get to know me

Since I was a little girl I have loved to dance. Since I was a little girl I have been heavier than the rest. Since I was a little girl I have been striving to be wanted. Since I was a little girl I have wanted and needed a true friend. 

“I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.”
Fred Rogers

Along some lines all of these things coincide until I met HIM! He who told me in Philippians 4:13 English Standard Version, " I can do all things through HIM who strengthens me." So it didn't matter that I was bigger, I could dance.

God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.  ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I was too small ( physically, mentally, and spiritually) to truly grasp what I was getting my self into when I felt God move into my heart. My grandmother kept praying with me and wanted to make sure I was in the right place before I went up front to be baptized, and you know what I am glad that it was in Gods timing and not ours because shortly after my baptism my grandmother moved away and could no longer drive me to church- so I WALKED. I knew that Christ wanted me and my true friends. Psalms 18:2 says, " The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."  I had wanted someone for so long and I found Him, but being again too small I would still seek the approval of the world through most of college ( yes a long journey from being a 5th grader to college but hey I am a girl and boys were cute- and you know what it makes my story better : ) 

“Never underestimate Jesus, because He will just prove you wrong.”
Brian Gurney

We all have dreams but ultimately I knew God was going to use my gifts( that he graced me with) and heart. I have always been a worker bee and that quality has not changed. I knew I was never going to be rich, then I married a minister and guaranteed I would never be rich : ) ( and the crowd giggled ) today I say that I am happier than I have been, and I am thankful for what God gives me, not what I dont have. 

“The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God.”
Smith Wigglesworth 

I have a job that I love that includes dance and cheer, currently share a car with my husband and live in an apartment the size of my dorm at OBU but you know what? Its Gods plan and who am I to try and change it? I have a life, I am wanted and I have a true friend in Christ, and he brought me my best friend Curtis. I sometimes wish about having a girl best friend that I can shop with or a life long best friend but thats just not in Gods plan right now ;)

 “Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one ever bothered to ask.”
Billy Graham

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

2014 Retrospective

Well well, 2015 snuck up on the Huffman- but want to look back at 2014. January tick tock, tick tock- we spent time waiting on our call- our 2013 ended after a whippity skippity trip to Indianapolis and knew that in Gods timing we would be finding out if and when we would take our next adventure. So before the end of January we knew our new journey would be to Indiana, and it would be soon. I ended my time at Gracepoint and subbed at Churchill Baptist until we got the news. Went to the San Antonio Zoo one last time for our 5th anniversary and what would be our last anni in SA ( for free due to the Spurs winning). We enjoyed seeing GHOST with friends before receiving our call and making final prep for our move to Indy. February Good byes are hard,  especially when they are family, friends and food. Both of us were born and raised in South Texas and even when we moved to Oklahoma for 9 months in 2008-2009 for school at OBU- San Antonio was still home. Basica...
