I'm starting my new year with a new look and name for my blog!
Also, a new found goal to blog regularly. Promise.
[There is still more layout editing to be done to the blog]
So, to begin... let's start with a makeover to this boring blog
and a wonderful makeover to my already packed closet courtesy of
my family & fiance for my birthday and Christmas. :)
Today, I just want to share with you some photos of my very spoiled Christmas which includes practically a full new closet of clothes. Once hanging them all up, I noticed a similar pattern in the color scheme of my new wardrobe. Obsessed? Maybe. I am pretty sure I also have every different type of patterned shirt possible. After this break, I am going to come back to school looking like a boho crazy chick or maybe just a hobo? Either way, I do love my oversized sweaters and relaxed vintage look I'm aiming for... now whether I achieve that properly or not is another story. Here's a peek into my new wardrobe ;)
And sadly, when I say peek, I mean peek.
This is such a small portion of the ridiculousness, yet
wonderful-ness(?) that is my wardrobe.
Okay, I'm totally speaking girl I know... but, the style portion of my blog is part of my blog makeover that I'm totally excited about. And I'm sure you're all, as if many are reading this, are enjoying how I'm talking as if I have a worldwide fashion blog that people are dying to read haha... but, this is fun for me and maybe some others will enjoy it as well. So humor me :)
Now on to the good stuff....
It's so amazing when you surrender your future over to God isn't it?
It is the scariest thing in the world but every single time it kicks me in the butt and makes me say "wow, I'm so sorry I didn't trust you sooner God, you're right." Then again, I go back and try to do something else on my own. I don't get it, what makes us as humans, myself included, think that we know better than the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE? Umm.. wow. It's almost silly if you think about it. I must quote my best friend Keiley Pierce here when I say "do you ever wonder if God just laughs at us?" How could He not in instances like that! Anyways, I've made a few changes to my future plans that I would like you to be praying about and will most likely change at any time now that they are no longer in my hands.
I have a true passion for counseling, especially married couples and families. I still desire to do marriage and family therapy but I am considering obtaining a degree from a seminary in order to get a Masters degree in Biblical Counseling & Women's Studies. I feel as if I want to be able to move in my career as God molds me and calls me. Therefore, I think this route would allow me to do what I feel I am called to right now and move as He moves me. Ahh, it makes me so excited at the very thought!! I could counsel, teach, lead, serve. I'm thinking counseling clinics, college classes, women's ministries, non profits, and so much more. So, with all these ideas in mind.... I've decided to make a list of all the things I would love to do as careers, all for the glory of God and purpose of advancing His kingdom, just for fun, because surrendering my future to the will of God has opened up so many doors already. I am so excited about these possibilities for my future and that I get to spend THE REST OF MY LIFE, by the leading and calling of Christ, serving my amazing God fully in whatever job I am in ANNNND that I get to do all of that alongside my incredible husband to be. I love you Trey Tyler!
P.S. HURRY UP JULY 21, 2012!! :)
