I am so over-the-top excited to see her right now! We're going to dinner then Easely Amused to paint for the evening, so I'm sure it's going to be a night full of laughing way too loud, talking til the sun rises, and lots of yummy food. Good thing I worked out this morning.

{4} I seriously want to buy this dress. How hot would it be with some black stilettos? And this necklace?! I die. Again, in a perfect world, Anthropologie would be affordable. Keep on dreamin'.

{5} This verse was in my devotional this morning, and it was such a breath of fresh air for me. I hope it encourages you like it did me :)

"But he said to me, "My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you." So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ's power can live in me. For this reason I am happy when I have weaknesses, insults, hard times, sufferings, and all kinds of troubles for Christ. Because when I am weak, then I am truly strong." 2 Corinthians 9:9-10

How's that for a random post? 

Happy Friday, lovelies. 

Y'all are fabulous--don't forget it!

{His Grace}

You know what really amazes me?

God's grace.

What is grace to me? Spontaneous, unmerited love, a gift from the Creator of all the Universe. It has nothing to do with me or what I do for my own merit, but it has everything to do with Him and his overflowing, unconditional love for a sinner like me. 

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Today, my gift of grace was oh-so-evident. I am such a sinner. On just any normal day, you could look into my life and see the sin pouring out. Just to name a few--I gossip too much. I am too impatient. I am not as faithful to my word as I should be. I don't spend enough time in the Word as I should. I am unkind to people when things aren't going my way. I am so quick to be stubborn and harsh in situations when I want what's best for me. I am selfish. I am a human. Just like everyone reading this. 

How could I put into words what His Grace means to me? I can't. It goes beyond words. It goes into the depth of my soul that I am loved that much by the Savior. It brings tears to my eyes when I stop and really think about it. How can the perfect, Holy God look on me with love, compassion, and mercy? How can He see me in my every-day filth of sin and look past all of those imperfections to the beautiful child He created? It amazes me, y'all.

"The grace of God means something like: 'Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too.'"

--The Reverend Margaret Gunness

Today I am overwhelmed by His Grace. I am so thankful for His Grace. He loves me not because of who I am, but in spite of who I am. And I am one blessed girl, because without Him, I would be so lost...nothing but a lost sinner in a hopeless, dark, sinful world. 

Of course, a Natalie Grant song inspired this post. She is incredible, friends. Not only is her voice out of this world, her lyrics hit my heart and make me think on a much deeper level. From "Song to the King" off of her recent album, Love Revolution:

"You came to the world, for love of one like me-

And though I am the worst of sinners, GRACE is all I see.

Freedom from these chains, my brokenness redeemed, 

Love and Mercy flowing down to life eternally."

And the chorus of this song that follows that verse is my prayer in response to His Grace...

"How can I repay such a debt except with my life?

How can I give anything but sacrifice, a sacrifice of praise.

To the King eternal immortal, be all the glory, forever Amen."

Miscellany Monday

Guess what day it is!

My favorite day of the week. 

I look forward to Mondays only because of this. 
My blog has turned into nothing but miscellany, so I hope that's okay with you!


{one} My parents and little brother are in Jackson right now for some church clothes shopping. Yes, my hometown is way small and doesn't have any where to shop. Cool, huh? Buuuut, lucky me...that means they get to come spend the afternoon with me! I am way too excited right now about getting to see them. It's only been a little over a week, but I feel like it's been two months. Miss them like whoa. I'm about to publish this then head out & see them!


{two} I forced myself into going to the gym this morning after my 3rd night on. Like literally had to pep talk myself and reconvince myself to work out over and over. It's like I had an angel on one shoulder that looks like Heidi Klum, but on the other shoulder I have one holding a big sack of Taco Bell and a remote control. Such a predicament. But--I did run almost 4 miles! Woooo! It took a while, but I did it. Baby steps. Oh, and this huge, buff guy working out next to me was definitely listening to Glee on his iPod. I kid you not.


{three} So I'm watching "Sister Wives" right now...catching up on the episodes from last night. And I am so confused. And intrigued. And freaked out. Y'all, this sh*t is bananas. Have you seen this show? This guy has 3 wives. AND a girlfriend--soon to be 4th wife. Is this real life? Do relationships like this really happen? I am completely weirded out by this, but at the same time I can't keep from watching it. It's so addicting. Thoughts?


{four} Friday can't get here soon enough. My best, best, best friend is coming to stay with meeeee! Clearly, I am SO excited. We're going to a place called Easely Amused here in Jackson. It's an art class where an instructor teaches you step by step how to paint a specific painting...and look--how cute is the one we picked?! You know how much I love holiday things. Already getting ready for Christmas :)

{five} We sang a one of my favorite Hillsong songs at church yesterday and one of the lyrics really hit me like it never had before. 
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise

It's not about me. It's all about Him. The art of losing myself and bringing Him praise. It matters not what I do, I am only here to glorify him and honor him in all I do. I must decrease, He must increase. I know, I know, it's clearly not a huge revelation but it really hit my heart. I am such a selfish person, but when I'm filled with myself, there's no room for Him in my life. My hope and my prayer is that I can empty myself of "me" so I can be filled with Him.

