Unicorns and Rainbows

I think that there is a correlation between my coffee brewing/drinking habits and my blogging. Today for the first time in forever I made coffee and surprise I am blogging, who would have thought.


Why I haven't written?

To be honest with you, I took a break from my real life. It was just getting too complicated, I was tired of all the tears and heartache it was causing me so for a couple of weeks I decided to be someone different.

This different person was what in my head I thought of as normal, I woke up everyday to go to work, see friends or family, I volunteered, etc, I even went to church on Sundays. It was almost everything I wanted however it wasn't me, I lacked purpose with my life because I had said goodbye, I had to give up my morning quiet times because I couldn't handle listening to God every morning me asking me why I had given up? Why didn't I trust him? or him telling me to stop being foolish and surrender. I also had to avoid a lot of friends because well they know me too well and I didn't want to be found out, that I was running from who I was/am? I also had to avoid them because if I am honest in my heart it hurt to talk to them, I missed being the person they thought I was, I missed the joy I used to have in being that person.

So this normal life, wasn't actually at all what I wanted, but I am glad I branched out. I am glad that for a few weeks I took a break from my life because what I discovered that yes my life is not all about rainbows and unicorns right now but someday it will be. Someday things will not feel so hard or heavy, someday things will be really good again, but right now I know that I am right where God wants me to be. I know that my Abba loves me, that He has better plans for me than I can dream of, I also know as selfish as it may sound that I love waking up every morning with a purpose. This is because every morning I get to wake up and spend time with Abba just me and him, then I know that the rest of the day there is a plan for me, that the plan that God has set before my day and my life is good and is worth the hard times.

So that is why I haven't written, because I have been struggling, because I have been hiding, and because I have been disobedient. So this post is me trying to follow the Lord and get back on track, because although this blog is about me, I hope that people every once in a while will read it and God will use it to speak to them.

Thank you to all of those who have been praying me through this season, thank you also to those of you who have encouraged, loved, and badgered me into remembering who I am.

Love you!

Look its a chicken

Hey Everyone!

I am back!

Thank you for all of you who shared your "concern" over my absence (by concern I mean the threatening emails I got about posting a blog or else...Haleigh...)

So for my first blog in a while I thought I would share these...

This is a true reaction, like for reals. Gotta love Ashley

I hope these made you smile.
