Clarity

I haven't written anything in a while. Partly because I have been lazy and also because life has been throwing me quite a few curve balls. Needless to say, I don't think I've been tested as much as I have been this last month. But, with the hardships, there is always good, and I have experienced so much of that while I have been home.

I have spent time with some of my bestest friends, babysat my hilarious 7-year old brother lots, lost 16 lbs, stop biting my nails, saved money for school, bonded with my family, and tried lots of new yummy sweets. Overall, it has been swell! 

I will be going back to college this week which is always bittersweet. I love being home, but I also love school and the freedom I feel while I am there. I love being able to learn new things and experience change. Change is hard for me, but I feel good that it molds and shapes me to become better. 

I know people who are reaching their fifties sometimes go through "mid-life crises." I feel like I've been going through one of these the last two years. Confusion and a lot of things has been in the forefront of my life. Maybe it's just the time-period I am currently in (i.e. poor, confused college student ha). But it's been a little challenging to put my finger quite on what direction I have wanted to take career wise.

But something really amazing happened this past week, especially today. I received some clarity that has made all the difference. 

I don't want to say exactly what this "amazing" thing is yet. But lets just say it has gotten me pretty dang excited about whats to come.

I have learned that life is a journey and you have to take a deep breath and just trust in God's plan for your life. That means sometimes, you have to jump before you can see where you are going. Because if you jump with God--His loving arms will be sure to catch you and lead you towards the light!

So basically, with God, all things are possible. Trust him-He is the Man.

Happy Sunday.
