Renewed Vision... A Journey To A Healthier Me

Many of you know that a few months ago I made a pledge to loose weight. I'm not going to lie when I made the pledge it seemed simple. Just eat right and go running everyday, or as close to everyday as possible. So I started on my journey and at first I was all about it and doing great. But what most of you don't know is I played baseball in high school and still suffer from a few of the injuries that occurred back in the day. Thus leaving my body in a few different aches and pains at different times through out the month. When all of this happened my running commitment dropped tremendously, not to mention that I was on the road at the time also.

Thankfully this Christmas I got a membership to the gym!!! Just what I asked for! So now even if my body hurts to much to go running. I can ride the bike and lift weights. If you can't tell I'm excited about this. Then just trust me, I'm thrilled about this!

Oh yeah, did I mention I still managed to loose 15 Lbs. without really exercising like I wanted too! Ha, that just proves God is able to do anything!

Happy New Years!!!

Built Just For Me!!!

I have a really close friend who recently started his own Guitar making company (Beck Guitars). This is the beautiful Guitar he built just for me. I can honestly say there will never be another one like it. It's the best sounding guitar I have ever heard. And when you hear it coming through the speakers at you're church you will love it just as much as I do!

Sweet 25 in Chi-Town

Can you guess where I am in this picture? That's right, Chiago baby! That's right It's my Birthday! And I've turned 25!
Here's my Brotha Justin! He came out to celebrate with us for my Birthday. If you're a teenager looking for a church in Chicago look him up. He is one of the world's best Youth Pastor's!
While in Illinois I received an awesome gift from some very sweet friends. They bought me train tickets to Lincoln, IL. Where the picture above of Matthew was taken. This trip was special for a number of different reasons. But I'm only going to list a few... Not only was this my first ever trip taken by train but I had awesome friends / family surrounding me the whole trip. And did I mention how much I just love my friends in Lincoln, IL!

Just wanted to send you a much needed update!
