Happy Saturday, Guys!
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." -Abraham Lincoln
Lately, I have been in a slump. Is that the right word? Maybe more "dis-combobbled"? I'm not sure.
Although, great things are happening... I got married in September! We just moved into our new apartment! We both have jobs and people who love us. For me though, I feel lost at times, more often in the past week or so. Despite all of these great things that are happening in my life, I just feel... unfulfilled. Or maybe it's actually that I don't feel like I am fulfilling my role. I guess that's kind of hard when I'm not sure what that role is.
I am the person who has picked hand fulls of different careers over the years. Teacher, Nurse, Pastry Chef, Weather-Girl (that one was funny), Missionary, Photographer, Pro-Traveler, someone who sells crafts and lives out of a van (yes, I really wanted to do that. I still kind of do.), Farmer, Antique Store Owner. Seriously, the list goes for miles. Maybe the reason I feel so bad about where I'm at is because society, our schools, our parents, tell us we have to know who we are and who we are going to be, by the time we leave high school. That is so unrealistic.
I don't know what the meaning of any of this is really supposed to be, except maybe to document the day that I decide to BE HAPPY, and trust God with the rest. I'm sure He has purpose for me and I'm positive there is some sort of plan, I suppose I just have to decide to trust in that promise and be happy regardless of which part of the story I'm at.
"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude" -Denis Waitley
