It has been far too long since I have sat down to write, but let me tell you - the last couple months have been crazy. I assure you I am not hiding (like my crazy cat in our Christmas tree = trouble hah), and my lack of posts is not due to a lack of things to say - but has been a result of a busy schedule, and a somewhat intentional break to again be present in life.
But since I've been a little M.I.A. and before it all of a sudden becomes 2015 (bah!!!!?!?!), I thought I'd share a little bit of what I've been up to since last time.
From August through November my schedule was irregularly crazy busy as I took a temporary position working for my dad as his administrative assistant while his regular gal was on maternity leave. It was a huge blessing, and it's always cool to see my dad in action (I've filled in for his assistant before) but man did it take awhile to adjust to the schedule. Having been "in between things" (ahh, the phrase that comes so quickly to my tongue and that I've come to love and hate, when people ask "what are you doing?") for so many years now, I've come accustomed to the life of being on my own schedule. Adjusting to a full time position for 3 months was simply that, an adjustment. So naturally after getting used to it and gelling with the way of life as a full-time employee, it was then time for my dad's assistant to come back to work and for me to re-adjust to figuring out what life outside of work looks like.
The timing of my position ending couldn't have been more perfect though, as later that week, my husband and I jetted off to Seattle for a long weekend getaway in honor of our 3rd (!!!) anniversary. It was fantastic. Having just spent a couple really busy months and my husband being in a busy season at work, we had been passing each other through the night. Being able to get away from the norm and explore a new city was exactly the medicine that we needed to nourish our relationship.
We ate our hearts out, explored the city, took some anniversary photos (can't wait to see how they turned out!), had a really great time hanging out with our wedding photographers who are two incredibly sweet, lovely ladies who live in Seattle, and really just flew by the seat of our pants. It was so amazing to see Chris unplugged and really enjoying just being. We decided that this type of vacation is a must-do for us when things are getting a little crazy. Not to mention, we fell in love with Seattle.
Besides our vacay, the past month has been full of lil house projects, my weekly bible study and volleyball matches, and beginning to prepare my home and heart for the holidays. Although it's always difficult to wrestle with the questions that often flood my head, "What am I doing with my life? What steps should I take to pursue my dreams? Where are you leading me Lord?" - I have been intentional about not letting stress or worry get the best of me, and instead being thankful for the time God has given me to be fully supported by my husband and trusting that I'll take the necessary steps as the Lord guides me.
As for the rest of December, my goal is to be invested in the life God has given me and to really soak up the precious moments that surround the celebration of our Savior's birth. I'm anxious to see what God has for me the rest of this month, and for the next year that is rapidly approaching.
Praying that your December is full of love, joy and the peace of Christ this holiday season.
xoxo
