I miss you. Do you miss me too? *semi-long post alert*
I've been wanting to post but I promised myself that I wouldn't blog or make a video until we got this house settled. Now that our furniture is in, I can really focus on other things like the wedding which is only 3 weeks away. Remember the date kept changing?
First it was November but that was too long to wait, then March but that was entirely too soon. At the time, we were still dealing with the house and wanted to wait until we went to settlement in April to get married. So then we thought of the perfect date; June 8th which would be our 5 year anniversary. We said, "why not make it our official anniversary?!" And so it will be.
Although the wedding will be super small (about 45-60 people), I've been dealing with the typical wedding stress that goes with the planning. I assure you I'm not being a bridezilla although I have been a bit moody which is another reason why I haven't blogged. I couldn't bare to bring to you anything less than what I felt was absolute positivity. Today, I'm feeling wonderful though and I jumped at the opportunity to blog and give you an update.
On another note, this semi-hiatus has helped me to realize a few things about the path that I'm on. A few posts ago, I talked about how I was waiting to hear from God about my next steps and part of that was about my purpose in life. What am I supposed to be doing with my life and is what's one my heart the right thing for me? What will ultimately help be fulfilling to myself and inspire/help others?
Funny how God works because he sent me quite a few clear confirmations in this month's time. I know it is God speaking to me when something's on my heart and in my spirit but I've yet to reveal it and the next thing I know the words are being spoken back to me through multiple sources and people. These sources and people--each that have absolutely nothing to do with the other.
I didn't put four and four together until only yesterday afternoon when the final confirmation came from one of my best friends--again even she knew nothing about what was on my heart and came out of nowhere and said the words I needed to hear just after talking about her own recent blessings. I took that as God saying that it's really not too late. I'll tell y'all now that I was this {} close to resigning my dreams to working at a job that is not fulfilling. (thanks, I'm crying now, lol) The job has it's perks but its a job that when I wake up every morning I think of every reason why I shouldn't go to work.
My current dream is the dream that I've always had and it's the path I'd originally set out on years ago and now that dream, that yearning has come back stronger than it was before. I really do sense that God is telling me "now is the time to make strides". I can't reveal it all to you now, honeys, but I'm telling you here and now that this here blog is part of it so I won't be going away. The blog is a very small portion of it but it is included.
I'll share more and more along the way and I hope you'll be here to share in this with me.

You know what this means: One more thing slashed off my list of "31 Things"

Girl I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO there with you on leaving our burdens on God's feet. I've been having major "job" and blog issues too but He has been working out everything. Every moment I'm stressed, He works it out in a way only He can.
Glad to know all is well on your end and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. And, of course, good luck and many blessings with your upcoming wedding :)
