My Confession
I have something to confess.... No it isn't anything too bad. I am extremely prideful so this is hard for me to say but...
My life is far from perfect, my house is infested with roaches and mice, I don't cook for myself very often if at all (I would rather eat something out of a can or frozen bag because it's easier), my car breaks down every three months faithfully, I am stressed with all I have to do at work, and I am lonely.
Because I had so many people tell me in the beginning of my time living here in Orlando that I couldn't do this job, or I am too young to be living by myself, I've secretly wanted to prove them wrong. I wanted to show them that I can do this and rub it in their faces when I had success. All while keeping the humble facade. When I went back home for Lindsay's Graduation, I had this secret wish to appear to everyone that I had it all together. I wanted everyone to think that my life was turning out just the way that I planned it. That here in Orlando I was just skipping through daisies, my life was so great.
That's not true though. The truth is very simply this.... I can't do this. All those people were right, I personally can't do this job, or take care of this house or even myself, but I do have a God who can. If I am willing He will use me still and take care of it all, and everyone will know that it was all Him.
Lord, I don't see what you're doing but I am willing to follow you.

I actually took care of this one myself! I had company over so I had to but I was so proud of myself! |
