What's a girl to do....

So, my dilemma in starting a blog was that I didn't know if I should make if funny or serious. So much pressure to be good at this. So, I think I've decided we'll go with both. Maybe I'll end each post with a thought that is opposite of the theme of my post..??? We'll see...

I have been learning a TON lately from the Big Guy. A lot about trust, and life, and my plans vs. His plans. One thing that has been awesome lately is just how He is revealing His plan for me, ever so slowly :) He has allowed me to be a part of different things for different seasons. Some of which I thought were the "extended plan" for life, but God showed me He is bigger than that.

Recently, within the past year or so, He has been bringing out a side of me that I honestly didn't even know existed. At first I thought it was just kind of random interest, but I have come to learn how much it truly is God. I have NEVER been the super artsy/creative type of person. I took a crafts class in high school b/c I needed an elective...and I hated it. But lately I have had several opportunities to design things (for work, church, etc.) and I have loved it! So for the past year I had been debating going back to school, and what for, etc. Finally I decided, after much thought and prayer, to go back for Graphic Design!!! It took me a while to decide, b/c like I said, I have never been artsy at all and I thought it was maybe a random thing. But I have found that it certainly is not. God has brought this passion out in me at the absolute perfect time in my life, of course. And since I made my decision, so many things have been falling into place for me. Its honestly so hard for me to comprehend or even put into words. But it is awesome to know that something I thought was totally random and insignificant has become my passion and I can see God's perfect timing in it. I'm glad He's so perfect :)

Funny Thought: How hard is it really to be the girl who does the traffic report on local news? I mean honestly, feel like I could handle that.
