The Birth of REALNESS


What is REALNESS?

REALNESS is about living a life as my Lord deems, not as my flesh wants. REALNESS is about accepting the love He so wonderfully gives to me although I don't deserve it. REALNESS is opening your heart to love Him and letting Him love others through you. REALNESS is about seeking the heart of God (His will), not just His hands (His blessings). REALNESS is not sweating the small stuff. Life is too short to waste one moment in anger. Everyone has a story. Is your story real or not? Mine is REAL. My story is that I have been Redeemed Eternally and Authentically Loved from day one of accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior. Don't you want to be REAL?
...We love because he first loved us... 1 John 4:19

WHO AM I?

My photo
I am so blessed to be living in the wonderful state of TEXAS! I am a Texas Exes (I'll pause here for all LONGHORNS to “Hook 'em Horns!”). I was born/ raised in the Big D and I love my hometown. I have been wonderfully blessed to follow my passion by helping those living with diabetes. I attend the best church in the metroplex under the awesome direction of Dr. Tony Evans. Praise God for those who walk under the Lord's direction and not in the ways of this world!

New Job

I will begin a new position at the Diabetes Health and Wellness Institute on Feb. 1st! Yay!
A long road to get to this point in my God-appointed career path. How far He has taken me. I'm astounded that He trusts me to do this work. I can't fathom why. Most days I don't trust myself and frequently seek His strength to get through the day. Bewildered daily why He allows me to live out my heart's passion and why He continually equips me to teach what is needed in a way that is received and understood. So blessed because I know He does it because He loves me. Small and awkward me. It's funny. I so want to know Him better this year. I need to know why He loves me, all of me. I'm imperfect and so flawed......I'm honored to call Him Father. I'm so grateful to call Him Big Daddy :-)
Big Daddy has loving arms and is faithful to me. I pray He will teach me to be faithful to Him and this gift. How do you view me Lord? Are you pleased? Do I make you smile? I pray you are glorified by my life.
-Forever your baby girl, Misty

Weight Update

Here it is in 2010 and I am still determined to live a life true to myself and that glorifies my Lord. Here's to being fit in 2010! I've had the ups and downs that go with managing my weight, along with shin splints and a sincere disgust for exercise at 5 am when its 30 degrees outside. But I have lost 10 lbs and I am forever hopeful to lose the another 20. I'm happy though....giddy actually, because I am loving on my Lord daily and you know what..... He's still loving on me. Yay!
