 I find myself praying for a change, a new opportunity, but then I think, "would I actually be brave enough to step into an opportunity if it presented itself?" I'm not sure I am, which leads me to pray for the courage to step into any opportunities God may bring. These are the things that have been swirling in my head the past couple of weeks, and then I started watching through the Patterns of Evidence movies again.

 Historically, I have been a saver. When I was about 11, I was given a small, decorative candle, and I never burned it! Eventually, we stopped burning candles and I gave it away during a room clean. Isn't that sad?! It's one thing to save something for a purpose but I tend to save things for a nebulous "someday" that never comes.
 I'm going to get really niche and reveal something about my childhood at the same time with this post. Most people won't be interested in this, and some will probably think I'm being silly (I will admit to probably overthinking the whole thing), but that's okay. I just want to write the post and if it's only ever for me, I'm okay with that.
 It's been a month since I went on the trip of a lifetime to California. There were so many "firsts" for me, so many opportunities to be brave and step out of my comfort zone, and I learned several key lessons.
 Even in my twenties, I still enjoy a good teen-flick. My friend and I actually ended up watching Hannah Montana at our last girls night :) And classic Disney Channel Originals like High School Musical and Camp Rock are still comfort movies for me. If you're looking for a fun movie for your next movie night with friends, here are my top recommendations!
 You know when you ask a kid what they want to be when they grow up, and they say things like "fireman", "ballerina", "superhero", and "princess"? And then they get older and maybe start becoming a little more practical but still dreaming? Sometimes kids have pretty wild dream jobs. Sure, there is someone who does the job of setting up the dollhouses in The Henry Ford Museum (yes, I thought that would be a fun job) but probably only one person and that is not their whole job. Are you tracking with me?
 These last two months have been crazy busy. I don't know when life was last like this and it's not something I want to become normal. However, it has shown me things about myself and helped me learn.
 I was an adult before I got my first social media account but I'd grown up with friends who had them and hearing all the warnings about how toxic of a place the Internet was and how addicting it could be. So I went in to my Instagram account with VERY strict rules for myself. Six years later, I have learned a lot about regulating social media, making it an enjoyable place, and making it serve me, not the other way around.
 Is it ever easy to make friends? Maybe for some, but even for the most outgoing person, I have to think that making friends as an adult is HARD!
 I know this is not the normal content that I share on here, but baking and cooking are things that I do a lot and (for the most part) really enjoy, so you may see more posts in the future about this kind of things. Bread baking has certainly been a journey and I'm still learning (sourdough, I'm looking at you), but getting to where I am now motivates me to keep going with the process.
This is probably not going to be one of my most popular posts and that's okay, but for those who are interested, I hope you find it helpful! |
