Memorial Day Weekend!

Wow,  it's been FOREVER. Did I forget to mention that I'm a forgetful person sometimes? : )

But I haven't forgotten where I want to go, promise!

Though I had to make a million calls, and stress out, and for a few moments believe it was not in my cards (which is alright if that's God's plan for me)...I finally got in. I'm going to Georgetown University for grad school!!! It just makes me think, timing is everything. I would not have appreciated it so much if I got in, like I wanted, for undergrad. But now that I got in, and it's of my own volition - cuz let's face it, grad school is not a must - AND I'm paying for it, I can appreciate this opportunity so much more.

And though I haven't lost much, I have lost weight. Through eating better, eating smaller portions, bringing my lunch from home, etc. And I've saved a whole lot of money by not eating out, it's amazing how great my wallet feels jajaja Besides that, I'm motivated. I found pictures of myself from back in the day, and I know I can get back there, I did it last year in Colombia, so why not again this year?

Money is rolling in, checks are getting cut, bills are getting paid. It feels phenomenal to be on top of my stuff and doing everything as it should be done. Small victories, because obviously that's how things should go, but victories none the less. And they lift my spirit. Just the fact that I'm in a position to pay these things off is such a blessing.

Life is good. Though it may not go as planned, and I don't do it all correctly, I can't deny that I am blessed and favored. I won't feel guilty for basking in the light God pours down on me - I will work everyday to be worthy of it, because one blessing is not enough to make me happy and keep me sitting. Everyday is an opportunity to operate as an agent for the Lord, just because I did good today and I've gotten what I wanted doesn't mean I'll stop trying to walk that path.

You'll find in life that bad will come and try to rock you when things are at their best. It's no coincidence that on Monday I found out about getting into grad school, and on Tuesday I found out how I was betrayed and how in turn I hurt other people.  It's enough to make me think that I don't deserve the good in my life, that I'm not worthy of those blessings. But it's not true. And I might think, well then those people I hurt are just out of luck, but no, no person is my enemy. We are all just weak enough to think that our battles should be fought on this dirt, when really my battle is with something else entirely.

Anyway, I'm so glad I'm faithful, and that by going to church I'm reminded constantly of the good there is yet to be done.

Everybody have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!
Love yaaaaaa! Muah!
