Oh Baby Sister...

Well, its official. My "little" sister is a legit college student. She packed up her things and moved to North Carolina where she is at Gardner Webb University. I almost don't know what to do because she isn't here! Although I am in a funk and miss her, I am extremely proud of her and all of her accomplishments. I wish her luck and send her on with my prayers pushing her along!

Comfortable?

It's just when life seems comfortable and manageable that God tends to show up and cancel your dinner plans for you.

At my church, TrueNorth, our pastor has been challenging us not to stay comfortable in our walk for too long. This can also be turned around and looked at from another perspective. God is saying to us, don't get comfortable because I have bigger and better plans for you. I have recently discovered that this is in fact truth. When you pray, "God, disturb me. Disturb my life." it is looking like God simply says, "Ok sure." I am learning that for God to build our lives up, they must first be torn apart.

I am at an age in my life where many decisions will be made. Some for good, some for "not so good." Every time I turn around something in my life is changing. Whether it be my school, major, job, house, or pants size, nothing stays the same for long. This may sound somewhat obvious, of course things change. Seasons come and go, time moves by as quickly as it did the day before, there is always change. So why is it that when we change things we aren't used to changing we feel so torn apart?

In the end change will have always happened, whether it have been for better or worse. But how is a decision supposed to be made when all paths look great? What is to tell you that the prize is actually behind a different door than the one you are thinking of choosing? If all of the doors are God-given, does it matter which path is taken? Is the decision left up to us? Why do we have to change? What would happen if we decide not to walk through any of the open doors?

My thoughts escape me...

No Jokin...Growing Up Really IS Hard...

So I obviously never blog, and I have a few good reasons. One, not sure if anybody even reads it, but does that matter? Oh well.....two, I rarely find time to blog. School, 3 jobs, and a life makes it a little tough. Three, I don't like people to feel sorry for me, so if I write about a problem or something I don't want any sorry people out there!

So this past December me and a buddy got a bright idea of starting a business. Sweet! I thought, a little extra money wouldn't hurt and there is no way it would become a big deal any time soon. Well, guess what? Have you ever thrown a match in a pile of wood soaked in lighter fluid? Thats what the business has turned into. A BIG burning pile of wood, and all of the people who inhabit the csra just keep adding more and more wood. So you could be thinking...what is the problem?! Well, its not a problem that we are doing well, in fact I am SUPER happy that we are doing good. But I am not convinced with myself that I want to own a thriving business at the age of 20. Is that too young? If I didn't really enjoy what I do and how I help people I definately would not be here. Don't get me wrong I am thankful for every person who walks through our office door. But seriously? THIS much in a month and one week? I guess I just wasn't ready for this much so fast. I was honestly expecting 5 or 6 clients, just enough to get by. Oh well, I'm buckled up...time for take off!

Its not just a business that is bringing the reality of growing up...there is a girl. Of course just like any good movie there is ALWAYS a girl. But this girl, can't put my finger on exactly why, is incredible! I really don't think I could ask for more in a young lady. Maybe that she didn't live an hour away...but that's ok! The weirdest thing about her is that I, yes me, chased after her. I don't mean to sound stuck up or anything but I dont usually chase a girl. Thats just not me. But I literally tried to get her to go out with me for almost 6 months. Then when she finally said yes...I was terrified to go out with her! We have been together a grand total of almost 5 months and I am loving every second of it. The best part is that God is in the center of the relationship and I love that. We have something special, I'm not gonna use any words that start with "M" around her yet...but who knows? I am very excited to see our future...

So yeah...I guess I am just venting...the workout just wasn't enough tonight to releive all of the stress. Hope everyone in blogger world is doing great!
