Birthdays

I'm in a really good mood right now. Quite peppy and bubbly. I know it's not going to last because I'm about to crash, but I just wanted to share a piece of it with the world. Or what I'd like to think is the world ;) I'm not a huge fan of birthdays, well at least not my own birthday, but this year... this year was a good one.
I'm blessed. I'm really really blessed. I am surrounded by amazing people who GENUINELY care about me (and those are hard to come by I might add). I am loved by God who loves me with an unconditional love when I am so underserving. I mean come on! That alone is hard to wrap my mind around. And then he keeps on going and blessing me with all these wonderful people, my friends and family, and the little adventures I'm getting to have along the way of living this life that is a gift from God. I'm really thankful for the nineteen years I've had on this earth, but this next year I want to be so much more purposeful. I want to have purpose and I want to bring glory to God in what I do. I've got some big dreams and I need to sit down and think them through and then probably put them out here so I have that accountability again, because we all know I need it.
God is good y'all. He is really good. Even when things happen that we don't understand. He is still God and He is still GOOD.

I'm back

I'm back. For now. I'm gonna try to keep blogging up this time around. It's summertime and I've got more time on my hands and if I learn to manage it and keep my priorities straight, maybe I can actually blog on a regular basis. I've been missing it. It's good to be back. I did decided not to play catch up though. The idea of summing up the last few months overwhelms me too much and I don't want to take the joy out of this whole blogging thing. So we're picking up just where we are now.
Like I said. It's summer. Yes. Summertime. I decided to make this the best one yet. I'm not even sure what it means, but I think I'll just try to make the best out of every situation thrown at me. It's a choice I want to make. A choice to make the best out of life, out of all the little (and big) adventures I'm sure lie ahead for summer twenty thirteen.
I have some summer "goals" I want to post in the near future because maybe if I put them here, I'll feel more obligated to actually complete them. I really am a goal oriented person, but I have a terrible habit of A: making too many unrealistic goals and getting burnt out, or B: making a list of goals and losing the actual list until a much later point in time when they don't matter anymore. I want this time to be different. I want to have a fun, productive, adventurous summer. Oo! Maybe I'll even make a list of words that I want to represent this summer. Oo oo! Maybe I'll even turn it into a photo project.
See lookie here. Blogging is already doing wonders for my brain and creativity.
Here goes nothing. Only two more days until the first official day of SUMMER!
