August Currently

You guuuyyyys! Can you believe that August is more than half way over??!! I seriously don't know where the Summer went. Can we just rewind back to May, please?

 Well, anyways...onto my August "Currently"!

Currently I'm ....

Loving
Wet 'N Wild's Comfort Zone eyeshadow palette.! I know I've mentioned it in a previous post, but I recently got back to using it more. I love that there are SO many different looks you can do with just this one palette.


Aren't those sooo pretty? I used it last night, and it looked awesome, if I do say so myself.

Eating-
I just bought the new Salted Caramel English muffins for my post workout meal, and I was a little disappointed because they weren't as good as I expected them to be! I mean, they weren't bad, but just not my favorite flavor. I top them with sugar free syrup and banana since I need those CARBS post workout!
I also recently tried the Vanilla Chex. Y'all know I love my post workout cereal! I like it, but I prefer the cinnamon Chex over the vanilla. Right now nothing beats my Honey Bunches of Oats cinnamon clusters or Froot Loops with marshmallows!


Doing-
I'm still enjoying doing the Scripture writing plans that I started last Fall. I found a bunch more on Pinterest and saved them all to a board on my page. I like these from Rachel Wojo that are topical.


Feeling-
Very sad that Summer is almost over. Look, I love Fall y'all, but winter comes after it, and I ain't excited about that. I'm actually trying not to think about it... because it's still months away! I will, however, be very happy when the dang humidity goes away, though. This has pretty much summed up the Summer here in Kentucky:

Wearing-
I'm totally not a trendy person whatsoever, but I found this romper at Marshall's, tried it on, and loved it! It's super comfy and super cute!


Watching -
The Olympics, of course! I mostly love watching gymnastics and the sprints. Gymnast's and sprinter's bodies are sick. I totally want their legs and glutes!

Reading-
My goal is to read one Christian non-fiction book per month. Right now I'm reading Tramp For The Lord by Corrie Ten Boom. I thoroughly enjoyed The Hiding Place, so I'm sure this one will be great as well. She has an amazing story.

Thinking about-
How fun it was to meet a longtime online friend in real life! Of course, we had to get a workout in together and get a gym selfie. I mean, that's what  you do, right? I was thinking how much fun it would be to get together like this with a group of my online blogger/Facebook/IG friends some day!

Looking forward to-
My sleepover with Celeste! She has never stayed overnight at my house, but the past few times she's been here she has left in tears because she wants to stay! So I'm going to plan a day for her to stay the night, and I'm super excited! We can swim in the pool, make cookies, play Hide And Seek, color, watch Disney movies, and read bedtime stories! I definitely think I'm more excited than she is!



Listening to-
Love & The Outcome, The God I Know. Absolutely loving this song right now! Puts me in a great mood!

"And Then I Threw My Hands Up
Worries Down
I Remember When He Showed Me How 
To Break Up With My Doubt
Once I was lost but now I'm found
No Strings Attached When He Saved My Soul
I Want You To Know The God I Know 
Oh, You Gotta Know 
Oh, The God I Know"

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
