Back to My Roots

As of lately I have felt that I truly am right where I am supposed to be. Not that I haven't felt this way before but it has never been so intense. All of the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together and shifting to the right places. Never before have I felt every element to be in line and at such a great place. Physically, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually...all of these things are at the high mark. My spinning classes have given me a new hobby and a really great new workout. I enjoy doing cardio much more with these classes.

Being challenged by a new internship along with a job and classes seemed overwhelming at first, but I have taken these worries up to God, and know that I will be able to do so with his help. I have become less worrisome over things I can't control and have to remind myself that God has a plan and I can't sweat the small stuff~

I have become much closer to Brandon over the past few months and feel that we are at a really great place in our relationship. For the first time in a relationship, I feel that my boyfriend is not just a boyfriend...but a companion, a significant other, a friend, which is truly great.

My spiritual walk has also been steadily on pace and I have been enblazed by the spirit. I have never had such an urge before to be more closer to God. My readings that I do on my own have really put a different perspective on my life and have transformed by way of thinking, living, loving. Definetely a great thing.

I have done things over the past few months that I haven't done in quite some time. From paddle boating with a best friend like old times, to heading back up to Cherry County, to taking weekends to spend in the peacefulness of the outdoors, to laying in the hammock taking naps, to the gravel pit to go go carting, it feels good to be back at a place that I adore. I went through a stage of growing, learning and experiencing college life. I have grown so much since those days and am blessed to be where I am. No longer is it important to go out and take shot upon shot at the bar or get all glitzed up. I do still like doing those types of things...but in much more moderation. Simplicity has become a way of living and I pray that it continues to do so. The material realm that I had lived in for so long has become more superficial to me. Having nice things and looking nice is still important, but not as much. Where will these things get you in the long run?
