Thank You & A Giveaway

To My Readers:

Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it. 

Your comments yesterday meant the world to me. Thank you for your kind words, and for your encouragement. You guys blow me away with the amount of support and love that I find here on this blog, and I am so thankful for this amazing network of women that I have found in cyberland. 

Thank you for never judging me, for never accusing me of falling short, and for always appreciating the deepest and most honest parts of my heart. 

Thank you for always being there to pray for me. Whether we're talking over Instagram, Twitter or even texting, I am thankful that I always have people to pray. 

For the record, I reached out for prayer at 10PM on Tuesday night as I was fighting a 102 fever and really hoping to work a full day on Wednesday. 

I woke up at 6:45AM with a beautiful 97 degree temp, and was able to get in and work a full 9 hours. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers. They work. 

And most importantly, thank you for pointing me back to Christ. 

Each and every one of your comments just poured out God's love. And not just on yesterday's post, always. You guys are constantly inspiring me to seek after Christ, the lover of my soul, the one who can fill every little crack in my heart. 

The cracks that no man can fill. No friend can fill. No job can fill. No dress, high heels, or rockin pair of jeans can fill. 

The cracks that no 9.3 mile run can fill. No Lower Body Blast class can fill. No burrito can fill. And no cup of Yogurtland can fill. 

And those cracks? They are nothing to be ashamed of. We all have them.

But the good news is we all have a Savior too. 

A Man named Jesus Christ who passionately loves us. And His love is the perfect kind of love. The kind of love that can heal even the biggest of cracks. 

So thank you for reminding me of that yesterday. 

You guys are wonderful. And I love you. 

Each and every one of you. 

Which is why I'm giving one of you beautiful ladies a beautiful necklace. 

Like that transition, there?
