Life ~ pt.1

I currently have three completed blogs in my drafts, just waiting to be published. But as I read over them, I felt that none of them are right for what’s been on my mind this week. So far in 2018 a lot of things have happened and changed for me, and I wanted to share some of them with you guys.

In January, this really great guy started showing interest in me and we started talking. A month later we started dating and neither one of us could fathom how God worked to bring us together. I’ve always wanted to be in a relationship, but I honestly could never really picture it. Now that I am in one, I am blown away by God’s grace, because He brought me the most amazing guy who is 10x times what I ever imagined for myself!

In April I learned that I had been accepted into my desired program, I’m two years away from being a physical therapist assistant! I’ve worked really hard the last year and a half to fulfill the requirements, but I honestly assumed I wouldn’t get in. I’m a pessimist by nature so ya know. The fact that I was accepted into the program is a total God-thing, because according to the other students in my program, it doesn’t make sense that I got it, but HEY, who am I to go against what God has worked out. So step one of my college goal is done, but now I actually have to get through the program which is supposed to be wicked hard.

Throughout the year I have already been traveling, and I have a few more trips booked and some more in the works. So fun, and I seriously recommend traveling, there’s nothing like it.

There’s always some *fun* personal stuff going on in my life as well, but that’s the same for everyone. I won’t share the details, but any prayers sent up on my behalf is always appreciated.

The point of this wee life update is that I have been dwelling on Psalm 56:11 lately. “In God I put my trust; and I am not afraid. What can man do to me?” The whole of Psalm 56 is David crying out to God and he repeats the wording of verse 11 several times. I have seen this week that I need to trust God with everything in my life. But it is SO hard. I am majorly Type A and I usually feel like I have everything pretty together. But with all this new stuff in my life I am feeling pretty overwhelmed. Thankfully I have a God I trust in, and I guess this is just a reminder that no matter how tough things get, God is with us every step of the way, and He has a plan for our lives, even when we can’t see what it is. So, my friends, trust in Him, and do not be afraid! What could man possibly do to us when we have God on our side?

Also, here’s a pic of my cute boyfriend, because why not?
