Weekend Therapy

Sometimes this is just what the doctor orders so that you don't lose your mind or your marbles..

At a crossroads but waiting....

Have you ever been in a place where you just don't understand what is going on? Have you ever felt like you have lost control of your life? Have you ever felt so disconnected you began thinking you lost all your marbles? If you haven't count yourself blessed. If you have, you are not alone. Lately, I have felt this way and then some. I think my life is at a crossroads but the problem is I don't know what my options are.

Recently, Popeye found out that we have been extended on Guam for a few more years. What do I think about that, you may ask? Well, overall I am happy about that because I do love Guam and I haven't completed my Guam bucket list yet. However, it leaves me in a position of what do I do now? For the past 2.5 almost 3 years, I have been babysitting and volunteering with several organizations. While I have enjoyed these things very much and have learned many valuable lessons on life, I am faced with the question of what now? What's next? Sometimes I feel like I need more. Sometimes I feel like I need less.

It is the middle of February and I don't have a clue as to what I am doing. All I feel is a storm raging in my world. I have been praying and asking God for guidance because at the end of the day, I rather be in His will and do what He has called me to do than to make my own decision and it not be the thing God wanted me to do. So much has happened over the past several weeks, I will write about that in a later post. But the one thing that keeps me grounded is knowing that God has a plan even though I may not understand or see it yet. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)

If you too are feeling confused as to where to go next, what your next assignment is, just be patient. God's timetable is not the same as ours. Know that you are not alone and that its ok to feel clueless. Just don't give up the faith. Sometimes God wants us to wait just a bit longer. If you need some encouragement feel free to comment on this post and we can go through the waiting period together. I promise when God is done with us, we will look back and say it was all worth it. Stay encouraged my friend.

The truth about bugs....

A friend sent this to me on Facebook. It is a funny picture but it is truly the story of my life. Geckos, spiders, ants, wasps, etc they are all trying to kill me.
