I was just reading through some of my older post from this past year and reflecting on the journey I have been on.
It was right around this time last year that I decided to take on a new job and simplify my life. It was so refreshing to read my roller coaster of emotions through out the year. I had some really low moments, as well as some pretty fantastic ones!
As I was read through, I noticed there are some constant themes throughout my life.
One being I am a child of God and that means He controls my life. When I was in way over my head, He had a plan for my life that was beyond my comprehension. I feel so thankful for the job I have now. I didn't earn any of it, it's truly a gift and I want to carry that feeling of thankfulness with me everyday.
I crave to live simply. You can't tell from my closet, but I do understand that less is more. This whole moving thing has got me asking a lot of questions. All I can do is pray that God's will trumps mine and if we are to move, he will provide. I stopped worrying about that and feel much better.
I love my family. I have so many pictures of all the special times we have had visiting home. I honestly feel that many of those opportunities wouldn't have been possible if we didn't live in Raleigh. I know, how can we have more quality time living 600 miles away? Well, really, I think everyone makes it such a priority to pack the trips with nothing but quality time, so you get enough lovin' to last you a few months. I can't wait to go home in July, we haven't been to C-town since Christmas, that's the longest I've ever gone. Luckily, life here is crazy busy so the time goes by fast.
The last thing I noticed about my blog, it's a reflection of not only my life but a glimpse into heart and soul. It's deeper things then surface level thoughts. I want to blog more, so my prayer is that my pride, fear and selfishness doesn't get in the way from encouraging you with my struggles, dreams, joys and questions.
Peace and love!
