Hey friends. It's been awhile since I've been on here; and as you can see from the title, this will be some more rambling. Mainly just what's been going on in my life since my last post. So here goes.
Well, as some of you know, I went for an eye exam on February 7th. I was told that my glasses would be ready in 5 to 10 days. Haha, well 18 days later I get them. Which I guess isn't that bad; but when you're hoping to get your license soon - having to wait wasn't much fun. Now I'm going to have to wait even longer to get my license because we are going to be getting some unpleasant weather - which is supposed to last pretty much all week. So I probably won't be getting any practice in this week unless the weather is willing to cooperate.
Moving on. I'm still looking for a job. I called a place on the 19th just to see if they had a chance to look at the application I'd sent in. They told me they were looking at applications because they are hiring. Well, I haven't heard anything back yet; and it's been a week. So I'm going to start filling out more applications throughout the week. I'm really hoping I'm able to get a job. I've been praying about it, and I know if it's meant to be, I'll get one. I'd just like to be able to have some extra cash so I don't always have to be so frugal. I mean, being frugal is a good thing; and it'll more than likely help me later in life - but I'm almost 18. I'd like to be able to afford a car of my own; and perhaps a place if my own if need be. Not saying the later will happen, but ya never know. So if I could get my readers to pray that I get a job, it'd be much appreciated.
Onto another topic. Pinterest, ah my new obsession. I know what you're probably thinking "this girl gets obsessed with everything" and that may very well be true; but Pinterest is super cool. I've found quite a few things that I want to try - including my next hair cut and possibly color. Also, I've found some really cool nail designs; and as soon as I get new polish, I'm going to try some if them. It's just an all around cool sight. If you're not on it, I suggest you give it a whirl. There's craft ideas, home decor, fashion, beauty, pretty much anything you can think of.
Hmm, what else has gone on in my life...? Now that I think about it - not a whole lot has been going on. I mean I pretty much do the same thing every day. Yes, this Blogger leads a very boring life most of the time.
Okay, let's move on. Oh, I know something - I've been thinking about maybe getting into the art of flower arranging. It just seems like it'd be pretty fun; and it'd give me something to do. I did jewelry making for awhile; but I ran out of clasps and haven't been able to get more. It is something I enjoy though. Also, I could also do photography with flower arranging. Ya know, just taking pictures of my work, uploading them onto Facebook, Pinterest and maybe Instagram. It's kinda been on my mind of late; and that's another reason why I need a job. So I can pursue the things that I want. Because right now, I can't afford everything I'd need for all of it. So, anyway, yeah that's been on my mind.
Something else that I've been thinking about is my book. I'm kinda sorta thinking about writing one. I've got this idea; and I've written some if it down, but it just doesn't seem to be coming out the way it was in my head. I don't know, does this make sense? It just doesn't seem to have enough detail. I just need to have time to perfect it I guess. Haha, who am I kidding, I just need time. I know I said I don't do much, but I kinda want to keep it a secret; and 9 times outa 10 I don't have a lot of privacy. I could do before bed, but I'd be up all night; and yeah, probably not a great idea. I'll figure something out eventually.
Oh, one more thing. I recently saw a picture, I believe on Pinterest, that really got my attention. On the picture it said "Don't ask God to guide your steps if you're not willing to move your feet." I saw this and I thought to myself 'maybe this is why your life isn't going anywhere' because I pray that God will guide and direct my steps; but I don't change anything. I mean, if I want Him to guide my life, I'm going to have to change. I'm going to have to move my feet. It's just that those fears get in the way; and stop me from doing it. I'm not trying to make excuses or anything. I'm really trying to change that. It's why I'm doing a devotion on being fearless. So with prayer I'm hoping, no, I'm going to stop letting my fears win. I'm going to let God guide my steps. Because I know my life will be so much better and easier with Jesus at the wheel.
So friends, I will stop my rambling here; and leave you with this:
If you want God to direct your steps, want Him to guide your life, you need to let go of all the fears, all the anxiety, everything that is holding you back, and it will happen. He will guide you. I know it can be difficult, because I'm in the process of doing the same thing. But it's possible. We can take this journey together. All we have to do is take the first step...

Oh, fear...that annoying thing, always getting in the way...I have been learning a lot about fear, and what it does, and how to conquer it. Lately I haven't been doing so well.
ReplyDeleteThere is this song that I listen to whenever I'm feeling scared to do what I have to do, "Born for This" by Mandisa. (I post it on Facebook about once a week, XD) It really helps, though. When you think about it, all of mankind owes their very lives to Esther. If she HADN'T gone before the king, and faced her fear, and the Jews had been annihilated, who would have preserved God's Word? Who would Jesus have come down as? Where would the human population be without Scripture and Jesus? We'd have killed each other by now, til their was no one left. Things that seem small can have a HUGE impact on the world, and on our lives. (Not that Esther's situation was small, but I don't think most people quite realize just how big it was.)
I will definitely have to listen to that song. I really like "Stronger" by Mandisa.
