Sweet Nectar!!

Lisa bought me my first Dr Pepper in like 7 months. I am thoroughly overjoyed at the moment. 'Tis the season to be jolly! I thought I'd share my experience through photographs so everyone can experience the joy I felt at my first sip...


Mmm.... :)

Just something..

Timing is everything.

I always believed it, but I guess I am really starting to get to know it.

Its been a long time since I've written anything on here, mostly because there doesn't seem to be anything happening in my life that is worth writing about. The thoughts that go through my head are even hard for me to figure out sometimes....but here I am. Again.

In the past 6 months alone, I've been thrown numerous curve balls that have allow me to learn patience, gratitude, and the ability to remain positive and optimistic. Even when the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't seem to exist.

For all who know me, the past few months have been very... "up in the air". My next year doesn't have too much direction... and it's literally been making me go crazy. The fact that it still is doesn't put my mind at ease. Even though I'm not the most organized person, I love to have a plan- knowing what my next step will be. Since September, my life has had much unnecessary stress, and especially so because I am a "chronic worrier". I can't help it, I've tried. The unknowns worry me, which is normal. But- when they consume me, that is ridiculous!!

This is where faith shines brightly. Where I can make all those big worries, unknowns and problems seem small. Where I can hope for the best, and trust in He who is ultimately in charge. Where I can continue to grow, and improve, despite the fact that I am literally taking those next steps without seeing the whole staircase.

I've got lots of goals I want to accomplish this coming year. I have only been running them through my head. Once I sit down and really commit myself to them, I will share some of it so I can be held accountable! Even though I do not know what the future holds in store for me, and you can't trust a Magic 8 ball, I know the Lord will guide me through whatever comes my way. With any decision I make, He'll be there. Oh how reassuring that is!!

Oh, and I am really excited for Christmas. So much!! It's gonna be different than most, but very special too. Plus, I get to talk to my amazingly awesome friend!! So...yeah. Good stuff.

Just some thoughts.
Until next time...
