progress

It is Monday, December 28, 2009. I am on vacation- week 2 is just beginning and I cannot tell you how badly I needed this. I have been running full speed for several months now and to just sit back, get my house in order, enjoy friends and a non-schedule has been refreshing to say the least. Besides time, I am not sure why I have not been able to write. So much is always happening- I am consistently reflecting and feeling the need to regroup and focus, but somehow I have not felt the motivation to put it on paper. Some days, I am overwhelmed with a feeling that my life is moving so quickly and I am missing opportunities to feed my passions. On other days, I am simply intrigued by the blessings in my life and the incredible growth I continue to experience. I must believe that this season is also one that I must embrace- living it to the fullest and knowing that as I develop more into the person I was created to be, I will not be able to help but fulfill my passions.

I hope to find the time this week to update you on my life- there is so much- my sister, who has now been here for 6 months; my job, which I continue to find great favor at and am busier than ever; my love life, which still is lacking any sort of commitment, but is fun nonetheless; my friends, who remind me that I can be loved; my parents, who I am still trying to find my way with. It's all good. It's all growth. It's all a reminder that life is good and every breath is a blessing...because even on the days that I hurt and feel useless, frustrated, and overwhelmed- I am a better person today than I was yesterday.
