Time

So I have been very busy these past couple of weeks and the time just seems to be flying. Now I know what you may be thinking and thats that time does fly by, however it seems ever since I began my job at Youth for Christ that the time is going particularly fast. Maybe its just because everything that I am doing right now is being planned so far in advance that I am constantly looking at what's next.
Now most of you know I am more of a spontaneous person, kinda "fly by the seat of my pants", or let me see what else may come up before I committ to an activity:) For good or bad that is me, sorry. But is this what life is like when you become a planner? Everything comes and goes in your life and the enjoyment is more in the anticipation than in the actual events? Someone may have to tell me is this the feeling that people who have this "planner" personality consistantly live in? It is not that I am uphappy about becoming a person who plans things in advance, I just don't understand why life all of a sudden seems to be flying by.
Perhaps it is just a sign of getting older, or it is summertime and summer always goes by faster than the fall and winter. Either way I feel like time is getting away from me and its hard to know when or if I can get control back..........
Control being the operative word, maybe I have just never had "control" before, but what if I am not mean't to have "control". Well I'm definately over-thinking it now. I hope that I can find ways be spontaneous within my plans, and enjoy time whether its rushing past me or standing still.

sleepy Emily




I am house sitting and with the house came a cute dog named Daisy! And with Emily came a cute puppy named Bellagio! Although it is a blessing to have a roof over my head, this situation quite honestly sucks. The dogs are not used to each other, Daisy isn't used to me, Bellagio isn't used to this house and routine, and I am not used to not getting any sleep because of irritated dogs....Needless to say this is much harder than it looks. blah blah blah, this basically is just a little rant on me being tired. I can actually feel myself getting cranky. Sooo if I snap at you sorry, and it won't get better for at least another 10 days:)

Workin It Out

I know its been a month since I have posted anything...sorry. I have been in transition. transition in new job, living situations, and my best friends are moving out of state with their little girl who I only met 3 weeks ago:( I'm very blessed however to have God work all things out!
The lease was up on the house I was living in with 3 girls, July 1. But with June being the month that I took off 10 days to go for YFC training, and only working part-time when I got back, I was seriously short on cash and therefore could not afford to get a new place to live in. It was lookin like I was possibly going to be homeless? Then God stepped in as He always does and provided me with a couple of housesitting gigs, (one of which is paying me to stay in their house). Also my insurance switched over this month to a new carrier so I recieved a refund of the same amount of money as my new payment will be. So even though I am scraping to get by God has worked everything out for me. He has even given me a place to stay for the month of August, rent-free so I can save to get a place of my own. Not to mention on a personal note, several months ago when I helped with Chipotle's Wellingtion opening...remember, well 3 weeks ago I recieved a package from the marketing manager Rebecca letting me know that I had won "free Burritos for a year!". So not only do I have a roof over my head I have food to feed myself with:).
I'm sure that I have freaked everyone around me out by being soo calm about this whole situation, but as you can see I never had any reason to worry or doubt what God was doing. Faith is a gift from God and something that is constantly being worked out in our walk with the Lord. I can't tell you enough how Amazing it is to have full peace on where my life is going whether it be a living situation, a financial situation, personal situation or a ministry situation. God is soo much bigger than I can grasp, He knows Emily @1, Emily @25 and Emily @65. Thank you Lord for allowing me to know you, please continue to prove to me that you are in control.