{six} Anyone love Dave Barnes as much as I do? If you questioning who that even is, go to your iTunes right now and download "Nothing Fancy" and "Close Your Eyes" and fall in love with him along with me :) Welllll, just saw on Twitter that he has a Christmas album coming out in November. Perfection. Now Hanson just needs to come out with a new Christmas CD. My copy of Snowed In has officially bit the dust. 

Alright my dears, I'm signing off. Working on only 3 hours of sleep for my "night" but seeing my family will be oh-so-worth it. Love you bunches for reading my miscellany. 

Oh, and not only is it Miscellany Monday, it's also Mingle Monday over at Meg's amazing, fabulous, wonderful blog, Life of Meg. Sweet Meg featured me last week, and I think you all need to go check out her blog and become a part of it. Go on, you know you want to. 



Y'all are the bomb.com. 

{fabulous Friday fragments}

TGIF...minus the fact that I get to work all weekend. 

But hey, Friday is really an attitude, isn't it?

So I choose to say TGIF and make the best of this weekend.

So Friday...might as well be Miscellany Monday, because I'm all over the place today.

What's on the agenda, you ask? Well first, it's Show Us Your Life, from Kelly's Korner.

My kitchen definitely isn't my favorite room in my house, but it is a cozy, cute area. I would love for it to be about double its size, but then again, I don't cook often (since it's just me) so I would essentially just be wasting space. 

Here goes...and I'm adding dining room pictures, since my dining room wasn't enough to dedicate a whole post to :)

This dining room table was my grandparent's...it's been in our family for years, and I'm the most recent owner. Well, it was dark wood, and Taylor (my bff/roommate) and I decided to sand it down and distress it with the help of a family friend. Looooove how it turned out. And really love the giraffe print, too :)

So, guess what I did this morning. I joined a gym. Shocker, I know. I've never been a member of a gym in my entire life. Buuuut, there's a first time for everything. I am so determined to get rid of these last 25 pounds that I'm totally okay with looking like an idiot up there. I stick out like a sore thumb, but hey, we all have to start somewhere, right? I went to the gym with Megan last night, and totally dominated the Elliptical, when a year ago, I could barely do it for 5 minutes. Baby steps, people. Keep me encouraged!

Next up are a few fall treats I've been working on... I've needed a creative outlet lately, so I picked up a paintbrush and got down to it. I haven't painted since Big Sis/Lil Sis days of college, so I've missed it!

Trick or Treat!

and yummy pumpkin spice cookie bars with cream cheese icing...

 Need a little bit of happiness today? A little encouragement? A little peek at love to keep you going through this day? Go watch this video. Found it on one of my favorite blogs, Miss Magnolia, and I have literally watched it probably 10 times. 

Gene + Jill // Two Pease in a Pod from capture studios on Vimeo.
 
Seriously, I want that. Pure, perfect love. I love love.


And lastly, before I sign off, I want to ask you to pray for a family. I know some of you have heard this story, and have been praying already, but please, take a second and pray for the family of Leslie Joy Evans. She was a young mother, pregnant with twins, and delivered them at 21 weeks. The babies didn't make it, and she has been in a coma for the past few weeks. She went to heaven yesterday, so please be praying for her husband. I can't imagine the pain he is going through right now. Lift them up to Jesus! Words can't describe the heartbreak I have for him and his family. Pray for a peace and for comfort from the only One that can truly give it to them!


I hope your weekend is filled with fun, family, friends, and relaxation! What are your plans? Can't wait to hear all about them :)

This May Be the Longest Post Ever.

Wow, I just feel so popular today! Tag, I'm it!

I got tagged by FOUR sweet bloggers over the past few weeks for the always fun "Question Game" so tonight, I shall answer them all :)

So here goes...with legit, the longest post ever written. Bear with me.

From Chetreanna over at Guileless Living Day by Day

What is your favorite music genre?

Umm, first is Christian contemporary such as Natalie Grant, Shane and Shane, 

Hillsong United, Bethany Dillon, etc. 

Second is whatever genre you'd classify John Mayer, Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Jason Mraz, 

Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, etc.

20 bucks in your pocket and nothing to do all day! What do you do? 

Sleep in and then see a double feature movie with some of my sweet friends :)

Your dream job and location?

Fashion designer in NYC, photographer in Paris, or own a cupcake shop somewhere fun like Charleston, SC

Cardigans. Skinny Jeans. Hot boots. Tailored dresses. Whoops, that's 4.

Five words to describe your personality?

