The Beginning

Well, here I am.. It's 1:22 am and I said I was going to bed early tonight... Since I've graduated I've either been on a high energy trip in Chicago, New Braunfels and a Bullard trip tomorrow or completely low energy get-out-of-bed-and-sit-on-the-couch-all-day. I was talking to Joel earlier tonight about all the things I want to do and he told me I needed to stop wanting and start doing. So hopefully this blog can follow the life of .. well, me after graduating from Baylor and starting the greatest and biggest adventure I could ever imagine... life.

I'm in the middle of interviewing with Southwest Airlines and going to email a family friend about working with his  event planning company... but other than that I have not made any plans or goals... I am planning on going to Nashville and New York, but that's about it.

However I have watched some fantastically funny television and movies lately, visited with family and friends, laid out at the pool, thought about working out and went on a shopping spree at target... oh and got back on Weight Watchers!

I know that God has incredible plans for me and He has given me a full heart ready to serve, love, help and experience and instead of sitting in wonder for when that day is coming, I am going to take a deep breath and let Him start His work in me today, right now at 1:29. Everyday I pray that His will shall be done and that I will have the courage and strength to follow Him in all situations, but then I am lazyyyyy!!! So I'm throwing away my laziness, at least for a while and opening my heart up for the roads ahead. Teach me something new everyday, no matter how small Lord and direct my path. My life is to glorify you. Set my heart on fire. That's all I ask, and that's a big thing!

I'm going to write a list of things that I want to do/accomplish/try this summer and in life... so here it goes
-cook something crazy and a little bit difficult
-make a long road trip with friends
-wear size 6 jeans
-go kayaking
-sky dive
-climb a mountain
-go camping and sleep under the stars
-drive in the country with the windows down
-sleep on the beach
-travel the world, one country at a time
-

There's more I know... but for some reason I can't think right now... I'm always positive and know that I am so blessed and that God is always here for me and takes care of me and loves me more than I can imagine but sometimes I feel like I lose my imagination and spontaneity... I want it back. I don't want to not remember my dreams or the things I want to do in life. I don't want to forget what I'm passionate about ever. I need to be reawakened. In the midst of everything that is so great in my life like my family and friends, I need to be set on fire like I mentioned earlier. I need to believe that my life is a great adventure... because after all this is just the beginning.
