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.

Wow.... my resume needed some major tweaking. I have spent the majority of this morning refreshing my resume, looking into unemployment, and contacting my temp agency.

I have a restless spirit. It longs to circumnavigate the globe. For the past few months/years, I've been suppressing this spirit, trying to fit in with "normal life," trying to "settle down" because that's what you're supposed to do at my age. But the restlessness doesn't go away. I believe it is a gift from God. A restless spirit like mine is meant to travel, discover, explore. The comforts of our culture leave one feeling ironically dissatisfied, bored, and listless. I feel less than alive when I'm trying to force myself to fit behind a desk I was never made to sit behind. I only wonder how long this pseudo-conforming will last before this spirit breaks out of me and leaves everything behind. She's done it before, and she can do it again. It's only a matter of when , not if.