Passionate, caring, stubborn, encouraging, joyful

Favorite "sweet" treat?

Cupcakes at the moment :)

Share something about yourself that you rarely blog about!
I am officially down 51 pounds! I don't usually like to talk about my weight loss journey on my blog, because it's one of those things I've always been incredibly self-conscious about. But I've finally gotten to the point where I can talk about it without it making me uncomfortable. I've mentioned it a few times lately, I know. I've come so far, and it's been so hard, but I still have 25-30 pounds to go! Hopefully soon I'll show y'all some before, during, and after pictures! Your encouragement means the world to me.

From sweet Caroline over at A Life of Color

What is your favorite piece of jewelry you own?

At the moment, it's this necklace that I just bought from Loft...in love with it. But in general, it'd definitely be my pearls that I got for graduation. 

What is the most spontaneous thing you have ever done?

Wow, I just realized I'm not very spontaneous. I've done many a random roadtrips to other college towns, but nothing too off the wall...let me work on that and I'll get back to you!

Favorite color?

Favorite color to wear is black. Favorite color in general is anything jewel-toned. 

Or right now, any fall colors :)

In your opinion what makes a great first date?

Thoughtfulness, originality, and good, easy conversation. Oh, and a sweet gentleman never hurts!

Your biggest pet peeve?

When people are just plain inconsiderate.

Favorite desert?

Anything with chocolate. Or any kind of cake.

Dream car?

Black Range Rover sport. Hands down.

Favorite toy as a child?

Anything Barbie related. I had every Barbie you could imagine. AND the 4 story Barbie house complete with an elevator and a garage for her Mustang and Jeep. Pathetic.


Next is from precious Page at Crazy Joy...
When in your life has a moment or experience taken your breath away?

Being at the top of the Eiffel Tower at night and seeing all of Paris lit up

What is the best vacation you've ever been on?

My 2 week trip around Europe after high school graduation

What is the last thing you read? (book, magazine, blog - besides this one.)

Enjoying the Small Things blog. Do yourself a favor and go read it now.

What do you have an ache in your heart to do?

At this point in my life, I have a lot of desires, deep aches in my heart...to get married, start a family, settle down and find the perfect fit for me. 

But in general...my deepest desire is to live a life glorifying to Him on a daily basis. Some days, I'm going to be the only bit of Christianity people may see, so am I really glorifying Him?

Are you fashionable?  If so, how did you learn to be?

Um, I wouldn't call myself unfashionable... I enjoy clothes and finding my own style. I'm always reading magazines and online shopping to stay on top of what's in fashion and what's not. Heck, I'm a girl...what girl doesn't love clothes/fashion?

What was your favorite thing to do as a little girl?

I adored slumber parties. Loved them. And I had the most magical life-size playhouse and we played "house" for hours on end. I was always the "wife" and my best friend Taylor was always the "husband," and my sister was our child. Makes me laugh!

If you could, how would you change the world?

Honestly, if I really could, I would give up everything I owned at this point in my life and move to Africa, somewhere remote, somewhere that has never heard the name of Jesus and spread it as far as I could. I don't know how much change that would create, but it's a start. I seriously want to go on a mission trip soon...I have the urge to do something that will really matter in the long run.

Who is the most generous person you know?

My Mammaw. Precious, precious grandmother. She is the godliest woman I know, and I'm so thankful for her on a daily basis. She's who I strive to be.

And last but certainly not least, from cute Megan at A Day in the Life...
If you could go anywhere in the world, and money wasn't an issue, where would you go?
Easy question. Hands down, Paris. Right this very second. 


What is your favorite thing about yourself?
I have a big heart. I love deeply and strongly and with all that I am. But at the same time, it is definitely my downfall.


What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends?
Hang out with my friends, work out, spend time in the Bible, catch up on my books with a cup of coffee in hand, bake, roadtrips to Oxford


Who is your celebrity crush?
Eric Dane. Taylor Hanson. Matthew Gray Gubler. Joseph Gordon Levitt. 

Were you involved in any activities during your high school career? What?
Everything. Literally. Well, I only played basketball, but I was in every club ever created, way too into Student Council, Chorus, any service club you could think of, Annual Staff...blah, blah, blah. Then I went to college and didn't do squat.


What is the thing you miss most about college?
Having all of my best friends within 5 minutes of me. Living in the KD house. Weekends with nothing to do but having every option in the world. Spontaneity. Relaxing/partying on the Square/in the Grove. Study dates with Meg, MG, Megan, and Denise. RUF.


Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 
 Typical...hopefully married, working at a job I adore, thinking about/planning for kids. Happy as can be.


What are your favorite kid names?
Ava Catherine will be my first girl name. Other ones...Charlotte, Caroline, Natalie, Reese. Boys...Reese, Andrew, Jake, Jack, Finley. Boy names are super hard to come up with.
