How to Keep Your Sanity While Traveling for 10 Days...

Welcome to my first big "travel blog" of the year. We are back to square one where I will be a distant memory in your life, when suddenly you wonder, "hey, what happened to that one girl?" Well, I'm staying connected here on my blog. I maybe gone for 10 days, but I am still alive and well! Now that we've established that this blog will help keep you an upfront memory in your mind, I can let you know that I will try extremely hard to keep this blog updated daily. There will be days that it will be short and sweet, while other days I'll have had time to reflect on the life that I so charismatically live.

Tip #1-Always bring Nyquil

Adjusting to time change isn't a

lways easy. Even though I less than five hours of sleep last night, I can't seem to fall asleep when I lay my head down. It could be the fact that my body thinks its only 8:30 p.m. at home or that I just got done working out a little bit ago. Either way, I need to get adjusted so when i have to wake up at 8:00 a.m. EST (aka 5 a.m. at home), I won't die.

Enter Nyquil. Although I don't think this has much effect on me, it helps me sleep deep and feel refreshed in the morning. In an effort to not go into too much detail...Always bring Nyquil.

I didn't say before but I'm in Valdosta, Ga. for a drag race. It will be my first drag race like this. I'm excited to see what it will be like! Thanks for coming to check out day number one on the 10 day travel adventure that is my life! Please comment and let me know what you want to hear. I miss you all so much!

 

Life lesson #135

Life’s Uncertainty

Just think for a second. If everything in life was scripted, known ahead of time, or planned out, we would be so incredibly bored. We wouldn’t know the feelings of excitement or even disappointment. Although it may seem like we wouldn’t want to experience disappointment, it allows us to grow and reach new levels in our walk along the “life” road.

My life at the moment seems a little upside down. That’s the feeling when you think you are comfortable in a certain situation or circumstance and suddenly its not what you think. Upside down. I really felt my life was running in a good direction. But it was actually wasn’t. I relied on others for my happiness. I looked for confirmation from others and when it went away, I felt alone and unhappy. That’s not me. That’s not what I do but it happened. I am that joyful person that always pushed through the problems that life presented me.

But now something amazing happened. I was delivered. And not in the sense that you think when a preacher says the word, but I was really taken out of a situation and brought back to the best place. I think I was honestly too weak to say that my life wasn’t in order. The Lord delivered me from the situation.

Following the Lord isn’t easy but its so worth it. Even when it seems like the world around you is crumbling, He is there and will always be there. It’s awesome to know He’s there for me.
