Supernatural Year

Something got me last night. I don't know why, but it just did. I was listening to Joel Osteen's podcast and he said something that got to me. He said that despite what circumstances may look like right now, you can have a supernatural year. Now this is nothing new for me to hear, but I guess this time it hit me more so because I have been thinking about our economy and all the layoffs and thinking about all the people who are out of work.(To much news can really get to you!) I've been seeking out what God wants for my life and how he wants to fulfil it. There are things that I have in me now that a couple of years ago I don't think I could handle. Things that took time and effort to remember. Now here I am 29 years old and thinking about things that I wanted so bad when I was only like 20 or 21 and thinking "I'm so glad God didn't give me that back then!" Things like my job and where I am spiritually. I mean, it's awesome that I can be a woman of faith and still recognize when I've screwed up and not think that I'm a failure because I did! Other things like thinking on the line of marriage. I think I'm closer to being ready now, but when I was younger I REALLY wanted to get married and it was something that really consumed me. I wasn't content and thinking that something was wrong with me. Now I look back and think about how I'm glad I didn't get married then. Think about how me as an individual would not be where I am today. I'm content with being single in this moment. I know that there is someone out there for me and that we will meet in God's timing. Do I think about it? Yea I do, but I'm okay with how it is at this very moment. In my mind, I think that this is how I'm going to get a supernatural year is being content in who I am, changing the things that need to be changed, and being blessed even in the midst of bad circumstances. I truly believe that!

Starting a new blog

So here it is, I am starting a new blog for myself personally and for anyone out there that may be going through something similar to what I've gone through. Let me talk about myself for a little bit. I was born and raised in a two parent home, I've never been into drugs or been a bad girl (although when I was 12 I had a bout with a group of friends that were not that great). When I was 8 we moved to the town I live in now and I was teased in school those first years. Was this tramatic? Absolutly! I know that this can be something that is embarassing to talk about, but I think that these experiences have made me who I am today and made me a strong person in my own right. It's also made me think about how things hve been and just think, wow, God took me out of that! So if you can't tell, I can go off on some tangents in my explanations. I am 29 years old and I love telling people how loved they are. It's really cool to think about this because it is Febuary 14, Valentines Day and I thought about that. I love to read everyone else's blogs because it sometimes inspires me in my own stuff. Everytime I think about what the Lord has done in me or in others, I just want to shout because it is a testement in my mind how great he is! I think that I've got a great start to this blog and I know it's kind of gotta a little long for the first one, but I just think it was supposed to be something for me to do. Thank you for reading this if you are!
