it's a new day!

today is the beginning of september!

this means:

-FALL (well kinda)

-beginning of our new budget (dave ramsey style, ya'll)

-beginning of my new eating and exercising habits

-bible study starts up again @ jill's 

-a super steady, super busy month at work (not as excited about that one)

-trevor's birthday!!

but lets get down to the nitty gritty. i am so excited about this month for 1 specific reason. OBEDIENCE.

in my life, my quiet times, by observations, i have learned so much about how my life reflects on my willingness to obey the Lord. the way i eat obsessively speaks of my self-discipline. the way i let our house get disgusting is a direct reflection of my heart. realizing all of these things has led to conviction, encouragement and challenge about this month.

be it our money, our food, time with each other... we are going to be obedient with it. everything i do is either obedient to the Lord or disobedient. this month, the rest of this year, i choose to live a life of obedience. of discipline the Lord has given to all who claim him as savior. i am beginning a journey i've set out on a thousand times, but failed. i will fail again. but this time, i am not giving up! my heart is connected. i'm init to win it! (to far? too cheesy? :) )

so... i am committing to have wednesday weigh in! WHOA. on the blog. WHOA. my eating change is not about losing tons of weight. but being disciplined in this area is bound to show itself on the scale. i won't be sharing my weight, but i can definitely share pounds lost! 

so. i am EXCITED about this month. it is the beginning! it's a new day! it is my january 1st! :) 

on another note.... i've been slowly working on photography logos. started out with asking a someone to create one over the summer but realizing that i know what i like and am not good at communicating it to other people! so i sat down and created my own. let me know which one you like! or if you have comments or suggestions. here we go!

see you around!
