Oh what a life....

So...I started this blog to right my feelings down. I did a good job in the beginning of posting, then somehow I can to a wall. I just don't feel that I have much to say and honestly, in my personal life, I don't have much going on.

For the past couple of years that had been the case. My life is "boring". Not sleepy boring, and luckily there hasn't been any "turn your life upside down" events happen. It's just been an up and down flow of same ol same ol. I know that I really shouldn't complain. All in all, I am very lucky to have the life I do. I just want a little spice added, ya know?

The past couple of weeks I have felt at peace. I'm in a steady routine of waking up at the crack of dawn (4:45 am, people), getting ready for work, commuting an hour, working the same job, commuting an hour and a half home, eating, playing with my dogs, going to bed, and starting over. Sounds mundane, but lately I've felt ok with it all. I am officially in up to my eyes with my new job, and am surprisingly loving it. NEVER would I have thought I would be in the law field when I love teaching so very much. I do hope to one day give teaching another go, but as of right now, I really feel God is keeping me where I'm at.

I've worked really hard on accepting where God has put me in life up to now. I still have a few days where I will start having doubt and be upset that I am not at the place where I thought I would be, but I have to remind myself that everything truly happens for a reason. This verse is taped to my computer, and I read it constantly and remind myself that He really has a plan for me and if I continue to love and grow through Him, He will continue to point me in the path I was made to have.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:5-6

I have found a new favorite song that I crank up in the car when I'm feeling a little down. If you haven't heard it, listen, and I'm sure it will make your day brighter.

Randy Houser- In God's Time

It's really amazing, and gives me an all over feeling of peace and calmness that I need.



This past month the south has been hit with storm after storm and it breaks my heart to hear of all of the people that have lost their lives during these terrifying tornadoes. We have been fortunate enough to have been spared in my immediate area of Georgia, but just an hour or so north was hit pretty hard a month ago. It brings things back into perpective quickly when you hear of all of those stories. Please keep everyone in your prayers during these difficult times. I know that they are all in a much better place, but it is hard for the loved ones left behind.

Also, my best friend's grandfather recently passed. In a way it was unexpected and again we all know that he is living with God and is no longer in pain, but his loved ones are left hurting and sad, please pray for this family as they lean on each other during this time.

This seem like a random post, but it's what's been on my mind lately. I hope that everyone has had a great week and have a fun and safe Memorial weekend.
