emotional me.

Let me start off by making it clear. I'm not emotional.

Okay....I wasn't emotional.

 

 

I use to be the person who could watch Sarah Mclachlan animal commercials and not shed one single tear. Now I find myself crying at Bible verses.

 

I tried to remember when this change started in me and "fix" it, but today I think I've finally become perfectly okay with these new found friends emotions.

Crying is no longer a sign of weakness, angry shouts are no longer a sign I'm just mad, and loud bursts of laughing; well those are still because I love laughing.

I now cry when I think about my amazing God & all He's allowed to be accomplished through me and through His works. I cry when I look at how perfect my son is and when I see him learn new things or when he holds my hand and asks me to pray. I cry when I hear encouraging stories, when I hear sad stories, when I hear really really really horrible stories.
        
I also cry when I can't lift something heavy. When my body wants to give up, but I don't. I cry when it takes me longer to get my sets done. {That actually might just be sweat...} That usually leads to my angry shouting.
 

 

So since you now know how emotional I've started becoming, it's noon and already today I've gotten tears in my eyes more times than my whole Senior year of high school.

Reason number 1?

 

 

 

These two pictures picture. {Yup a picture of my backside.}

  

Now lets all take this into consideration....

 

 

Okay, okay, since we're all telling the truth right now I am getting emotional just posting this! When I saw the picture of me planking I didn't think it was me at first. I honestly thought some other girl just had my shoes on. When I saw the Christmas pictures I took with my brothers&sister I asked my mom if that was photoshopped. I know I am no where near my goal, but so far this is one proud moment.

 

Still don't know how to thank Rafe, Jess, and CrossFit Pantego, but hopefully my tears can show my appreciation!!

 

Reason number 2

 

 

See that girl in the middle in the gray shirt?? Yeah her. Alicia.

 

After reading her blog today I am so proud to know that we both workout at CFP. Thanks for pullin my new heartstrings Alicia!! You can read her blog&follow her journey too, just click on her picture!

 

 

& Last [but probably not for long...]

Don't need to explain. My mom is my best friend and this doesn't prove why, it proves that God is perfect and He really does know when, where, and how you need to feel encouraged, motivated, and loved. I love you mama!

 

So there ya have it!

I guess I can be considered a 'real' woman now since I just shared my feelings and admitted that I don't mind them.

 

Don't be afraid to share yours.
