Long time, no see. I feel obliged to give an update as my life has changed drastically since the last time I wrote a blog post. Happily, I shall do so. :)
Around early May, I suddenly had this strong desire to go to school. Yeah, it caught me by surprise as well. I applied in late May, and got accepted in late June and I am writing this blog post from my '''office"'' at my on campus job, where I work as an assistant in the office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is a mouthful, I know. So here I am, living on campus...living the college girl life as a twenty-something, minus the drugs and alcohol, rejoicefully. I've also learned a lot in this short amount of time, have gone through some great experiences, and some that weren't so great. Last week, I allowed a guy with a Reptar tattoo to make an impact on my life which was....well it was. I'll write about that in a book someday when I am a best selling Christian author in Heather Lindsey's tax-bracket. (what a queen.) Anyway, I had a horrible battle with stress, exhaustion, dehydration, and vertigo and cried myself to sleep almost every night for about two months because of it, but Jesus heals and I am literally a new woman. I cannot thank God enough for healing. WOO. In that battle were there also many spiritual battles that came along with it. Jesus' strength is what I got me through August. These days, along with work and school, I am really focusing on maintaining joy. Life really is a fairytale and perception is everything. I stopped allowing myself to dwell in sadness a few years ago, but I never understood the concept of remaining content in every season. Enjoying every little footstep I take. Rejoicing at the beetle that landed on my food instead of being frustrated about it. Taking a moment to breathe and watch each leaf on a palm tray sway in the wind. Life really isn't that difficult. Sure there are difficult times, but it is incomparable to everything else that has been given to us. Love, Deja |
