Be still, my soul, be still & Chobani!!

Hey beautiful people! WOW I know I have been so MIA since I have last posted. I apologize for that! Basically life has been crazy in every way since graduation. I find myself at the throne of the Lord with my hands spread out just desperate for Him with my next steps. So many options, not much clarity at the moment! I have applied for different jobs, but also a part of my heart would love to move away for a couple of years and do mission work somewhere. Im not sure if I am supposed to do that before or after I have a family though! But this is good- this keeps me literally RUNNING to the Lord every second of the day. This is a totally new spiritual muscle I have been having to exercise! Like TRUE faith. My entire life I have known my next steps, you know? Like elementary school, middle school, high school, college… then.. uhhh! IM A FREE BIRD! It feels awesome at times and scary at other times! I know the Lord has it ALL planned out..and Ive really been testing on that lately! I am so guilty of making my own plans in my head!! I have so many friends getting married and engaged so of course I think that’s my next step – but the other day the Lord was like “what if that’s not your next step, Katie?! What if I have a different plan for them than I do you?” and I was like DANG I am so dumb sometimes! He just told me to stop, rest with Him, feel His embrace, and LOVE Him and LOVE people, and He has got every single piece of my future. So that’s where I am right now! He is such a good Dad- seriously. I cant even fathom how powerful His Holy Spirit is sometimes!! It LIVES in side of us- we have that same authority! That’s crazy, right?! CRAZY AWESOME!!!
And seriously go read Psalm 139 and you cant tell me God doesn’t have a MAJOR plan for each of you!! He LONGS to know you and be intimate with you! Seriously!! We can go to church and bible studies all we want, but if we are not intimate with the Father, we are missing out!
Fitness wise- Wheww that has totally changed over the past few months!! I have still been working out some, but not NEARLY as hardcore. It feels awesome actually! Knowing I have all my fountains in the Lord doesn’t “drive” me to work out an insane amount or EVER put working out before something important! But I know I need to take care of my body, so a little working out here and there feels AWESOME! Its crazy how much that part of my life has changed in such a short amount of time!! It wasn’t until I was able to see myself the way the Lord sees me that I didn’t feel the need to work out to the extreme. And honestly, all this rest has made my muscles look way better.. haha! Just a cool bonus and cool testimony of how the Lord REALLY does take care of us when we put Him first! FREEDOM!!

I had to get a minor surgery done this past Friday so I am kind of out of commission at the moment BUT its been awesome, the Lord did SO MANY COOL THINGS through it! So many cool conversations with the nurses, doctors, my family, my friends. His glory can shine anywhere and everywhere. I am thankful!! So I have been enjoying LOTS of yogurt the past few days, LOVING CHOBANI!!

Also LOVING..

Brown Rice or Quinoa bowls w. broccoli slaw, grilled chicken (marinated in buffalo sauce), goat cheese, roasted peppers, onions, topped with 1 fried egg/avocado/salsa.. SO GOOD!

TURKEY MUFFINS! I just mix up ground turkey with a little bit of egg beaters, oats, onions, peppers, feta cheese, and a TON of seasonings. Then i put em in mini muffin tins and bake them for about 20 min at 375!

Spinach oats! You just stick em in the blender with spinach and the oats turn green, promise you cant taste it!

Lifetime’s Life’s Basic plant protein- chocolate flavor.. SO GOOD!

Justins Almond Butter.. YUM

Flat out wraps- the honey flavor! Makes a good pizza crust, a little sweet and a little salty!
