Now What

I graduated with my master's in counseling in September. After having been in school for 18 consecutive years, I feel so weird not having to worry about a class presentation to prepare, paper to write, or articles to read. This has been both a nice change and stressful.

I have been looking for a job for the past 4 months, which was definitely a trying time. Last Friday, I had an interview for an internship and I got the position! Although the small stipend is practically  nothing, I am so blessed to know that during this whole time God had a plan for me. I know that He led me to this position and He will use me. For now, I just need to be open to being an instrument for Him. 

It's so easy to doubt God when life doesn't seem to be going according to my plan. I am always reminded that He has this all under control and all I need to do is STOP WORRYING! Being the anxious person that I am, this is a lot easier said than done. However, I am once again reminded that God takes care of me and always will. 

 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today." -Matthew 6:34

Newbie

I've been wanting to start blogging for a while but never seemed to find the time. Now that I've graduated and am looking for a job, I have much more time on my hands than I'm used to having. I definitely have been enjoying this new found free time.  I've neglected my painting, drawing, and crafts for a while and it's been so much fun to get back at it! I also recently started knitting and am in love. 

One of the biggest parts of my life is my boyfriend, Omar. Friends since High school and this year we're celebrating our 6 year anniversary! Currently we are long distance: San Diego to Inland Empire. It's definitely not fun being far from each other but he makes it all worth it. God blessed me so much by putting this beautiful man in my life.
