easter sunday.

It's a beautiful morning, not only because it is Easter Sunday but because it's another reminder that every day is a blessing-- that I don't have to live in guilt or shame with my life because Jesus paid it all on the cross.

I have a confession to make.  We weren't able to make it to church today.  I had two shows yesterday, getting home around midnight.  David was throwing up everything yesterday and was pretty ill, so when I came home I wanted to make sure I was able to take care of him and love on him.  Let's just say I slept through my alarm by a few hours... still feel so tired and have to leave again in about an hour for our last show.  David says he feels a lot better than yesterday, but he's still trying to sleep it off. We want to spend Easter with his family but he has to get better in order to do that.  So,  I decided I could sit here and feel guilty about not going to church on Easter, or I could realize that my relationship with God is what matters so I choose the latter.  I spent time with him today.  I have so much to be grateful for!

1.  The Master Cleanse is over and I've lost 12 pounds!

I'm very happy with my progress and excited for my future.  As a young woman who has spent almost my entire life feeling like something is holding me back, and then realizing that that something is that I haven't been confident with the weight on my body, this change is a positive one.  I have a long way to go, but I think if I can go 14 days without food, I can pretty much do anything when it comes to being healthy.  My next step is the 30 day Shred... I want to finish it!  I will keep you posted on my progress.

2.  The cast and crew of The Marvelous Wonderettes at the IceHouse Theatre

It's very rare to be in a show with three other girls and there not be any drama.  It's been an amazing last few months spending every day with these ladies.  We became like family, and I will miss them so much! 

3.   The Seussical at Baggy Pants Theatre

17 year old me with a friend who played Horton the Elephant

 Well, I found out a few days ago I am cast in the Seussical at Baggy Pants Theatre in Maitland!  So excited to do the show again.  Last time I did it I was a senior in high school and got to play Gertrude. This time I'm a bird girl, but am excited to work with a new theatre.

Those are just a few of my many reflections today!  I plan on posting the journal I kept during the cleanse just in case anyone wants to know what it's all about, so I will post that very soon!  Have a wonderful Easter, everyone!
