The Joy in "Square 1"
"Square 1 is better than square miserable!"
One of my very favorite people on this earth said this to me today and I loved it so much that I had to post it for each one of you!! It says it all - when we enter into new seasons of life - whether it is a move, new job, the ending or beginning of a relationship - sometimes people can get bogged down and overwhelmed with a defeated attitude saying, "gosh - I have to start all over again!?!" But my friend who uttered the fantastic phrase above put a whole new spin on that season of life - a joyful perspective that so many neglect at the commencement of a major life change.
Thanks to my precious friend for reminding me of the sweet excitement and happiness found in "square 1".
Choosing joy!

Well hello again....
Holy, I'm the worst blogger, Batman!! To all of you, I apologize for my departure from the blogging world!! Sooooo much has happened - God is SO good!!
Welp, I ran in my first 1/2 marathon on April 24th - and I am hooked! It was such an incredible weekend! Two of my favorite people met me and my roommate in Atlanta and we all headed up to Nashville for a weekend of friends and fun!! Let's talk about how AWESOME my roommate is - she ran the WHOLE 1/2 with me - having only run 6 miles in preparation for the race - what I'm trying to say is - SHE'S a baller and it was so special to share the experience with her! We finished the race and just gave Him the glory!! How awesome is it that He gave us the strength and endurance to do something that we NEVER dreamt we could do!! I am definately signing up for another one - who's with me?
The weeks following the race have been amazing...
When I was 13 I started a "bucket list" of sorts for concerts that I have to see before I die. Founding such a list as a teeny bopper, my "must sees" have drastically changed over the years - from Nsync to Coldplay - my taste in music has definitly transformed over the past 12 years. Well, last Friday - I got to mark another artist off the list, Van Morrision. Being my dad's only daughter with brown eyes, "our song" has always been "Brown Eyed Girl" so needless to say, Van has had and will always have a very special place in my heart. Getting to hear him sing it live was an experience I will never forget - I loved every minute of it!
The weekend only got better when one of my friends from Clemson surprised me and flew into ATL from PA for Camp Dance! It was such a WONDERFUL surprise and thanks to him we started and shut down the party on Saturday night! It was awesome and a treat to see such a wonderful friend!
Gosh - it is so great to write down all of the wonderful things that have happened over the past few weeks! It is easy to choose joy when I see how richly HE has blessed my life!
Again, I'll say it, God is good, and for that I will eternally give Him thanks!
