I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time now. Not even necessarily for other people to hear what I have to say (although if you want to listen Id be glad to talk haha)...but mostly for myself to hear what I have to say. I wanted a place to write out my thoughts, goals, dreams etc. Sometimes I feel like life happens so quickly I dont get a time to sit down and process everything that happens. So this is my place to do that. When it came time for me to name my blog I had to really stop and think about it. I mean I couldnt have something lame or boring it was a big decision haha. So I came up with "living in love", b/c for me that is my number one goal in life. Whatever I do I want to do it out of love. I think love is an amazing thing and it is something I base my entire life on. Sometimes it is a bit more difficult to show love than other times (I mean I am human...and I do get annoyed with people from time to time haha) , but it is something I always strive for. I have a lot of special people in my life that show me love and that I love in return....my wonderful husband, my family, my friends. But the most important love I have in my life is God. What is amazing about God is the love He has for me. When I say I love God with all my heart I know that I get that love in return. I know that there is someone watching over me every day leading and guiding me to where I am supposed to be, who has my dreams and aspirations at heart. I know that I am not alone in this world and it is such an amazing feeling to not have to worry about the future. B/c of Gods love for me I can show love to other people in different ways, and that is my goal for each and every day.
2010 is a big year for my husband and I. The end of August we will be moving to Los Angeles so that I can pursue my acting career SIDENOTE: What an amazing husband I have to move across the country for me to chase my dreams. He even told me the other day that its not just my dream anymore its his dream too! I am a lucky woman :) Anyway... whats funny about this move is that fact that I never thought I would be doing something like this. I had my whole life planned out for myself and that was not on my list of things to do. But what I have learned over the past 5 years is that I am not alone on this journey of life. I have an amazing tour guide up above to point me in the right direction. Everything I had planned for my life right out of high school has not worked out. Literally not one single thing. God took me on a complete different path and I am so thankful now I finally allowed God to take control. It has been a long journey where I have had to go through some really tough moments, but also filled with many many great moments. God has tested me and guided me to where I am now and throughout it all I have grown as a person and through my relationship with God. I have come to a place where I pray about every situtation in my life and I just trust that God will guide me to make the right decision. I now finally feel that I am ready to move to that next step and make that move to California and I can not tell you how excited I am! I have been waiting to do this for 5 years! (Talk about God teaching me patience...wow its been hard haha)
So for this start of 2010 I want to focus on each day. I want to make sure that I show love to each and every person I see and meet. I want to live each day to the fullest and not take things for granted. I guess you could say that is my "New Years resolution"( although I dont really like those b/c I usually pick something stupid and then break it haha). I know where God is taking me, although I dont know what the future holds. But one thing for sure I want to live my life for God and live a life of love. And I know that if I just keep God first everything else will fall into place (with a few ups and downs in between of course!) Everything happens for a reason which is why I know one of the big reasons I didnt move 5 years ago was b/c God wanted Chris and I to take this journey together and I know He has big plans for Chris too. I am just happy to be at a place in my life where I can honestly say with all my heart "If you lead me Lord I will follow, where you lead me Lord I will go." But for now God is leading me into the kitchen to make some dinner b/c I am hungry haha ;) I'll leave you with my favorite bible verse that I try to remind myself of every day. Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added unto you."
