Back to Me

Well I am happy to say I that I got into the apartment that I wanted and am finally getting settled in. It's a great feeling after being out of place so to speak for the past four months. I have my own space again, my own room, my own bathroom, my own big closet and all with a great view of downtown. I've had all of these things before but somehow it seems so much sweeter now. I feel peaceful and very thankful. There are still many things I need to work on but right now it seems that things are flowing and this only encourages me to stay focused.

So now that I am back in my own space I feel that it is time to get back to me. I've put some things on hold because of all of my personal belongings being stored away and just not having a real place to work on the things that are important to me like my photography, writing, and quiet time with me and the things I need to nurture my spirit. I've realized over the past few months that there are so many little things that can distract that I really need to consciously remind myself to make the time.

I also want to take some time to really take a look at how to evolve myself. There are a couple of things that have been on my mind but I know I need to pray about them and come up with a plan on how to get those things started. I know I've attempted a few times to do some things and it fell through so I think maybe the fear of that has been holding me back. Fear paralyzes and faith moves us forward. I need to remember that.

Getting back to me is an important part of this whole journey I think. God's given me a way and what He's given is inside me. So pour me out like water...

When I open myself I am free.

Fully alive and living...

Expression, love, laughter.

When I am poured out like water.

THIS is the best of me.

Thing to remember: Take time to nurture your spirit. God's given me a way and what He's given is inside me.

Update: As of today I have $2800 paid off, have a new home, and am tithing at 40%!
