The past few weeks, I have started to realize many things-
1) If I start every post with “Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve written”, it starts to lose sentiment!
2) I am valuable! I am valuable in myself, and in Christ. I have a lot to offer my friends, my coworkers, and in my relationships. If I don’t believe that- How could I expect anyone else to??
WARNING: This section is in no way to sound cocky. It is merely about finding self-worth in a world that continually tries to strip it away.
3) If God is trying to show you something, and you keep pretending like you can’t see it- He will NOT relent!
Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? I moved! I am still in Webb City, yes. But I have moved into my own little 2 bedroom house. It’s not much, but God has given it to me, and it is perfect for Daphne and I! She isn’t convinced just yet, but she still gets to stay at her Nana’s during the day, so it hasn’t been too bad for her!
My brother, Brandon, and Ashley are getting married! I love her, and I am thrilled to have a new sister! They’re getting hitched in March, and with any luck, I will be an aunt shortly after that ;) Hint Hint!
Work is going great! I adore my coworkers more than ever, and I can’t believe how blessed I am to get to come to an office everyday where we get to laugh and love what we do! As long as we don’t whistle. Never whistle.
Next is the whole “I believe in myself” segment. Feel free to skip to the following paragraph if you have an overactive gag reflex. The past few weeks have opened up my eyes in so many ways! I, by no means, have ever felt like I may or may not need a man. Quite the opposite actually. I am very selfish with my time, and I love my sleep! (It is funny how your lazy-meter goes down, as your desires start to change!) But I have often found myself feeling as if I need to settle or lower my standards. I have started to begin praying that God would allow me to see myself how He sees me. I am still working on it- But a few things have started to click! For example, it turns out that have a lot to offer! Whether in a relationship with a man, or in my friendships! God has been pouring out blessings on me so much recently! He has given me some amazing female friends here, who share my values and beliefs. We can support each other in times of need. I have missed that so much! As far as the dating part goes, I found out that I am worth pursuing. I am worth being chased.
