My biggest goal in life is to be pleasing to the Lord, but sometimes I think that I let things in my life get the best of me. Little things that I let turn into HUGE things that really in the end are nothing. I have to realize once and for all that I do and cannot control the actions of those around me. I can't fix everyone. And I shouldn't try. That is the hardest lesson to learn. I am definitely the type of girl that hates any kind of problem. I guess it's a little ridiculous to admit, but I'm most certainly a lollipop and rainbows kinda chick. I don't think I'm delusional though, I mean I get it...people have issues...but I have to learn to not take things so personal and just be me, work on me, and be in control of me..and let others do them...
At the end of the day, that is my biggest struggle, and it is completely ridiculous. I know the Lord is working in my life though, I love knowing that He is completely planning out my future and that He knows all. That is so comforting. I'm excited to know that even with all my insecurities and struggles, He is right there guiding my silly self. I love knowing that even though the things that are going on in my life are so little and insignificant He truly cares!
I have also been thinking lately about how satan lies to us. He makes us believe things that simply are not true, and once we allow that it is hard to reclaim that area. My thought life is something I battle with. Like I said..I let little things fester and they can easily take control of me. With that said...this post by Joyce Meyer really helps me http://www.joycemeyer.org/OurMinistries/EverydayAnswers/FeaturedHandouts/scripturesforasoundmind.htm
I'm really trying to enjoy this summer. I'm taking a couple of online classes, but nothing really pressing, and I'm trying to relax as much as possible before I graduate because I really have no clue where I will be working or what I will be doing after that. I treasure these moments of complete carelessness. It's awesome to go to work for a few hours and then spend the rest of the afternoon sewing, crafting, or just laying in the pool. Wonderful!
Have a blessed Monday:)
Oh and b/c I said I would post a picture of the dress i made this weekend..i guess i will...not the best picture..lighting stinks...oh how I need a new digital camera...my iphone camera simply doesn't cut it.
I initially paired the dress with this belt..but changed it to wear to work..love the outcome..so easy and simple!! Wish you could see the detail on the pattern.
