my year without fast food or soda.

    In 2012, I made a new years resolutions to not drink soda or eat fast food (except Chick-fila). Why you might ask? Just because, I wanted to see what it was like. I learned many things throughout this experience.

    Most of the time I didn't regret turning down soda or fast food because I knew there were healthier options.
But every once in a while it wasn't worth the troubles, but I kept my resolution. I found out that when I turned many fast food places down their where much healthier and more filling options to eat/drink. I will still try not to eat fast food this year, but if need be I will. Some fast food places it is not worth it, their food and their service is terrible. I am not trying to put these companies because some people this is all they can afford. I am just pointing out that there are many ways to eat healthy on a budget and cutting out fast food and soda is just one step toward it. It is okay every once in a while to treat yourself but not every single day or week. This is just my take on fast food and soda. What do you think?

what i believe and why

    Why do you believe what you believe? A few months ago someone had stated a question that I thought I might need to answer. I thought about this and came to realize I didn't have an answer except "because it is what my parents believe". Now if you think about it, a lot of people would say that or "because I go to church". It took me a while to figure out an answer but God put me through many trials that pushed me to lean on him. And I came to realize God is my rock, my everything, and without him I would be nothing. God is my savior. You and I go through trials everyday and sometimes we are just so worn out. We all want someone to lean on, and God is who I lean on. So to sum it up I believe what I believe because God is my rock, I lean on him.

    Now I would like to share with you what I believe. I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior not my religion. I think that there are so many definitions of a Christian and I don't really prefer to to call myself a Christian. What I believe is pretty simple, God is who I lean on, pray to, and trust in. He is who I live my life for. He is first. Now how I live my life since I am a Christ follower is a whole different blog post. Ha.  I wanted to keep this blog post pretty simple so I did. I would love to hear your feedback, so thanks for reading! Have a lovely day.
