| It's Monday afternoon. Around 3:00, actually, so... very afternoon. By the time 11:00 AM rolled around this morning, I had already spilled cough syrup down my shirt, tripped on nothing, and smashed my thumb. One of those days, I guess. It's pretty funny, if you think about it! I can barely talk without sneezing... it's awesome! So on to better subjects... I love my life. It's rather stupid. I just moved into my own apartment (and I absolutely love it). I have a wonderful job, I work around wonderful people, I have wonderful friends, and have been hanging out a lot lately with a special friend (Who's pretty much rocking my freaking world, but it's whatever). Went to see Sara Groves in Dallas Saturday night. Wow. I mean, really? God is good. So good. So right. | | |
| I have never been more aware of what a gentleman the Lord is... I'm speechless. Honored... and speechless. | | |
| I really have no idea why I've stopped blogging. I want to say that I'm over it, but I'm not sure that's really the case. I like to blog my thoughts. Maybe it's the hectic schedule or just the fact that I'm in a season of life where it's easier to just let things be than to try and explain them all away. My life is changing. It's changing and changing drastically. I've always tried to change myself and in the past have ended up falling short of a goal. Things seem a little different this time around. I feel like I did not ask for the changes. They are welling up from deep inside and I am so thankful that the Lord has decided to shake things up (in a good way). Little by little the people pleaser that has made her home in my life moves out. I have wasted many years on making sure I've liked the right kind of music, watched the right type of movies, laughed at the right kind of jokes, disliked the right kind of coffee shop. I mean seriously? Screw it all. It doesn't matter. None of it. I am taking those wasted years back. I will own up to my decisions. I will fight for what I believe is worth fighting for. I will try my hardest to love, without condition, those that are the hardest to love. I will quit waiting for confirmation from others to move about the paths the Lord has affirmed deep within (over and over). I am so thankful for the people sitting on the other side of the wall. For those who sit in offices across from the one I am sitting in right now. For those who aren't afraid to be seen giving hugs. For those who are teaching me to just let it be. I am thankful for the changes... as surprising as they are. I am thankful for the little embers of dreams that are being stoked right now. So with or without anyone's permission... I breathe in, breathe out, and move on (and on). And it feels good. | | |
| Man, I have really slacked on my blogging since I got to Texas (ahem, 9 MONTHS ago). Things have really been stabilizing themselves and I'm really enjoying it. I now feel like I'm at home. I know where I like to grocery shop, Saturdays aren't so intimidating anymore, the more I get to know the people the Lord surrounded me with the more I fall in love with them, I don't get annoyed by the traffic on Hwy 360 anymore.. I expect it, etc. Random, I know. God is so good. So faithful. Such a romancer. Someone the other day said that we are simply "managers" of what He's so graciously given to us. So true. A year ago I was in the middle of one of the darkest seasons of my life (so far). As I tried to think myself out of the hole I had burrowed myself into.. I never once imagined that I would end up here, doing what I'm doing, with the people I am doing it with. I love it. I can't say it enough. Yes, I am watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Again. | | |
| I love life. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my job. I love the people I work with (who are also the people I "church" with). I even love my office. I got a digital camera from some of my seniors for my birthday. That freaking rocks. God owns me. | | |
