30 Days Of Truth: Day 6.

Hey y'all! I know it's been over a week since I have written anything at all. I have been pretty busy. Between work and all of the other life stuff, I have been studying. I took my first of two exams yesterday. I have no idea how I did. I always feel like I bombed tests like that. 150 questions. Multiple choice. Bleh. I have to pass it before I can take the next one, so lets just hope I passed it!

Picking up where I left off on the 30 Days of Truth... Today Is Day 6...

Day 6 — Something you hope you never have to do.

Due to recent events, I hope I never have to live through devastation like Oklahoma is facing right now. Unfortunately, weather is totally uncontrollable. I can't imagine what it is like to be a parent missing a child, or a child missing a parent. These people have lost everything. Including loved ones and pets. I can't even wrap my head around it. I constantly question why God allows things like this to happen. I will never know the answer to that. I'm praying that the people of Oklahoma can find some kind of peace in the midst of this tragedy.

Found in the rubble in Moore, OK.

The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.
Job 1:21

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

Happy Tuesday, Y'all!

30 Days Of Truth: Day 5.

Day 5 — Something you hope to do in your life.

I have so so many things that I want to do in my life. More than anything, I want to be a wife and a mom. That hasn't happened yet. Hopefully it will some day. Aside from that, I want to be a nurse. I love people and I love taking care of people. I am hoping to be able to go back to school within the next year. I was in school for a while but I quit. I wasn't focused and I had no faith in myself to get it done. And I wasn't even sure that I would be good at it. But, I have prayed about it for months now and I know that I will be good at it. I can't wait. I will be at least 30 by the time I finish school but I know it will be worth it.

30 Days Of Truth: Day 4

Day 4 — Something you have to forgive someone for.

Here we are. Day 4. Today is a hard one. Only because I can't think of anything that I need to forgive anyone for. I guess that's a good thing. But really, I don't have anything.

I hope y'all had a great day!

30 Days Of Truth. Day 3.

Day 03 — Something you have to forgive yourself for.

Eeeeeek. I knew some of these would be a little harder than others. I didn't anticipate them being this hard. But, since this is called 30 Days of Truth, I am going to completely honest. Choices. At some point in my life I am going to have to forgive myself for the choices I did or didn't make. I was never one to follow rules. Ever. As a teenager, I was as rebellious as the day is long and everyone knew it.

What I didn't know was that the rebellious, in the moment, piss everyone off choices I was making were going to affect me for the rest of my life. As a teenager I had no concept of the "Bigger Picture". I was pretty stupid. I really thought I had it all figured out. I didn't go to college. I spent way too much time trying to be older before I was older. I wasted so much time in meaningless relationships. I lost time that I can never get back because of my choices. I thought it would be a great idea to move away from everything I had ever known for a relationship. I missed time with my family, I lost all of my friends. Only to move home 3 years later and have to start all over. Like the first day of high school. Trying to make new friends, working a crappy job and living with my parents. Not a good place for a 21 year old to be. The hardest part was that all of those friends I graduated high school with were now graduating college. I missed out on so much. I missed the 4 year period where young people figure out who they are and what they want to do with their lives. All because of my choices. I lived with the consequences of those choices for years. I am still living with them. I say all the time that if I could just go back I would do everything so different. I would have enjoyed being 16 with nothing to worry about. I would have go to college and savor every single second. BUT, this must be said, if I was actually given some freaky Back to the Future moment, I wouldn't really change anything. Yes, I still get upset with myself because I didn't make the right choices according to southern standards.

It's all okay. I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for all of those stupid choices. Those meaningless relationships taught me how strong I am and what I truly deserve. That time I lost with my family makes me appreciate every moment that I have with them. Those friends I lost, made me work that much harder to be a good a friend and maintain the new friendships I formed. That college degree that I don't have makes me work that much harder to get where I want to be. Ultimately, those choices, those people, that time period... made me who I am today and it couldn't have happened any other way. Sure, some parts I still need to forgive myself for. That will come over time. But the other parts, all I can do is thank God that He let me experience the things He did. I'm stronger, wiser, braver, happier and more importantly, I'm right where I need to be.

Happy Wednesday, Y'all!
