#FBF

So I was reflecting on the time I have spent Blogging #flackbackfriday to May 2011. A month or so in I came into a place where I was trying to set goals and see where I was going to go in life. Below you will find the list I complied.
  • be a bridesmaid in a wedding 
  • run a half marathon 
  • own my own car 
  • adopt a child 
  • write a book 
  • NYC 
  • Travel to England to see/meet my family 
  • Snow Ski 
  • Own Cowgirl Boots 
  • Buy something at Lululemon 
  • do a mini- Triathalon 
  • Be on a council/ run for an office 
  • be a fiesta/event royalty
So I have only crossed one item off the list, and that is a-okay. We are in process for foster with hopes to foster to adopt. One day I still hope to travel to England and NYC- and now I live a lot closer to both.The discussion on my progress of each one could go on and on but honestly some would be excuses and nobody has time for that.

I have moved forward from this list, and honestly I have forgotten this list, along with the state(Texas)/state of mind I was in when I created this list. God has chosen to #wreckthislife and I love it! We don't have control, does this mean to not set a plan?: No, but we do need to know that ultimately all plans are in his hands and to faithfully and prayerfully enter into all plan making with the understanding that it may not look like we think.

A normal almost 27 year old would have marked some of these things off this list prior to when it was written a few years ago. I struggle when I am mocked for not doing one of these things specifically but I have to remember that its not my timing, its HIS plan and what else do I need than that?

planning on blogging more...

we will see how that goes....

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through new eyes

LIFE: Processing the Unknown

In the 90's, television and books portrayed the family with 2.5 children and a house with a two car garage where dad worked outside of the home and mom had dinner ready in the evenings. The show would continue with grandma and grandpa popping in for a visit or a trip to their house.  My 90's family did not have this imagery- and that's okay. I grew up with divorced parents, and the parents I lived with full time both were from countries other than the US- meaning aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents all still lived in their respective native land. This meant that I did not necessarily have the same visitation schedule as families who all live in the same city, state, or country.  I know from pictures that the first time that my Nana ( my dads mom) Sheila, from England, came to visit was the spring after I was born. I have pictures of myself in a stroller with my Nana below the Tower of Americas. The next time I would get the opportunity to be with my grandmother was arou

REVIEW: You Can Do This by Tricia Lott Williford

Tricia and her book baby {necessary information} I received this book from the author as a part of the launch team for free. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher. {review: You Can Do This } Tricia is a clear and concise writer detailing some hurtful and raw points in her life. Through every chapter there is a reflection assignment to help you work through the tough spots in your life and find the confidence in Him to work through them. She sprinkles quotes from strong famous people, as well as strong Biblical truths. In chapter 5 she reminds you that the comment section does not have the right to get you down. On page 62, Tricias therapist reminds us that, " Everybody has a chapter of their life they don't read out loud." She introduced me to 6 word stories- which I am very excited to give a try. In chapter 9 she introduces us to her second love story. "No for now isn't no forever"!!!! Every cha
