God's Grace

It's been a LONG time since I sat down to blog and boy do I miss it.  It seems my life has mimicked a roller coaster ride lately...fast paced, ups and downs but certainly a thrill. It's funny how we chart our own course, create our own agenda's and map our road to what we deem as success and God steps in and say...nope, not how it's going to be.  It's natural to resist His way because we simply want to control our own destiny but the sooner we figure out that we have no CONTROL and let go...God will take the reigns and show us a whole new destiny. 

For those not familiar with my journey, let me bring you up to speed.  I planned to graduate from college, get a couple degrees, a couple certificates, retire from At&t (my job of 16 years) and travel the world with my husband and eventually grand kids.  I had decided, I would never work on weekends, never after 3:30p and never during the holidays.  Sounds crazy but I pretty much communicated what I deemed acceptable and it has worked out in my favor.  Fast forward to current times...I now own my own fitness studio...I wake up at 4:30a, I have classes in the evening starting at 4:30p, on the weekends and heck...holiday's too.  Funny how my attitude has changed because I LOVE IT and wouldn't dream of not being their for my clients.

Don't get me wrong...I still have my 7a-3:30p job and I still have the same demands...I will not work weekends, after 3:30p or on holidays (at least there) :-).

My life can be a bit overwhelming but I am so thankful the Lord has surrounded me with some REAL friends that have my back more than I could have ever imagined.  People comment on how organized the studio is, how immaculate it is kept, how smoothly things run and question how is it possible.  The answer to that is GOD.  I promise you...this is not by my doing, I am not capable on my own...its by Gods Grace.
