Oh man, how things have changed.
Can i please just start out by saying that God is amazing and i am so thankful for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that is in my life. i really dont know where i would be without the encouragement and prayers i have received from so many awesome people.
its been a rough road being back in costa mesa but such a learning experience and so many great things have come out of it. for starters, I have found a new healthy hobby to do with my time. Line dancing has been such an answer to so many prayers. as some of you may know, my old habits were starting to creep back into my life. i found myself at the bar one too many times with one too many drinks in me. Fortunately, i never went completely back to the dark side. i always had my head on my shoulders and wanted to fix it before it took over my life again. Although line dancing does occur at a "country bar" i have no desire to drink when im there. i have learned quite a few line dances and get a great workout from it. my best friends and i go at least 3-5 times a week. it has been such a great positive influence on my life. and i look forward to great experiences and relationships that come out of it in the future.
i finally have an almost full time job. i love working for 24 hour fitness in the kids club but the only unfortunate thing is that it only pays minimum wage. luckily loving my job is more important than money to me but at the end of the month when rent is due money is kind of important. and the past few months have been difficult but i am lucky enough to have an amazing roommate that has been such a blessing and encouraging friend the past few months. i am determined to make it work and stick to this lease. no running away or giving up!
i am looking forward to visiting all of my amazing friends in chico soon!! i miss their beautiful, encouraging, and positive energies in my life. i wish i would have stayed in touch with more of them but i know when i visit it will be like i never left. :] love you girls! see you in october!!
i think i am ready to try planting my feet in a home church. ive done a lot of self growth and soul searching and realized that its all for nothing if im not seeking God's will in my life. i really want to start going to a bible study and try to fill my life with loving and encouraging people. Life is so much better when people arent being hateful, selfish, and judgmental. i need friends that want the best for me and encourage positive light on my life. i know i already have some amazing people in my life but imagine how awesome life would be with even more!!
im really missing my siblings the past couple of weeks. i visited my sister, Natalie, recently and she was so encouraging. really being honest with me and encouraging me to continue making the right choices in life. my brother and sister in law's recent move to Arkansas has been tough on me as well. i miss them so much everyday. i dont think i have ever missed my older brother, Kyle, before in my life! but now i really miss him. he is always so entertaining and refreshing. and my sister in law Holly is always so encouraging and always wants the best for me. my little brother Jonathan has been away at a training boot camp for the Army. he will be home soon and i cant wait to see him!
so this post is just a lot of random thoughts and not very structured but thats kind of how i feel right now. just a lot of ideas and feelings going in and out of my brain and i needed a place to put them. im hoping to continue blogging as the summer comes to an end and the holidays start to approach us.
there are just so many great things happening in my life and i cant wait to share it all with you!
