A Day That Made Me Oh So Thankful
I didn't want to be Miss Nebraska for any other reason than to have the most amazing opportunity every day to speak about a platform I believe can change lives from the inside out.
It's not about getting patted on the back, it's not about being told you're beautiful, it's not about being seen, it's not about recognition.
But.... goodness, the few times you get to SEE the impact, it just makes me weep. Total Body Wellness is something I believe in, and aim to walk out every second of my day, every day of my life. Today I received a sweet thankful message from a young lady today, as well as an email from someone who deemed themselves a "HUGE FAN, asking for advice."
These seemingly small bits of gratification perked up my day and made me smile bigger than BIG! Not because it was about glorification, but just as a tangible marker that TBW is digging out pain, and filling people up with wellness of the Spirit, Soul, and Body!
I shake my head and laugh because all I can do is thank and point to God for placing me here to GET TO serve my favorite state for a whole year. It's BEYOND worth every long day, long drive, confusing GPS moment, awkward encounter, stare, and times when I just want to sleep in for a day! The hours I put in at the gym, eating healthily, my quiet time with the Lord, in worship, building/strengthening my inner circle, loving family, my home church.. .etc are all what make me able to do this job faithfully, and to the best of my ability.
Thank you EVERYONE for any kind of support you've brought my way. I love being Miss Nebraska, and am cherishing and soaking up every day, because my my it's already ⅓ over!!! (Nooooo!)
Finally, if you feel like there is anything I could impart to you (have Questions, need advice, random things), based on my testimony, experience, expertise, or passions, please never hesitate to contact me personally. ([email protected])
