Leap of Faith

Things are going exceptionally well for me. I think God has been speaking to me lately, and it's always good to hear from God after a long bout of silence. Things are moving forward for me (finally!), and I feel like I am finally getting everything where it needs to be. It's scary bc I'm having to face some challenges and fears, but I think that's what life is all about sometimes, esp. if you ever want to get where you want to get. I was living pretty stagnant for awhile, getting a little too comfortable with mediocrity, but I'm back on the path of accomplishing my goals and going after my dreams. I think I just settled and gave up for awhile bc I just didn't see a way, but after taking one giant leap of faith, I realized that's what it takes to get anywhere in life. One giant leap of faith. 

So I will be leaving for Austin in a month, and I am beyond excited, but also a little scared and sad, but I have enough faith in God at this point to get me there. I just hope I can keep that faith when I get there. I know it's going to be a challenge, but I believe God will take care of me in times of trouble. Wooh!  Looking back on some of these blogs, I realized this is the move I needed to take that whole time. Looking back, I can see where my perspective went all wrong. And man, was I losing it, but it's so good to have a positive outlook again. 

I was waiting for God to make a move in my life, while God was waiting for me to make a move in my life. Wow, how I had it backwards. I've also learned that sometimes your friends will not be there behind you 100%, and you just have to go on without them bc you have God's support, and His is the only one you need in the end- the only one you need to go on.  I know God is backing me up 100%, and I know who God wants me to be, and I want to be that person. So I am moving on... and moving forward with my life... one giant leap of faith at a time.  Let's see where it takes me.

Update on Life

I just wanted to update because I'm very happy with my life right now. I've been talking to someone new- a crush from high school- and we recently reconnected, and we are finding that we have sooooo much in common, it's not even funny. He might move to Australia with his job, but I am still enjoying this bit of time we have to talk and get to know each other. I can't believe this is my 3rd relationship this year- I usually have 1 relationship per year, and I give myself a long break in between. But I feel that God has lifted the barrier of me not dating anyone, and now He is giving me free reign. So far, so good because I have been dating MUCH better men than my usual. So I am happy because we enjoy all the same hobbies, the same music, the same everything! We do have some differences on religion (he's a Christian, but he doesn't celebrate Christmas), so that may be the make it or break it deal. But in the meantime, I am very happy getting to know him. In ot...

Looking Back

It seems so much longer than a year since I moved to Austin. I have changed so much that it seems I have aged five years, both in maturity and in weariness. I first came here open and vulnerable to new experiences, ready to take on the city and show them what I had, though I wasn't quite brave enough to really do that. I had a host of dependencies that I was carrying with me that wouldn't let me walk on my own. I had hangups that I was still harboring in my heart and false perceptions that would eventually carry themselves to the surface, only to be scrutinized, condemned, and then changed. For the first few months, I was very hurt, confused, and disappointed at what I would find in my new life. I longed to go back to my old life, to find my dreams again, to grasp tightly to those things I so dearly depended on for my security. It wouldn't be long before I would be wiped clean of everything I clinged to and set on a different path that I was not familiar with. I had to beco...

Wholeness

Happy New Year everybody!!! I hope you are all ready to maintain your resolutions this year because I know I am. I have a heavy plate to fill, so there's no time to waste in past regrets and what not. I have a desk calendar that has daily prayers for emotional wholeness, and January 1st really touched on something that I struggle with and want to overcome this year, and I will share with you what it said: God's purpose for our lives is to make us whole- which is the way He created us to be- and then to work through us for His glory as we surrender our lives to Him. Emotional wholeness means living without negative emotions and having peace about who you are and where your life is headed. When we pray to God, we are spending time in His presence. And in His presence is where we find healing from the pain of our past. Prayer draws us closer to God, where we can get a vision for our future and better understand our purpose. The theme that sticks out to me here is wholeness, and th...
