| six months later and here i am. can't believe it has been that long. been doing a lot of going through things and throwing things away as of late, down sizing if you will. not sure why...just feel as if i have way too much stuff. it is a freeing thing and makes you feel good. carly was right after all. i went on a run today. there was no one in sight. thank you nathan edwin for providing the tunes to make it a joyful juant. i felt as if i owned the road. it was fabulous. the only breathing thing i came in contact with was the gigantic yellowjacket that slammed into my forehead. haha. two of my best friends are married and i could not be happier. 8-18-07 will forever be one of the most amazing days of my life. thank you carly and dave. i love you both. i believe that is all i have. hope everyone is well. keep on keepin on just like the brady bunch. love love love. | | |
| you have no idea how much i love this month. so many fantastic things/events are happening. first of all, i know this is really random, but i have to confess that i believe i am addicted to peanut butter...oh my goodness. now that i have that out of the way, i will relay to you all, if anyone reads this anymore, why this month is so great.
Jillian flys home in 8 days...March 17!!!! ahhhh. she has been gone so long. 6 months-3 in England and 3 in Africa. if you ask me, way way too long. it will be phenomenal to see her face again. im sick of missing her.
Now that we are talking about people returning...Hill got back at the end of February! It has been great to have her back for sure!!
Koola gets back sometime today i believe from being gone for her spring break!!!
Last weekend, Carly, Dave, Joe, and I spent a good portion of our Saturday at "Lunkers"...we ate in the restaurant that people travel "all across the world to visit"-we all ate something different. Joe had ostrich, Dave had buffalo, Carly had fish, and I had chicken. it was quite the experience let me tell you!
March Madness BEGINS! March 11th is the draw...whooo hooo!
My last day at work is March 15...it was the best decision, even though i wish it didn't have to come.
March 19 we are having a Munchies Reunion for Jillian...that should be fun.
The weekend of the 23rd,24th,25th Jillian and I are heading to Mishawaka for a superb weekend and a welcome home party of sorts!
March 29th is my padres birthday!!! I love him!
And then.........March 31st Koola and I will fly to my favorite place in the USA, HILTON HEAD, SOUTH CAROLINA! i haven't been able to go for the past 5 years. my wonderful family and i have been going there since i was born practically. it will be breath-taking to be there again!
I believe that is all ladies and gentlemen...hope you are all doing super well oh and it is 50 degrees outside!!! it is finally beginning to warm up!! if it didnt start soon i was probably going to turn into an icicle ugh. | | |
| you see here is the thing...god knows what we need when we need it. so often times i feel as if we go throughout our daily lives wondering what in the world we are suppossed to be doing on this earth. why do we focus so much on our circumstances and the "what ifs"? god sees beyond your circumstances. perhaps you are in the midst of a trial right now and you don't know what to do. god has a word for you. he has plans for you, and they are good plans. god looks beyond your circumstances, no matter what trial you are facing. our minds are overwhelmed with thoughts we try so hard to figure out, when in reality if we would just let go and let god...things would not feel so confusing. lately ive been unbelievably encouraged and i can't thank god enough for how he is working in my life. god does not change. he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. god has a word for you today..."for I know the plans I have for you...plans to give you a future and a hope." this past week has been an amazing week. so many times i was shown that god has his hand in everything. i was struggling a lot with wondering what the future was going to bring. i was down and frustrated because i just felt like i needed to have my life all put together. and because i didn't know what god was telling me, my life felt out of control. what i failed to see was that he knows the big picture. our thoughts and circumstances are just a little miniature speck of the painting god has created of our lives. everyone has issues or things to deal with on a daily basis. the wonderful truth in that is we dont have to go through things alone. we are never alone. that is the biggest thing that god has been teaching me so much lately. he has been using people in my life to let me know how loved i truly am. my family has been an amazing support with their encouraging words...they are incredible. god has also been using my friends to serve as an encouragement...giving opportunities to sit down to share with one another in great coversation. simply amazing. love is a wonderful thing. everyone wants to be loved. people have always been of great importance to me and ive always had a desire to be surrounded by people. the greatest truth in all of this world is that yes people are amazing and god desires us to have connection and relationship with other people, but if everyone around us were to vanish...we would be okay. sure, we would miss them, but god is all we need. our happiness shouldn't depend on the people in our life god has blessed us with. he wants all of us. i had a long talk with a friend about all of this, and she shared with me a wonderful analogy that i will remember the rest of my days. she said that god fills our cup and everyone else overflows it. that is just amazing. thank you. the feelings ive been having feel fantastic. a bit overwhelming at first, but i want to shout to the entire world how fabulous our god is. may you be content knowing you are a child of god. let his presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. it is there for each and every one of us. it is the greatest feeling. you will feel as if a battle has been won. your heart will feel as if it can't stop smiling. excitement will filter through you. | | |
