Believe in yourself

Happy Saturday!


I am going to be honest with you, this week has defiantly not been one of my best. It has actually been pretty crappy at times. After a major breakdown I found myself in the school guidance counselor's office on Thursday. I never thought it would help but talking to somebody I barely knew about everything going on helped, big time. I have learned a lot about myself this week. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy and I totally believe that. I thought it would get easier once school started. I wouldn't be obsessed with how my Memphis friends were spending their Friday nights, I would be interacting with people, and I would be hopefully moving forward. Well, this week I felt like I took 20 steps back. Starting school has actually made it harder. It is really hard to love my new city, town, and school when you never wanted to start over. This third move has taught me a lot! One of those things is, life doesn't put on its blinker for you when it is about to take an unexpected turn. it isn't going to give you a head ups, your just expected to go with it and have faith that it is leading you to an amazing place with new memories and adventures. I know God lead me here for a reason, I am just still wondering WHY???? I wish I could sit down down with him face to face and ask :) 


The two pictures aren't anything special but they mean something big to me. The first is of inspirational quotes and bible verses on post it notes. My goal is to start each day with a positive view and attitude. The second is a Dove wrapper. I opened it up at lunch one day this week and thought that saying was a total sign from God. It is probably his way of smacking me in the forehead. :) I looked at that wrapper all day and it is on my desk so I can see it everyday. It is really scary and stressful getting out there in a new school with all new people but I am going to believe in myself. 


I am sure I will have more bad days but I figured I might as well embrace that it is a bad day then, on the days that are great I will enjoy them even more. I feel so blessed to have an amazing Memphis family who loves me no matter where I live. That is true southern hospitality. 


Miss every single one of ya'll!!
