Quick update...

So it's been a while since I've paid any attention to this lonely bloggity of mine. And as much as I want to find a legitimate excuse that justifies my abandonment of this small web space of mine I can only come up with my laptop breaking down but that would be a lie and lying is a sin. Duh. These past two months have been, let's say, interesting. For one, my parents and I completely lost our home and we've now been living with my sister and brother in law for the past month. We're super grateful that they've so generously opened their home. The only downside is that now I have to sleep in the home office on a twin, air mattress that always reminds me how much I miss having, oh I don't know, a BED!! Whatever. At least it's making me practice humility because honestly, nothing is more humbling than sleeping on an air mattress that makes farting noises every time I move. And the fact that my sister and brother in law have Netflix I've grown to develop a fascination for reality television and a little comedy show called The Office, which by the way has become more of an obsession. Say Yes to the Dress and Michael Scott are seriously making me anti social. Or perhaps a little emo because all these wedding reality shows remind me that I'm still single, which is worse than sleeping on an air mattress every night. Ok, I'm kidding. Being single is great. Except when you watch chick flicks.

Life is like a bowl of fresh strawberries mixed in with rotten tuna and when you mesh them together you make strawtuna. [Yes, I just compared life to food and made up a new word] Don't hate on my similes or my word making skills. Anyways, back to my highly philosophical point. Life is a mixture of bitter sweet moments. For the past few months I've been an unemployed, 21 year old,  graduate student whose had no luck finding a job that will finally get her a decent phone with texting. Because as of now my smartphone still has no texting and I've recently added some clear tape to the keyboard because it's falling off. I'm ghetto, I know. In the midst of waiting it's easy to get anxious, or desperate if your like me. It's so easy to make a huge deal out of the small things that can easily get better or get fixed. I know a job will come along eventually if I continue to search for it, I know the Lord will provide my family with our own place to live, and I know I'll finally be the cool kid who has texting just like all the other cool kids do. It's always comforting to know that the Lord truly has every circumstance under His control. He doesn't abide under mans limited time but works out all things in His perfect timing.  I do have to say that these months of having no work and no homework to do has really lead to me to be in scripture and in prayer more than I've ever been before. I don't have as much distractions around me that I sometimes allow myself to keep me from spending time in scripture or prayer. But even when we are busy our intimacy with the Lord should not change and it should not be considered less valuable. I keep on telling myself this because next January I'll be starting the teaching credential program and I have a feeling I'll have no life. Jesus, I give you permission to strike me with lightning if I don't read my bible. :)

When life throws you strawberries and rotten tuna, make strawtuna. Ok, that's gross. When life gives you lemons make lemonade. But make a bomb lemonade with a slice of lemon on the edge of the glass and everythang'. Make the best out of every circumstance you're in and be confident in the fact that God has every single aspect under his control. He will never give us more than we can handle.
