It's been a week of painful truths. I have had to come to grips with a lot of things in my life. It seems that when it rains it pours. I have been struggling for more then a month with every aspect of my life. I would use the excuse that I was just pmsing and was overly emotional. Well two cycles have passed and it doesn't seem that life has lightened its grip around my neck! Melodramatic, I know. But proof that it couldn't just be pms! hehe It does seem that when God starts doing his work, whether it's challenging or encouraging it comes all at once or in waves. So far I would say this has been the longest I've experienced emotional stress in a while. I could say I'm lucky. Here I am talking about months, but my first sentence is talking about this week. Well I would hope, I can't guarantee, that whatever it was that I desperately needed to get through my thick skull is finally starting to penetrate! God can do infinitely more then I could ever dare to ask or hope for in my life. I need to keep focused on that truth.
I finally got the pictures of our "girls night out" done.

I'm blessed with friends like these!
I'm listening to my U2 collection and sadly I have not listened to all 400+ tracks I bought on iTunes for my iPod. I'm trying now to make it a point to listen to every song. It's odd to think back at how long I've loved this band! It brings back memories of my awkwardness growing up. Realizing I could like my own music and not *just* what my brother brought home. Though I would say my brother Brian introduced me to most of my favorite bands, even to this day.
So with all the changes that have taken place in my life I'm surprised that I have not been more committed to making new changes considering I usually get inspired in the new year! I think because there has been so many things happening I haven't had time to sit down and think about what I want in this year for my life. I'm starting to make a list of things I would like to accomplish, whether its done in a year or longer I don't care. I finally feel something changing inside of me. Sometimes it's painful to realize that change is necessary, and other times it can be exciting to face the new possibilities.
Well I guess I'm done...
