Moving Forward

So my plan was to get back into my writing and post a blog every week. BUT there a lil snafu in the plans since I don't have easy access to the internet at the time.

A little bit of an update: I started a temp job and since I had been out of work for about a month and a half, it feels really good to have somewhere to go and something to do everyday that doesn't eat into my nights and weekends. While I had all that time to gather my thoughts and figure out where I would go from here (my life story), it gave me time to seek God in what to do and where to direct my attention.

I'm completely changing careers which I've found that as hard as it is to get without any experience it may be harder or just as hard to break into a field after you've had years of experience in one area. My advice to those who are trying to break out of their box is focus on those universal skills you gained that can be used anywhere.

What God also revealed to me was my lack of trust in Him to provide and where it stemmed from. I tell you what, I was shocked. So now begins the process of digging up the root of that mistrust. My church has begun a fast this month and you would think this would be the perfect opportunity to dig into this issue. Yeah well lemme be honest. This has been one of the hardest fasts for me. Everyday I'm just wanting to give up. It's totally been a battle.

But during my time off I gained a fire to develop my things that are on my goals list. If nothing else, I've began to utilize my time more wisely. Started to pay attention to my finances so I will never again be in the same position. Mils told me about a book called the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and has heard great things about it from others. It's in my Amazon shopping cart as we speak.


So.....Where do we go from here? There's one place to go. Forward.
