Well it's been uncharacteristically long since my last post. Sorry to keep my avid readers waiting to hear updates from my life. I can, however, say that this post will be a much better post from last time!
-Big 12 Championship: Yep, this happened. We won, barely, finally. I don't care what anyone says, a win is a win is a win. I would love to beat Alabama in the national championship by one point. Nebraska fans believe there to be some conspiracy in the Big 12 that caters to Texas and Texas athletics. Seriously, grow up and don't be a sore loser. teehee. Although this night was fun and I enjoyed being there, I was saddened because I was unable to attend the wedding of one of my best friends from Texas City. Katie, I'm terribly sorry and will try my hardest to make it up to you! I heard that it was an amazing wedding and that you made a beautiful bride
-Job search: HUGE UPDATES. Okay, well I don't exactly have a job but I do have some leads! So the other day I was having some quiet time and just thinking about my time here in Texas City. Well, I don't know how it happened but it did. I started to think about taking my chances and trying to find a job in Austin. Soon this turned into "I should just move to Austin and see where the Lord takes me." So, I came up with the best resume I could (with the help of Carly Gruen-Bradshaw) and talked to the people who know the most people in Austin (mainly brett rodgers with a little john porter sprinkled in there). This is a PSA for all yall in Austin, if you know of a job there for me I would gladly give you my resume. It's not too impressive but I'm a great worker!
-Family: This situation could be a lot better. I need to get out of here before something crazy happens. I think I've changed so much since I've been gone and I can only take so much of my parents and they can only take so much of me. We're just different people and I don't think they understand how I'm not the same person I was when we first left Texas City for Austin. Hopefully something happens soon.
Other than that, things are going pretty well. I'm doing a lot better with having quiet times than I was! God is good! Please be praying that God opens some major doors in Austin. If He does, it's obvious that Austin is where I need to be and not here in Texas City! On another note, I've been listening to a lot of Bluegrass music lately. I don't know what that's about but maybe I'm just getting back to my roots you could say. teehee, The Avett Brothers are a new favorite! If you haven't heard of them, listen to this song and you'll be hooked! Texas Fight!

meh
I haven't written in a while so I just wanted to update and let yall know how things are going. To be honest, these past few days have been pretty lame. I still don't have a job but have applied for a couple. I've been feeling the heat from the parents and it's starting to burn. And I, of course, instead of running as fast as I can towards Jesus, I just get angry and mad and run away from Him. These are the most trying times in which I need to seek Him and His plan over mine. It just seems like everyday I fall short again and again. I'm tired of it. I swear I'm like a microwave, I just turn on and off, on and off. I want to be on the entire time! I want to be on fire for Jesus!
The weird thing is that God completely answered my prayers and took something from my life that was adding to my struggles. It was weird because I knew that this was a total God thing but I didn't realize that this was a sign from him saying "Hey, don't do that anymore. I'm taking this out of your life so you can't." I have found other ways around it but it hasn't been as bad as it used to be. Still, I know that I could have been living my life these past couple of weeks without this struggle in my life. God is testing me right now and I'm failing. Pray that I can pass this test.
I'm still searching for a job as I indicated earlier in the post. If anyone knows anyone working in the Galveston-Texas City area in a government job, please let me know! I've been looking for a job at the County and the City offices. I believe this to be a great stepping stone to whatever comes next. Please be praying that I actively pursue jobs more and more! God just won't provide one for me if all I do is watch TV all day! I need to get my butt up and put some effort into it.
It seems like all of my posts are like this. I want to be able to write about the good God is doing in my life and not just all the wamp-wamp stories. I can report that these past few days with my brother have been good! Also, I got to hang out wit some of my extended family the other day and that was a lot of fun! My cousin came down from San Antonio and we hung out at my aunt's house for a while after taking all the kids to this christmas light show in Dickinson. Praise Him for family time and for time with friends in College Station! I'm going to stay positive and I'm going to keep on pursuing Him the best way I can and know how! I will overcome and I will NOT be mastered by my struggles and shortcomings!
