So, by now, you might be wondering when the heck you started following this blog. Never seen the name before?
You're right you haven't, because I've changed it.
It was formerly known as: My Skinny Tale.
It was formerly known as: My Skinny Tale.
If you refer to my last post from a few months ago, I had taken the decision to step back from the blogging world to focus on my family and to seriously consider what the purpose of blogging would be..other than: because all the cool kids are doing it.

During my hiatus, I read Crazy Love by Francis Chan. A must read.
This book opened the eyes of my heart like nothing before. It moved me to understand that every little trivial thing we do, we must do it to give Him glory, to show His love..that crazy love that I don't deserve.
That crazy love, that is incomprehensible by our human minds.
As I finished the book, I couldn't help but feeling empty.
In my thirty one years of life, I felt like I had not done anything powerful enough to make an impact on some one's life.
Prayers were said. Tears were cried. Dreams were given.
I was revealed something that's always been in front of me:
My first and most important ministry is motherhood.
Seriously, my children were given to me as a precious gift from Him. How I reflect God's love in my daily life towards them and others, is how they will reflect God's love themselves..
It's funny how it takes a while to start getting the hang of this thing called life.
This blog has gotten a makeover.
Originally, the focus was my journey in switching to a healthier lifestyle. Although, that is a great theme for a blog, that is not everything I have to offer, plus I'm not sure I was the best person qualified to give fitness advice. I kinda realized it after I cheated on my diet for the twentieth....billionth time.
I'm no health nut, or fitness expert, and by golly I have way more to write about than fitness/nutrition!
While that is still a big focus for me, it is not the only one. So I will now write about everything and anything that moves within me all while allowing Him to mold me in every which way that is needed and to reflect Him in my daily life. While placing it in His hands, I pray that this little blog can be used as an instrument for inspiration and/or blessing to someone. There are so many dreams that God has placed in my heart, all to give Him glory. This is the beginning of fulfilling those dreams, all while following His direction.
I have made a promise to myself this time: God and my family comes first.
So, I apologize in advance if this blog is not one that has a new post every single day.
Heck, to make it up for you I might post twice in one day after being neglected for two or three. Okay probably not.
Can't wait to see what this new ride brings.
Until next time friends,
