Time moves both fast and slow...weird!

Time moves fast and slow...do you know what I mean?

Let's take the month of April for example.  I can't believe that tomorrow is the last day of April.  I mean this month has flown by!  And it should, I was busy.  But when I stop and think, my one year anniversary was a few weeks ago...that just seems insane!  It seems like another lifetime ago that we celebrated with eating our cake!

It's been quite a month!  I'm glad it's over!  If you have read my blog you know that I'm always looking at the future!  So, I'm excited for this next season in life, in weather, in things that we are doing.

I have 15 more days of school, which means a wonderful change in schedule.  My summer theatre camp begins here shortly...which is one of my favorite times of the year!  Curt is looking for a different job.  One that will hopefully make him a bit more happy and a bit more money.  So there is that change in life.  We will be moving out of our apartment and into....well, we aren't sure exactly where we will be moving.  My sisters babies will be born in July, so that will be a nice trip for us!  I start the Masters Program in June- another change!  It's just so exciting!

So, while this month flew by, the individual days of the week were a bit slow motion!  Here is too a new month!  To warmer weather, new routines, different jobs, new dances, homework, and a new life path!  We can do this and I'm actually looking forward to doing this!

Hello Headache...it's been a while...

People, yesterday I said to my husband (who had a headache) that I have not had a headache in a long time.  Not that I was trying to brag to my hubby, but I am a person who gets headaches a lot.  I feel as if I get them every couple of days.  So for me to say that I have not gotten one in a while was a bit crazy.  

So, I went to look it up...and it's been 16 days since my last headache.  Of course today (the day after I comment about my lack of headaches) I get a headache.  But I still take it as a big accomplishment!  

My next thoughts go to...why did I get a headache?

1. I have been drinking a lot of water lately.  I try to do 6-9 glasses a night.  I'm currently on glasses 7-9.  So, I don't think I'm dehydrated.

2. I didn't eat on time.  If I wait to long to eat...then I get a hunger headache.  I was starving when I went to grab my lunch...so that might be the case.

3. The weather is a bit crazy right now...so that might cause a headache.

You want to know what I think?

I think I'm having sugar withdrawals!  Now don't get me wrong....I still had coffee with creamer yesterday- a salted mocha caramel creamer.  Last night I ate a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich.  So, it's not like I'm cutting it out cold turkey.  But...I'm not eating cookie dough.  Or candy bars.  Or any type of deliberate sweet.  And I think my body is saying...there is a lot less sugar here than normal.  So...yikes!  It's so hard to not have sweets!  They are my downfall!  But I remember in December having so much extra energy...even though I was working like a mad woman!  So, I'm going to try to refrain...

So, I'm going to blame my headache on my sugar withdrawal!  Ha ha ha!  We will see how tomorrow goes!

Coincidence or a God Thing?

Coincidence or A God Thing?

So, I have a calendar sitting on my desk that has Bible quotes and little inspirational notes...almost like mini lessons....but not really.  Anyway, my parents got these for all of us girls a couple of years ago.  Last year I brought it to school to look at every day.  And I will keep using it, because...well I like reading the messages.  *Sidebar, they got one for each of us 4 girls, but what they didn't realize is that one of them was in Spanish.  So, that was really funny to watch Sarah open on Christmas morning.  It's a good thing she minored in Spanish in college...ha ha ha*

So, it seems that when I'm feeling particularly stressed about something, I flip my calendar to the current date and the message is meant just for me!  This happens more than you know.  One time I was worried about money and I flipped the calendar and it said something about money not being the end all be all.  Ha!

Today I come in to work, and I'm worried about life.  Since I am no longer insanely busy...I now have time to worry about EVERYTHING!  Ha ha ha!  Now I worry normally, but today I was getting frustrated because I'm worried about things that are out of my control!  And I hate not being able to control things in my life...ha ha ha!

Anyway, so I get to work, flip my calendar and it says:

Trust Me, and don't be afraid.  Many things feel out of control.  Your routines are not running smoothly.  You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable.  Let Me lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances.  Take refuge in the shelter of My wings, where you are absolutely secure.

When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip My hand tightly and look for growth opportunities.  Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new.  I lead you on from glory to glory, making you fit for My kingdom.  Say yes to the ways I work in your life.  Trush Me, and don't be afraid.

Ha ha ha, just last night I was sitting with my husband thinking...what are we going to do?  We have so much time together...this is new!  And not that I liked never seeing him...but going from seeing him for a few hours a couple times a week...to seeing him every night for 4-5 hours a night...well it's different.  It's new!  It's something that I am having to figure out.  Life right now feels off, feels out of control, and I have not made any new routines yet...so this passage was written just for me today!  

Coincidence or a God thing?  I am going with a God thing!  It makes me feel better that God is here is with me.  That he knows my worries and this little calendar is his way of saying...don't worry, I'm here with you!

Okay...it's back to work for me!
