Snow Day Musings....

I really think that God knows what we need. I had a really bad Monday, and Tuesday, we had a snow day. It may not be for the reasons that I think, but for the simple fact that God wants me to sit quietly and think of all my blessings, and the plan that he has for my life.

This Christmas is going to be a very happy time. God has given me so much and I am thankful for it all. I am a very talented person, and the job I was in was just not the one for me. There is nothing wrong with me walking away from this. I will find my niche somewhere....no one said that the first job you ever have is going to be the one that you stay in.

I am so very glad that I am going to Spain. My parents are really nice to let me move back until I get back on my feet. I felt a little guilty when faced with the idea, but my mom doesn't just give me hugs. She told me that I am a person who contributes, and not a person who uses her parents. I hope I never get to that point. I am sure I'm not that person.

I am a person who likes to dream and likes to pine away for things. My issue in life has been that I am very good at dreaming of my future, not so good at making it happen. I intend to make that happen, professionally and personally.

I am going to see what God has in store for me. I love the fact that I chose to buy some books to do a paper between my second and third years of UNISSIST. The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila has really spoken to me. Here's a few things that I have gotten from it.

• God sends us challenges because he cares for us and knows we can handle them.
• Being humble means realizing that without God, nothing good can happen.
• God might take time in making a decision, and it might not be the one we want, but it's for the best. We need to surrender ourselves to his will.
• True, lasting peace is only to be found in God.
