I discovered these two on vine, which led me to their YouTube, which led me to purchasing their album on iTunes. They are adorable and watching them gives me the feels! While the video is a tad bit cheesy, this song has been on my favorites list lately. Just thought that I would share in it's loveliness.

So I felt the need to catch up the world on life as I know it. I haven't blogged to awful much lately and my world has shifted a lot! So, of course I began a new (newish) relationship with my beau J! (Beau is my new favorite word.) I mean, as if the rest of the general public didn't see that one coming. I feel like everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was like "FINALLY!". Yeah.. Yeah.. good things take time! Haha. I can say I am very blessed that the Lord gifted me with the opportunity to grow with a kind, gentle, Christian, and respectful man. I look forward to seeing where the rest of our lovely shenanigans take us. ;).
On top of that I was also blessed with a FABULOUS new car. Well, new to me. It is a 2012 Malibu. Almost identical to the one I totaled last year. The PTSD around that has been fun to overcome. Regardless, it has heat, and air conditioning and a rear-view mirror. It is absolutely wonderful! I am so so so very thankful! Work has been... work. I've gotten back to a place where I am needing lots of isolated time for myself. Burn out is no joke people. It's also really unfortunate for the people around me who deserve my time and attention. But, it's basically unavoidable. Thankfully I have a nice stay-cation coming up in March so that will be a great time to decompress and bring my feet back down to planet earth. Aside, from the burn out, work is a blessing. I am very lucky to be so young and hold the position that I do. I get to supervise people who (some of which) are twice my age and have been at the agency 5 times as long. That's a pretty legit accomplishment that I don't take for what it is worth enough. All in all I'm blessed. I will be posting about a ton of new books I've ordered as soon as I start to read them. Peace on the streets loves! Hot water eats at my skin as I attempt to scrub away the scent of marijuana and Marlboro lights. The smell hits me like a painful memory. Angry. Guilty. Hopeless. Lost. That's where it always takes me. But I always come back. Addicted to trying to save you from your own addiction. And I can't figure out if this tightness in my chest is my lungs gasping for breath or just the screams of a breaking soul. So as strands of hair fall through flowing water and steam rolls off of red raw skin; I digress that I just can't afford to feel today. So I bottle it up. I lock it deep inside the depths. Only to save it for another day. There's always another day... As per usual I stole a blog idea from J. Had a ton of photos from The Roadshow that I thought I would share a few. The videos at the bottom aren't the greatest quality, but they are legit none the less. Enjoy! Legitimate conversation about what sex truly is from a Christian view. Just some late night reflections. More for myself than anyone else. I apologize if you were hoping for an interesting post. Today I got to share in a beautiful moment. The one year birthday of the son of one of my greatest friends. A birthday that many of us were unsure if we would get to see. Praise God for mercy. As I looked around this joyous event though, I couldn't help but become discouraged. I was in a room surrounded by the very people I had grown up with. I watched as they kissed their husbands and wives. Or showed off their newly shining engagement rings. I smiled as they held each others newborns and rubbed their pregnant bellies. And as I walked out of that event I couldn't help but question... God, when will it be my time? I am content in my singleness 9 days out of 10. Until days like today where I am reminded of the beauty of marriage and a family.I just couldn't help but feel discouraged. When I imagined rounding the final turn of 23 as a young girl, I imagined it far differently.
As the day wore on, I forgot about my troubles. I allowed myself to get caught up in the daily grind and just forget. And while I was sitting in my own thoughts my very greatest friend sent me a message that she had no clue would profoundly effect me. She said... "Jesus is really doing work in you." and that's when I broke. I cried my eyes out. (Like the emotional baby I am). I am so quick to be selfish. I am so quick to forget that God is in control. It was a beautiful reminder that my plans are minuscule to an almighty God. It was comforting to know that someone on the outside could see God working in my life, even when I couldn't. My encouragement for you... Hold fast. God has a plan. |
