Times... They are a Changin'! (post from 11/13/13)

LIFE IS CRAZY.  Crazy.  For real.  and – by life I mean everything.  and – by everything I mean the LORD.  This past year I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stressed about finding roommates to replace roommates that left suddenly.  I’ve stressed about having to move out.  I’ve LONGED to have my own place and my own space.  and – it seems like everything is finally working out.  A friend approached me last week to ask if I’d think about living in his house when he moves away for a job.  He would give me an amazing deal on rent and such.  PLUS – I’ll have my own house…basically.  He’ll stay there when he’s in town.  So – I thought about it and talked to my current roomies and decided to take the plunge.  I’m not excited about being 30 minutes from my job but I’ll be closer to my family and I think they really want me to be closer.  So – that’ll be really nice.  Nice and a little insane.  Ha.  I.  CAN’T.  WAIT.  It’s gonna be awesome.

Church.  Well… I haven’t been to church for a few weeks now.  I was sick one week and behind on school another.  So – it’s been difficult.  Then – with this whole moving thing….that seems to kind of change the search a LOT.  I want to be close to my church home.  It’d be super easy to go back to Bethel.  and – I may try that for a while.  It’s just going to be super weird.  Maybe I’m wrong.  I mean, it is home.  I just wasn’t expecting to be back there just yet.  But – I wasn’t expecting to leave either so… I’m just going to trust that the Lord will guide my steps.  and – I believe I’ll end up at the place He wants me to be.  I always have.  He’s so faithful.

Friendships.  I, honestly, can’t complain.  Things are beautiful.  and – the ones that aren’t… aren’t supposed to be.  I have never been more satisfied in this area…and I think it’s because I’m not holding on as tightly as I have in the past.  It makes things easier.  It makes life easier.  It makes friendships BETTER.  I’m not saying I’ve got it quite right just yet… and I may never get it perfect but… right now…. life is good.  I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Health.  On Sunday I randomly went to the store and came home with healthy stuff.  WHAT.  YES.  I was like, “Okay.  Let’s do this.  Greek yogurt?  Check.  Soup?  Check.  Apples?  Check.”  So – I have stuff for healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks ALL WEEK.  I just didn’t think about dinner.  Ha.  Maybe I should go back to the store.  ;)

Well… that’s all I have for now.  Happy Tuesday to you….whoever you might be.
