Getting Personal

I feel that I really haven't talked about what's going on in MY LIFE, so I thought I would share a few things.

1. I finally am going back to school (Southeastern University) after a year sabbatical and I can't wait! I am so excited! I am taking Intro to Humanities, Quantitative Methods I, Life of Christ, Business Ethics, and Christ, Culture, and University. I wasn't planning on taking Christ, Culture, and University, but the class was full for Personal Financial Management.

I am planning to hopefully graduate December 2011! I have been dreaming of this day for quite some time now. Before I met Stephen, school and career was my #1 priority. The Lord had to teach me some lessons about that. :) God goes first and whatever he wants me to do will be what I want to do. I got so caught up in academics and work and everything else, that I was wearing myself thin and not really focusing on God. That is another reason why I took a academic sabbatical. :)

2. As posted before, I am now selling Avon. Even though I am a pretty outgoing and personable person, I feel like I am somewhat out of my comfort zone. This is something completely different than anything I have ever done before and it scares me because I am afraid I am going to fail. BIG TIME. I think that is what holds me back on doing certain things is because of that factor. I shouldn't let it! But it sometimes happens. But whenever I get discouraged, fearful, stressed, etc - I just thank the Lord for his mighty provision and for His might hand on my life. I say to myself, "I am anointed to be a successful Avon representative on a level this world is not familiar with all for the Glory of God!" It helps when you speak it out loud.

3. Well, married life is awesome! On a lot of levels, it hasn't been that big of an adjustment for me. It actually feels like we have been married for years - in a good way! Not to say we haven't had our moments or "discussions," but in the end, we both love each other and put God first in our individual lives and together. That is what counts and makes all the difference.

It feels kind of weird that I am married because every girl dreams of her wedding day. I had actually put together a HUGE book of pictures and ideas in a sketch book that I plan to keep for my daughter.

Kids? Nope, not for a while. The plan is to wait until after I graduate to have kids....we are also planning to go to Ireland Spring 2012. That's what Stephen's wants to do to celebrate my graduating. That is the kind of husband I have! I have wanted to go to Ireland for many years. :)

Well, that is all I can think of right now that is going on in my life. And it's a good one! :)

Blessings!
