Holding...

I have to thank so many of you. So many of you let me know that I was in your thoughts and prayers today and believe me, I felt it. SO THANK YOU!

Today was a much better day. But I woke up today deciding that it was going to me. I woke up and decided that I'd change my perspective on the things that happened yesterday and that I was going in to today with a different attitude than I had yesterday. I was a little unsure if this was going to work...considering my run in with a centipede this morning (if you know me, you know that those things SCARE ME TO DEATH! I'd rather be near a spider!!)...but it ended up being a pretty good day.

I know my perspective had to change. I know I had to move on past the hurt. And I'll be the first to admit that there is still some hurt but I feel differently. God gave me a peace today...an understanding really. But it's not like God did anything differently. That was there before...I just wasn't really holding on to it. And yesterday, I wasn't listening to it at all! (I can be stubborn from time to time.)

God has a plan for me (my favorite verse Jeremiah 29:11). He has a plan for me that I can't even imagine. I still have some things that are really on my mind....things that I can't seem to really get my head around...but God has something for me. No, God has somethingS for me!!! And He knows the desires of my heart. But He also knows what I'm ready for. So I just need to sit back and relax (harder to do than say most times).

There were times today when certain things came up, and I felt hurt all over again. But I know I had to take a few seconds and change how I felt...change my thoughts on it. Once I did that, I was ok. I had to tune some things out. And I imagine I was a little more quiet than I normally am (I am a talker). But I had to do what I needed to do to keep my eyes where they belonged...God's plan for me.

Like I said, I'm still hurt. I'm not "over it." And I imagine that from time to time, it's going to creep itself back up. And I'm going to need a little reminding from friends...well, probably some friends yelling at me...to get my head on straight.
It felt good today. God gave me a peace...and an understanding. And that understanding as always been there...I just haven't always taken it to heart. But God is holding me...holding me tight. And He has made promises to me that I know He will keep. He is a man of His Word! :-)
What a great feeling though...not only do I know that I am loved, adored and He believes in me, but now I feel Him holding me. Makes me speechless

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
