new beginnings.

hola readers. as i sit on my new couch at my new apartment [which is only temporary until i move into my REAL new apartment at the end of july, i know, way confusing] i am so excited to blog. i am having a BLAST decorating for my room, however, i need money before i can do anything else. hah! so, i will bask in the awesomeness of the little trinkets i have found here&there until i can have a final product [which i will then probably keep building upon] & the sweet zebra print shower curtain i got! :] ahhh! it's a fave. my dog is not with me right now :( but, she will be soon! really excited about that. even though i should be unpacking some things because my mother is coming tomorrow, blogging & spending some time with the Lord is way more important & so THAT is what i am going to do!

so, all that to say, i'm really sorry that i haven't posted lately. it's not because i didn't want to. it's simply because i was not really around a computer with time to blog. i just recently went to my best friends wedding out in arkansas. it was so simple & quaint, but BLAZING HOT. but, she was happy & that's all that matters! driving was great. even though it took 28 hours round trip it was still completely worth it. there is so much natural beauty that we take for granted & it was a great time to just think. sometimes that gets me in trouble though! & the past 2 weddings i have been to have been great. it's so great to see how the Lord molds relationships & how stories of relationships can be so unique & lovely.

however, i think i have decided what studies i will be doing. i am going to do both the 1 John study & the Fruit of the Spirit study. the Lord has been so evident in my life these past few months in many different ways that maybe i didn't see when i was actually living those days out. the Lord has also been gracious in that He accepts me even though i may have struggled to see that then & even though i have many flaws [which i'm completely okay with that because the Lord is showing me that i'm beautiful because of His LOVE for me]. i know i will never be perfect, however, i will strive to be like Jesus every day & love others as Jesus loves us. i think that is why i am so excited about all of these new beginnings. the fact that our life constantly changes & we have to be ready to roll with the punches every day, but the Lord is by our side every step of the way. i can't wait to start a job [which the job search is going well, should have one by next week!] & really pour God's love out into the lives of my co-workers & customers.

so, here i go. about to do the intro to my study. i'm ready to completely live beyond myself & live fully for Christ. & i know this study is gonna rockkkk. so, thanks Jesus for making all these things possible in my life. i'm ready for you to continue to take the reigns of my life, & only you know where i'll end up here.

for i know, i'm coming home soon.
