Coffee & Conversation: Struggles

I haven’t had the chance to link up with my sweet friends Kalyn and Lauren since their first Coffee & Conversation, so I’m excited to be here today to have some coffee with you sweet friends and discuss their topic of choice!
Coffee & Conversation
Today’s Topic:
What are you currently struggling with in your life?
I think this is a wonderful question and something that I’m going to enjoy getting off my chest and talking with you fabulous bloggers about!  At the moment I’m seriously struggling with a schedule.  That may sound lame, I know there are plenty of other things in this world to struggle with, but my schedule has been weighing on my heart a lot lately!  I work an 8-5 job and sometimes have to put in extra hours to get all my work done.  I have biblestudy on Monday nights, church on Wednesday nights, and I try to have time set aside each day to spend with the Lord.  On top of that, I really want to train for a race or a triathlon, so I need time to workout and train.  It’s been a struggle for me to get out of the bed early enough to barely make it to work on time.  Then I’m at work all day, sometimes working through lunch, eating at my desk, and then go home and do some cleaning, a little blogging, cook dinner, and spend time with friends and family. 
My ideal schedule:
5AM – Wake Up
5:30AM – Gym
6:30AM – Shower and get ready for work
7:15 or 7:30 – Quiet time
8AM-5PM – Work
5PM-9PM – Dinner, Blog, Clean, Family and Friends
It’s the morning that I’m struggling with!  I’m a natural born morning person, I love my mornings and I love having tons of quality time to myself in the morning to do various things (working out, not being one of them), but I have to workout in the morning in order to make sure it happens that day because the later it gets, the more likely it’s NOT happening.  So although I love waking up early and sipping my coffee while doing my quiet time and catching up on blogs, I really need to rearrange my schedule to allow for a good workout in the morning and let the other stuff happen at night!  
This is a constant struggle for me and something I need to work on, but it can be so hard when I love the quiet time of being alone in the morning before my sisters get up for school to have blogging and reading my bible.  I know that God calls us to take care of his “temple” (my body) and getting in a good workout is part of that, so it’s something I must make happen and if doing that in the morning will make that happen, then that’s what I need to do!
What do you struggle with??
*Don’t forget to enter my Woolzies Giveaway!*

Giveaway!

Hi there friends, so I did a Woolzie Dry Balls Review and Giveaway a few days back!  I seriously think these Woolzie Dryer Balls are amazing and I’m offering them for FREE, and I only have two entries so far… so I started thinking about it and realized that I had made following me with GFC and with Bloglovin were both required entries.  I guess I assumed that most people were moving to Bloglovin after the big announcement and didn’t think it’s be that big of a deal, but it may have been.  Also, I know how frustrating it is when I’m forced to enter mandatory entries on a giveaway and this shouldn’t be about my satisfaction of getting followers from this giveaway and forcing people to follow me on Bloglovin (when I’m the person who wrote not too long ago about being selective on who you put in Bloglovin).

All of this to say that I’ve changed the requirements for the giveaway and I hope you choose to enter because it really is a product I believe in!  Hope y’all are having a wonderful Saturday!

Dear Good Friday!

Dear Good Friday, although it’s nice to have you off and I understand the reason behind making you a Easter holiday, it would be nice to have Monday off instead so then we would have a day after Easter for traveling home instead of going to church and then if you’re visiting family you have to leave immediately to be at work on Monday.  #personalfrustration  Dear Once Upon a Time, I enjoy morning where I can catch up on the show!  Dear my 1st ever Blogger Workshop, you were SO fun! I can’t wait to post on the blog about it and it created a wonderful new blogging idea!  Can’t wait to share with y’all in vlog form!  Dear Lord, I’ve been busy and a little behind on our quiet time together, it makes me sad, and makes my week a little more difficult, but I look forward to having time this weekend to spend with you!  Thank you for dying on the cross and saving us from our sins and then rising from the dead! Dear velBita Breakfast Biscuits, wow you’re delicious and after my sample from Influenster, I bought my own box!  Dear Influenster, I enjoyed getting my first voxbox and I loved all of my samples and I look forward to writing up my blog post about it and hopefully getting another box in the future!  
Have a wonderful Good Friday friends!
