First things first... I'm happy! Genuinely and completely. I am single and have been for several months now but life is SO good!
I attribute a lot of my happiness to the amazing changes God is bringin into my life right now. I have discovered a new family, a new home at Adventurequest church. I look forward to going every Sunday and every time I leave that place I take something away with me. I am learning so much about myself and I can feel a difference. I can't help but be optimistic and happy and eternally and endlessly grateful. I have met some truly amazing people I am proud to call friends. I take every day as it comes and don't take any opportunity for granted.
I recently broke my foot after slipping in the snow. Not once was I upset or down about it which really surprised me. It has been an amazing experience. Truly humbling. I am NOT one to ask for help and I had to learn to do that, knowing that i would do the same or more for the people that assisted me. Every day has been a new challenge from getting used to using crutches to driving with a cast on to working at a job where I normally stand all day. Suddenly everything was more difficult but I did not give up and always managed a way to move forward and get things done. It truly made me grateful for the gifts i have been given and above all, the people I surround myself with. My friends dropped off movies and food, even a coloring book and crayons so I wouldn't be bored, my bosses let me sit on a stool so I could still do hair colors and cuts at the salon and my co-workers took over my nightly duties i could no longer do with no complaint. My parents have been truly amazing bringing me leftovers, driving me to and from work when the weather was bad, helping me pick up the house and vacuum, taking me to the grocery store, and doctors appointments, more than I could have ever asked or hoped for. They have now joined me at church and have been making a new journey of their own, adopting a local family in need at Christmas time and making sure they had a reason to celebrate! My mother just bought me a new bible for Valentine's day after I showed an interest in expanding my knowedge and I have made it my goal to read it front to back. I am currrently only 30 or so chapters into Genesis but it's fascinating and I try to read a little bit every night and I'm amazed at how much I'm already learning!
Life is good.
God is good.
