Bikini babe in 20 mins...

I get emails all the time about how people want to change their lives and lose weight but do not have time. First of all, it is 80% diet 20% workout. This idea is still hard for me to wrap my head around but never the less this means it SHOULD be "easy" for you to make the time. I personally enjoy exercises and my time in gym. It is therapeutic for me. I turn on my Jesus music and get after it. All that said, your workout does not have to be hours long. In fact you can do a shorter workout with more intensity (you can't have it both ways short and easy... I know sorry...). Below you will find a 20 minute workout you can do ANYWHERE! So get offline and get to work! Your dream body is waiting for you.
Love always,

Raindrops keep fallin on my head...

So here we are it has almost been 2 weeks since I competed at Miss Texas and I have put my makeup on one time since then... It has been lovely.I had an incredible time during Miss Texas week but after finishing the week I realized I had a lot more free time. I decided to finish up my journey with Texas Tech in Summer II classes so I have no life other than pajamas and my laptop. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions, joy, tears, laughing, soul searching, and everything in between. And after all that I have decided.... I have no clue what's next. Has this ever bothered you? I love to plan and I mean really plan. For example I know every single detail about my wedding... except I am not even dating anyone... embarrassing but never the less I am a planner. There is always a time for waiting when it comes to finding your purpose. Which as annoying as it is, this means in a bizarre way it is part of the plan. 
In between all the piles of homework and as I close the chapter of my undergrad life, I have really started seeking the Lord for what He has next for me. I keep being drawn back to the story of Job. Many of you probably know this story but to summarize...  To prove Job’s faithfulness to the Lord, God allowed the devil to destroy everything Job owned. Job was a wealthy man. He lost his crops, property, cattle and servants. But most devastating of all was when Job lost his children. However, Job did not blame God. He accepted that God had a plan and more than just plan but a plan with purpose. So Job would be patient for God to reveal His plan. Job knew that sometimes bad things happen to good people.Often people will talk about the patience of Job. He knew God had a plan and was willing to accept what God allowed in his life. In the end God restored to Job twice as much as he had in the beginning (Job 42:10). I have so much respect for Job here. He knew that patience was a part of the plan God had for his life. 
While my life has been a breeze compared to Job, I have learned that sometimes our lives don't always make sense to us but that is where the growth, character, and personal integrity come in. We know that we will have victory in the end but let today, while weathering the storm come with its own triumphant sigh of relief knowing that you are where you are by design not by default. 
Keep on keepin on,
Keli K.
