Rebirth 6/6/14

So, its been a long time since I have written one of these. Lately I have had the urge to write. As I sit here and type this blog I am filled with of many emotions. The biggest of these emotions is fear. The antidote for fear is movement. With that being said, there is nothing to fear but fear it self. The Lord says:

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I have struggled with this Proverb my entire life. Trust. Trusting someone other than myself to do what needs to be done for me. It is right now that I realize that my trust issues stem for the thought of me being the only person in the world exactly like me.
    I know that sounds crazy because no two people are the exact same, but in most cases people are able to find kindred spirits that are a  similar type of person. I realize too that this belief may be ill informed, but from what I know it is my truth.
   This is why I am deciding to write this blog because I truly want to know AM I  THE ONLY ONE? I also feel that it is time to share my journey and  my life experiences thus far. It is my hope that my words help, inspire, encourage, and motivate anyone that they reach. There is much more to come. Also please feel free to comment on things you want to know about me.
P.S.

Day 1 July 8, 2014

I have a job interview tomorrow. Two weeks to the day tomorrow would be the day that I got administratively transferred and surplus from my previous job, and tomorrow I have an interview. How ironic is that? I truly don't believe that it is irony I believe that it is God working his master plan. In exactly 3 weeks from tomorrow I start graduate school. That's five weeks total, and that is the time that it has taken me to complete my first devotional cover to cover. I completed strength for the journey a five-week devotional by Tim Wesemann today and my new journey will  begin  tomorrow. #100daysofhappiness

Strength to make Choices- I AM PROACTIVE

     The title of this post has perplexed me for some time now. Never in a million years did I think it took strength to make choices. All I thought it took was wise council and risk analysis, but I am learning that while those two things are important when making choices the most important part of the choice making process is  having the strength to live with the choices you make.       I believe that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and that no matter what one does you will end up where you were always supposed to be. You where destined to be there and no one else. God writes amazing stories for our lives(hence the name of my blog).  For many years I struggled with learning how to navigate this world as a triple minority. In high school I thought I found the answer, and that answer was be proactive not reactive. While I truly believe that is the answer to most problems, I now realize that at that point in my life I was to immatu...
