My dad is awesome. I could have 100 blogs filled w/ stories of how blessed I am with a great earthly father. That is a big reason I understand God as my heavenly father.
I had a 2hr delay today and my phone rang during my planning...why is Dad calling? He knows I'm in school!!!
He wanted me to hear the radio, "Daddy let me drive" by Alan Jackson. Just called to say he loved me! :)
I am lucky to be his daughter!

Getting Control
I need to preface this post by saying I truly believe in God. Jesus is my Lord and has a good plan for me. However, am I just to sit and wait? There are some things I can control.
I need to keep the communication lines open between me and God, not just my prayer life, but in daily Bible reading- soaking up the word. I am now going to be better keeping up my end of my relationship with God. I'm dedicating myself to a reading plan and joining a lifegroup with women because I feel I really need strong women around me (I have plenty at home but that's 700+ miles away).
I need to get my weight under control.
I can control what food I have in my house.
I can control whether I exercise or not.
I am going to start taking control of what I can so I'm not spinning out of control.
And Lord- you can have all the rest!!!
So Goal for this week- not only will I dedicate to daily bible study (I'm starting w/ 30 days into Psalms & Proverbs) but I am going to get my eating habits under control.

New Perspective
To be completely honest, I'm wiped and it's not even 9:30am.
I work in lists so here's what's going on:
1. School
2. Church
3. Me
I could go on and on, but why complain, nobody wants to read that and I love it everything I've committed to. However, I started seeing myself waiting for the end. 1 month to competition, choreography will be done Friday, November I get to go home!!! Why am I living for the end? I mean, yes there should be an end in sight, but isn't the journey the exciting part?
I had coffee w/ my wonderful friend Jen who is so inspirational and creative. She rocks. Anywho, we decided after coffee I'd help her look for old wood & metal for a set she's building at church. We got in the truck & I asked where to go. I was just driving to get there. She kept looking out the window, finding all this random stuff that would work and I would U-turn to load it in. I found myself slowing down, not driving to get the the 1st destination and just enjoying the ride. By the time we got to the original destination the truck bed was completely full. We had so much fun!!!! As I left Jen, I started thinking what else am I missing out on because I'm too concerned w/ getting all my checks on my check list finished? So, what do I enjoy? It really is the little things in life. I now am going to sip & enjoy my coffee, enjoy teaching my students instead of just worrying if they're obtaining it all, & I'm going to write more. So hopefully I'll be better about updating this! Here's to the journey!!! I love a good road trip :)
