Currently I've really been struggling with healthy habits. I don't want to be gluttonous and be so dependent on food because believe me I like to eat. I mean who doesn't? I have a major sweet tooth but I also have a problem with accepting my body the away it is. It is a constant battle of obsessing over eating healthy and indulging in my chocolate cravings. I don't want to feel guilty for eating what I want but I don't want to look at myself and realize that I don't like what I see. It is such a hard balance and for girls everywhere it is a battle. You have to compromise.
One of my mentors said to me that eating is a form of worship. You are enjoying what God has blessed us with and eating is also a way of survival.
But on the other hand, I believe that our bodies are a temple and we are to treat it with care and discipline. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Recently one of my guy friends also called me out for "conforming to society" with what we think we, as girls, are supposed to look like. And I was a little standoffish because, uh no you didn't just call me out, and then I thought we'll at least there are guys out there that don't let this world obscure the beauty of a girl just the way our Creator made us.
Wow that was a lot of rambling but I hope any of the girls reading this know that you are not the only one struggling with this.

Changing A Flat
Today I got in my car to go to the gym and run some errands. I could feel something a little off about my car but it has had so many issues lately I just thought it was no big deal. It wasn't unitl after I was headed home that a man in a car next to me at a stop light flagged me down and frantically pointed at my car. So I rolled down my window so that he could inform me that my tire was flat. I babbled, "okay thanks," and drove off as the light turned green. I wasn't quite sure what to do-- whether I should pull over or try to make it back to the parking garage. I made it back and parked my car and saw that my tire was definitely deflated.
I had to call up some of my guy friends and see if they could help me out.
The point is that if that man hadn't have waved at me from the other lane I never would have known my tire was flat. (Obviously I don't know much about cars.) But this is true in life too, in our Christian lives.
People are going through life and they know something isn't quite right but they dont know what that is. We as Christians are called to chase after non-believers and tell them their tire is flat, they have sin and but the love of Christ covered that sin. If we don't tell them then how will they know?
Now I know this might be kind of a stretch of a metaphor but for me this experience showed me alot.
