miss y'all

Dear Xangans,

I miss you dearly.

Whether you noticed or not, my laptop died on me and I haven't been reading, commenting, recommending, or posting.

I'm hoping to get it fixed or repaired soon...I've just been overwhelmed with my new job and stuff.

When I say I miss you, I really do. The great ideas, the insights, the stories; all are deeply meaningful to me.

Hopefully I will be back soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Be blessed in Christ!

start of my career!

It is official!  I start my career as a social worker on Monday, December 13th!

Tomorrow is my last day working at Starbucks.

My emotions range from grief at leaving my Starbucks family to joy at finally getting what I've worked for all of these years.

Thank you for encouraging me as I got discouraged over the past half a year or so. 

Icing on the big happy cake is that my best friend throughout undergraduate and grad school also got the position! We will now be colleagues. =]]

I'm highly blessed and favored and SO thankful!!

peace of heart

I'm feeling tired but energized.

I'm in my 3rd week of a 3-days-a-week strength training and 3-days-a-week cardio program (yes, 6 times a week!!) and I'm feeling stronger already. 

Ready to take on the world that would hold me down if it could!!!

I've been praying over every meal, thanking Jesus for the overabundance of Grace in my life and for the many blessings.
And I'm just waiting (not so) patiently for my career to start. I want to be a (hired) social worker, but in the meantime, I'm a barista.
It is less than a month until my  25th birthday and I'm pretty stoked yet scared at the same time. So much that I have experienced in these 25 years and so much more left to be discovered for me in the next 25 years to come!

I'm trying to remember to walk in Love everyday and have a peaceful heart.
Pray that I'm able to.heart

Sorrow

 

If I didn't have God, and know that I was held through all of this pain that life brings and that this life is so very temporary, I would spend my entire life in tears, not just days.  I am sorrow-filled right now. My heart is wrenched. My face and chest hurts from crying.

Even through these tears, I know that there is hope.

If you asked me right now why I am so sad, I could list so much but in the same breath the list of blessings in my life would still be longer.

So I will continue to pray and believe that even though I feel like I am fighting an uphill battle every day of my life, I am supported and held through it and that Jesus' love and favor for me is greater than any grief this world can bring.

 

"Sorrow" -flyleaf

Sometimes life seems too quiet

Into paralyzing silence

Like the moonless dark

Meant to make me strong

 

Familiar breath of my old lies

Changed the color in my eyes

Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

 

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of you

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me

 

Left alone with only reflections of the memory

To face the ugly girl that's smothering me

Sitting closer than my pain

He knew each tear before it came

Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

 

Sorrow last through this night

I'll take this piece of You

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As You flew right through me

 

And we kiss each other one more time

And sing this lie that's halfway mine

The sword is slicing through the question

So I won't be fooled by his angel light

 

Sorrow lasts through this night

I'll take this piece of you

And hope for all eternity

For just one second I felt whole

As you flew right through me

And up into the stars

Joy will come
