Loving Life

I feel like my blog is dead. I haven't posted in months and there really isn't a good excuse. I have had nothing BUT time on my hands since the end of last semester (December 16th) which is also the day I quit working at Kohl's. (Best decision I made in a while- retail might be more enjoyable if it was a smaller store). Life has kind of just been floating along at an enjoyable slow pace- something that was definitely needed after my whirlwind fall season. Working 40+ hours a week and doing school on top of that is pretty stressful, but you know, I feel like it was exactly what I needed to cross the bridge from high school to becoming a young adult. Sheesh! I'm going to be 19 on the 29th! lol

I used to regret not going to a University for my freshman year of college, but honestly, I can see when God has been directing me the way he is. Well, let me correct that... I have a better idea of why. The vision still isn't clear, but He is letting me know just enough to keep my curiosity satisfied :) He is showing me that he is still here - and is making me more aware of His desire to use me for his purposes and that he loves me abundantly. He is my first love, and I can say that with a whole heart and no reservations. Through the little things he has made me love and trust Him with my life. There is no need to worry about the future, because He already knows what is in store for it. If we spend our few short years here on Earth worrying all the time, we aren't going to enjoy life to it's fullest!

I pray, friends, that you know this amazing feeling of freedom through the love that Jesus shows for us.

P.S.
My new years resolution is to try and post more than once every 3 months :)

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

NO. I did not paint my shirt!

Ok, so I bought this shirt at American Eagle this past week, and thought it was cute. It's all white, with an iris on the front of it. I love it. It fits surprisingly well, but the only problem... people keep asking me if I painted the iris myself. My dad asked if I made my shirt. Hannah asked if I drew on it with markers. ITS ARTISTIC! But I didn't do it!!! I didn't draw the Eagle emblem either. Oh my gosh.... I am so annoyed! So the count down to Disney World begins... officially 6 days until we leave! As the trip ooches closer, our excitement becomes more uncontainable. I'm dying to go on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and the Tower of Terror. Because it will be two of the littles' birthdays while we are there, we'll get to go to breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie... i think. We'll also get to see our friends the Krayzels!!! I am so excited about it. It will be great fun The Official Countdown... 6 days

2.0.1.2.

When the ball dropped at midnight this year it was different. 2012. A new year, a fresh start. New Years has always been magical to me for some reason. I guess it's just the thought that maybe this year will be better than the last - it's a time for reflection and assessment. I do it without even realizing it. It's like a much needed restart after getting through the busyness of the holidays; all the visiting, shopping, cooking, preparing. For some it's exciting, for others its a yearly struggle. New Years is like pressing the fast forward button to a new chapter. Life comes to a halt suddenly, we flip the page, and keep moving. It's such a lovely feeling. Everyone talks about resolutions. "In 2012 I will [_____]." Get healthy, go to church, blog every day, write in my journal, read my Bible daily. Fill in the blank with whatever your resolution may be. But after the first two weeks burnout happens and we revert back to how we were at the end...
