'Tomorrow Is A Gift, That's Why They Call It The Present.'

I can not believe 7 months ago I was so indecisive and nervous about making the decision to stop working and go to school. Going to school was something I never planned on doing after I graduated high school. I was so set on finding a job I can make a career out of. I honestly thought I was going to find that at the post office which was my current job at the time. I went from making $1000 every two weeks to living off no income. It was the best decision I ever made. It made me appreciate the dollar more and enjoy every moment I had spent with my son. Although I was in school 8 hours of the day, 4 days a week, that was still a huge difference and I felt like I was spending way more time with my son. I absolutely love that! 
Well here I am 7 months later and I'm done with school! Tomorrow I start my extern and honestly I don't know how to feel about it. When I got the call that I have a site to attend starting Monday, I was super anxiety and didn't know what to expect. Now that it's the night before, I feel like I'm just going back to class tomorrow even though I know I'm not. I'm not nervous at all, I'm very excited to start and get my 180 hours over with! Hopefully I can make this my job and career and get my life rolling. 

I survived these past months with prayer. I would of never been able to make it if I didn't keep praying and had others praying for me! God kept me close by and I made sure I didn't fall too far from Him. 
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life and I'm so excited to see what it brings!

In Prayer

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
