Picture Frame....Make a Decision Already

-

My assignment...find a picture frame. Sounds simple,  right? But on the contrary. It was an all day adventure that the Lord ended up teaching me a lesson on how this applied to my life. So it all began one beautiful Saturday afternoon.  I went into Hobby Lobby to get a picture frame for a project I was working on. I go to the back of the store and there they were...the wall of frames. Now I had come a previous day and took pictures of the frames so I figured I should be in and out of the store. But no.......here I go. I go up and down the aisles as if something is going to be different from a couple of days before. I scrutinized every frame....down to the detail, paint, wood...you name it...I saw it. And if I found a framed a liked....I looked through every frame to make sure I had the best one out of the design. But nope, not good enough.

A lady walks up after I stood there for at least 30 minutes at this point looking at one of the frames. She picks up two of the frames I was looking at and walks away. She did not scrutinize or look at it with a fine tooth comb..nope she made a decision and kept moving. So at this point.....I just made a decision and picked a frame and went to the front. Well the frame I choose had damage on the right corner. So I had to go back to the "wall of frames" and choose another one. I believe after another 30 or so minutes I choose another frame. Well the Lord taught me a lesson through all this......make a decision already! He said my life will pass me by making sure everything is perfect before making a decision while others will make a decision and keep moving forward. And if they make a wrong one, will adjust and make a another decision and do it correctly. The moral of the story is: in order to be an effective "u goal girl" you must make effective, quality decisions. If you wait for perfect conditions before making a decision....life will pass you by and you will be jealous of those that had the courage to make theirs. Keep moving forward in your decision making process. You can do it.

Your "u goal girl",

Just a warning...you may need to get some tissues for today's blog post. Well as I pondered about what I was going to write today I came across this video and I want you to take a look at it. Please view it before you continue reading. fdafdasfdksjalf; During the video I must have cried and cried and cried. It really touched my heart for many reasons. I had thought about all the areas in my life that it seemed like I failed, but I kept getting back up again. I see although the process was painful just like the guy on the video...I have grown tremendously in every area of my life. I was talking to a friend this past Saturday. I have been at my job for several years, with no hopes of a promotion or increase in salary. She said to me....well Ericka create your own breakthrough. She said I believe alot of your frustrations will go away when you get a new job and recognize your worth. When I watched the video they told him he would never walk again and he was overweight.

How It All Began.......Part II

-
The first day I was so excited and pumped. I decided everyday that I worked out to post it on Facebook. Another form of accountability. Little did I know this would be a great support for me in the end. I also sensed accomplishment by posting and that I could go on. After the third day, my legs were very sore, I had to massage them for about thirty to forty five minutes before the pain would go away. But I did not let that stop me. This also happened other times during the thirty days. I made sure to eat correctly, I even fasted sweets and watched the fried foods that I ate. Every day of the challenge I pressed forward, even if I did not want to workout, I looked passed my feelings and looked at the end result. This challenge was one of the most difficult things that I have ever done so far in my life. The videos were extremely hard and they took great effort to finish them at least at that time. But as I began to count the days down, I began to see the results that I had always wanted
