Hanging On

I started this blog over a year ago and haven't written since then.  However, today my Dad called and said he was interested in started a blog and I thought "Gosh, I have a blog that I haven't written in for along time.  I wonder if it is still published."  It is published, so I am writing my second entry today.:) Here are my thoughts for the day.  Over the last year, I have started running ( I don't like running, but someday would like to run a 5K).  I have realized it is more of a mental reason I don't like running than a physical reason.  I can do 3 miles now, which over a year ago I was struggling with one.  Yesterday, when I was running at Sharon Woods (running the loop) I was listening to worship music and I felt like I could run faster.  It was kind of like God was pushing me around the 2.5 mile loop.  My music was loud because I was not using my headphones; since,  I left them at home and I had to turn the volume up on my Ipod.  What a wonderful run!  This song come on called "Hanging On" by Britt Nicole.  I thought to myself no matter what happens I need to continue to hang on to God and His word and give Him control.  What a great reminder yesterday!  This week, I really feel like giving up on my search, but God makes me continue to want to press on.

Life is About Changes

Life is a series of changes that can be positive or negative, but everything in life changes.  Recently, I am going through a big change in my life, which I had several negative thoughts about (and sometimes still do), but also have had several positive thoughts about.  This week at my Dave Ramsey class at church, we were going through the lesson on "Strengths, Skills, and Your Career."     However, I do believe in a bigger purpose.  The thought that has been going through my mind lately, "What if I was created to do so much more than be a teacher or a counselor?" In February, I resigned from my 8 years of teaching at Ross, which is still hard for me to believe.
