#keep the faith
On the left is the morning I had surgery so not even at my highest weight, I was already about 30 pounds down. On the right is a couple weeks ago at 6.5 weeks postpartum .
It’s crazy because when I look in the mirror my brain still sees that girl on the left especially since having Ben. I just see all the flaws and imperfections. I see how far I still have to go. All the sacrifices I still have to make and all the workouts I’ve neglected.
But when I look at these side by side I see how far I have come and the distance to the finish line doesn’t seem so far! I’m SO CLOSE to my goal. I just have to keep going.

On this day November 3rd 1992 Bon Jovi released the album Keep The Faith
I am grateful for all that I have and will recive.
Deep breaths. The univers is working on your dreams and wishes. You just have to be patient.
Unfortunately, there are no jobs, seems like, available in the city that I live in. I have applied everywhere that I possibly can and have even looked into going into the coal mines as a back up! I really don’t want to go into the coal mines, though, unless I absolutely have to. I’m still hoping to get $50.00 here soon, so that I can apply at the Board of Education to be a substitue teacher. That way, when Alissa starts school, she’ll have me there for her whenever she needs or wants anything. I always had my aunt working in the school system growing up, and she was, at one time, the principal I was going to school at. Whenever I didn’t have break money, or wasn’t feeling well, I could always go to her and let her know and she would help any way she could.
I know some of you are going to be like, “oh my gosh you’re moving again?!” Nothing is for certain yet, but if we can’t find jobs soon we may have no choice but to move back to Florida. I, of course, have no problem with moving back to Florida but I know Whit really wants to stay here as long as he can. I understand where he’s coming from and why he wants to stay, so I’m not mad or aggravated or anything within that nature. I have my reasons for wanting to go back and he has his reasons for wanting to stay. We both understand where we both are coming from and I’m glad that we are able to talk about any and everything that is on our minds. Like I said - nothing is for certain yet so please don’t get my words mixed up.
**Please continue to keep Whit and I in your prayers, please, as we continue to go through this long process. Pray that we are able to get jobs soon and are able to start working on our trailer!**
Hello my lovely followers!! I hope everyone has had an amazing summer and is just as excited about Fall coming soon as I am. I know it has been a minute since I last posted but I’m hoping this will change very, very soon.
Like I posted in one of my earlier posts - I talked about doing small posts like this until we are able to get wifi and until I’m able to get a phone to post videos.
Unfortunately, Whit and I still haven’t had any luck with a job yet. We have been applying and I’m honestly starting to think about getting back on at Walmart. I loved working at Walmart when I did so I’m not really upset about maybe getting that job back…maybe. Whit has applied at the railroad but he has yet to hear anything back from them. It’s hard right now but I know God has us…we’re where he wants us to be and, eventually, things will get better than what they are now.
