Just Give It Time

I have a few random thoughts running through my head and they need to get out!

First of all, I got another job and really like it! I've been reminded of a few things from the family i'm working with... Life is too short and precious to worry so much about the boring, little, mundane things. Live life to the fullest, make the most of everything and have as much fun as you possibly can! Pay attention to the little things, the little accomplishments, the little smiles, they get overlooked way too much. You can choose to be bummed out about the cards you've been dealt or you can choose to embrace your cards and see them as a blessing.

Second of all, i'm pretty sure i have the best and goofiest friends ever! Due to lots of wishful thinking, several of them have expressed to me that I should marry one of their family members so I can be apart of their family. Yes, I think this is a grand idea.. I love all of my friends dearly, and how fun would family gatherings be?! However, I have no idea what God wants to do with me in that area! I'm content with being single but marriage is definitely a desire of mine. My eye has been caught by a guy, however, due to distance and crazy schedules it doesn't seem to be going anywhere (at least from my point of view). I've expressed my thoughts to God and placed the situation in His hands, if He wants something to happen, it will happen and if not.. well then there's other people out their for us. I just wish I had some kind of direction, i'm not a fan of standing at the crossroad. Ya know? I think i'll just stick with all my real family and adopted moms for a while.

Third of all, I just need to vent a whine for a second. I'm in a situation and I know what i've got to do, however, it's not what I want to do, and it hasn't panned out the way i would have liked it to.. i just need to lay down my pride and sacrifice things for others. God has and will continue to provide for all my needs. but it's so hard for me to be a part of this situation with a genuine, joyful heart. i'm pretty sure i've whined and complained about it a few times a week for a while now and I have to stop! NOW! I'm not going to let satan use this as a stronghold in my life anymore. I will be going by the golden rule and avoiding a few topics of conversation for a while. *I'm so happy for my friends and the life God has for them! :) Really, they're awesome people!

~This afternoon on the way home from work, I was listening to "Just Give it Time" by Jon McLaughlin, it was like God was right next to me with his arm around me singing the chorus to me :) so sweet and comforting! TRULY AMAZING!
*Check out Jon, he has some good tunes!
