Hello! I'm glad you've decided to take a peek at my blog. It's funny, I've been researching blogs for work as a way to increase traffic to our website and possibly increase sales. During my research I thought about creating my own blog, just for fun, about some of the random thoughts in my head and start some dialogue with my friends and family. So here I am...let me know what you think!
Today I had a conversation with my aunt about going back to the basics. Sometimes God takes away all of your earthly support systems so that you learn to depend on Him and Him only. That's where I am right now.
Most of my friends are happily coupled, some on their way to the altar. Heck even my roommate has found love with someone she can barely communicate with. I've recently changed jobs - a step up (for once instead of spinning my wheels at Big Brown) - and that has changed the entire landscape of my daily life. So here I am on Labor Day with no one but my fat cat and the strangers at my gym. One thing my very wise aunt said is that I have enough time to focus on my job during the critical first few months.
I've mentioned going from a strict religious upbringing, to religious ambiguity, to a true relationship with God. What brought me back to my spiritual roots? To be honest, it was a long time in the making, but the spark was the massacre at VA Tech. Something inside of me just clicked. One of the greatest hurdles I'm working to overcome is an ingrained pessimism. I think it's carryover from my father - the greatest pessimist of all times.
But I can honestly say that since rededicating my life to God, a sense of calm has overcome me. This does not mean that everything is coming up roses. Instead I start each day with the knowledge that I am working for something greater than what I can immediately see in front of me.
I hope to see you back here soon...
