Still Here...But Almost in a Good Way

I'm still making too many mistakes, but the day just started to look a little brighter :)

Come and give me your hand; I'll take you far away...

So it's one of those days where I keep "finding myself making every possible mistake." And it's only 10:45 am. Oh well...hope things start to look up soon :)

La la la la la la, La la la la la la, La la la, La la la, La la la.

A Day at a Time

It has been SO long since I've posted anything on here. Part of it has been that I've been really busy, part of it is that after spending eight hours a day on a computer at work, I don't really want to sit on a computer (figuratively, of course) until I wake up in the morning and spend another eight hours on one. But, alas, here I sit.

Like I've previously stated, I have been really busy lately...mostly working. But I took Monday off to spend with Nathaniel before he left for a week. We went to the zoo :) It was pretty much a perfect day off; not in the sense that we did anything super amazing or anything. We went to the zoo, then went shopping in Battle Creek, went back to his house, went four wheeling, and watched a movie. But it was one of those "I've needed this for a long time" kind of days. I have been stressing lately about dumb things that, really, I shouldn't worry about. And because of this, I haven't enjoyed my summer very much so far. However, Nathaniel brought me back. While I was sitting there complaining and fretting about my future, he told me to just take things a day at time. Not rocket science, I know. But I haven't been doing that, and I realized that that was the reason I had so much fun last summer. I didn't know exactly what I was going to do the next week, month, semester, etc. And that was okay...actually, it was perfect. I'm completely content (please note the alliteration) with not knowing. I rather prefer it, to be honest. It's okay because God's not up there going, "Well, I hope this plan works out for Jennifer. I'm really not too sure about it. Guess I'll see how things go." If I truly trust Him, then I have nothing to worry about. Of course I know that I shouldn't just sit there and say, "Okay, God, I'm just going to sleep until I know exactly what You want me to do," because I won't find out unless I'm searching, but I'm okay with not knowing the answers right away. Half the fun is finding them out unexpectedly.

Well that was my long ramble of things that don't make sense to anyone but me. But did you know 8,000 Coke drinks are consumed every second?
