You see a girl running and working out every day. You see a girl that’s fit and got it all together. You see a girl who is in charge of her life. You see a girl who eats healthy. You see a girl succeeding. ... You see a face of a person.... . This is what happens when you judge a book by its cover. You grow this hard shell of jealousy and hate. . If you only knew a little part of her story the outlook on that fit, healthy, got it all together girl would look a lot different forcing you to then have compassion and heart for her. You all the sudden want her to win. . If only you knew her when she was binge eating with zero movement what so ever. If only you knew her at her heaviest and very unhealthy life. If only you knew the WORK she put in to be where she is today. If only you heard those conversations and arguments with God that she had. If only you knew the battle she fought every. Single. Day and the redemption and chains that fell off at the feet of Jesus. If only you knew.... .

Never did I EVER think that I would be a runner....and LOVE it! . . Yet here I am, killin it!!

Just did my workout and as always I feel FIREY afterwards! and also if you asked any of my very close friends lately, I’ve felt a FIRE in my soul this week that hasn’t let up.... . . So if your easily offended and like things to be fluffy and think that I’m a mean person because I don’t do things that way then you don’t need to read any longer... scroll scroll friend. .... . Throughout my entire life since I was a little girl, I have watched the CLOSEST people to me die physically at a young age... TOO young. Which is why I am the way that I am today. I will NEVER STOP fighting for my kids’, my husbands or my health. NEVER. I have a DEEP passion for health in general and have grown IMMENSELY in my knowledge about EVERYTHING. Especially after I had kids. . Now in my 30s I have also seen people close to me that have died or are dying spiritually... . . You can focus on your health. You can take ALL the vitamins. ALL the herbs. ALL the WHATEVERS but if your not sweating JUST as much reading your Word and getting down with JESUS as you are in your work or your workouts (whatever it is for you. Fill in the blank) than NONE of that matters. NONE OF IT. . I need TRUTH.... because if we don’t have that truth or seek that truth, then where are we going?! LIFE is simple yet drawn out with so much CONFUSION ...we don’t know where to turn... turn to Jesus. . Because one day your gonna look around and say, what in the ACTUAL world is happening. And why?! . Life is WAY too short. Way WAY too short. God doesn’t run on time. Today is the day to start making good choices. . Alesha See more

I’m a lot. I am. I know I am. ... I’ve always known I am. I get over-the-top excited about mundane things. I get overly-emotional about mundane things as well. I have ten thousand ideas flowing rapidly through my brain at any one point in time. I think fast. I speak fast. I type even faster. I sing at the top of my lungs whether I’m in church, or sitting alone in my car. I think the world is falling, and then realize maybe I just haven’t had any sleep the last two nights, and I need a glass of water, and everything appears sunny again. I send ten text messages in a row. And, oh yes, you’d better believe they are full of exclamation points and emojis. I plan girls’ trips at the drop of a hat. I work really hard to make everything magical. I apologize all the time. I talk way too much. I take up too much space. I dance anytime music is ongrocery store, car, bank, doesn’t matter. I build businesses and then new businesses and new businesses. I see clothes that I absolutely HAVE to have. I think every movie I’ve ever watched is the best ever. I like every song that comes on the radio, and I rave about them, and I research the lyrics and try to figure out the deeper-meaning. I cry about situations, and then turn around with my next breath and flip the switch and find the ever-elusive silver lining. I’m a lot. I’m passionate. I rarely walk. If I’m going somewhere, I run. (Metaphorically-speaking, of course. If I’m literally running, something weird is up.) When I’m chill, I’m chill. But when I’m notwatch out, sister. I don’t tiptoe. I jump in without looking back. And I splash water everywhere. I have energy, and I like for energy to be given back to me. I used to hate this about myself. Everything I just mentioned made me blame myself, and question myself, and want to be by myself, and also somehow, made me want to be with everyone all the time. I used to think being too much was my worst quality. I thought it was the reason I was misunderstood and lonely. I thought it was my greatest setback. And so I quieted myself up. I played small. I bottled my excitement. I convinced myself to become less. BUT I WAS NOT MAD

I’m starting over. I’ve cheated myself enough and too much actually and my brain can’t just pick up where I left off and the days be off. I have to do it right or not do it at all ( I know, not a great trait) but that’s how it is and not doing it at all is NOT an option. . Also, I am not a morning person but I wish I was! Lol it wasn’t that early this morning when I got up but I’m a night owl and didn’t go to bed until super late so it was ROUGH! . BUT nothing good happens ...in your comfort zone no matter what it is in life and making a change in the time I get my workout in gave me SO MUCH life and felt SO GOOD! . Getting up before the kids to do this no matter how tired I am in the beginning, sets my day up for success! My mommy go go juice gets me going and then the natural endorphins do the rest! I am able to be a happy momma when my kids wake up and have the energy I NEED so desperately to do all of the things for everyone for a successful day! . I hope this helps you and hope that you make the choice today to make it great by making your best decisions for YOU that help you be successful. See more
