So, It has been a long time since my last post....Basically because....Nothing exciting really has happened, and I didn't have anything to say. But I've come to realize what moving cross country and away from home for the first time has taught me. So, for the first, 3 months, life in Cali was awesome. (It still is, but I'll get to that) I was on that just moved across country, drove 2500 miles by myself, girl power high. It really seemed like nothing could go wrong. And even though nothing major has gone wrong, life just seemed to get...well...boring. But, life shouldn't be boring in Southern California should it? That's just it though. Life is just as hard to actually live in Southern California as it is in Ohio. Change the people, change the weather, change the gas prices. Life is still hard. You still have to make that decision to have joy in your life. It doesn't just magically appear. You have to choose to live life. Moving to a different place doing just magically make all your problems disappear, or magically make it so you don't have any problems. But Thanks be to God, I moved out when I did. Because If I had moved out a year ago, a year and a half ago, two years ago, etc. I wouldn't have been able to realize this. I would have just been running away, and I would have been devastated to realize that life doesn't get better just because you're in a new place. You have the power to make life better where ever you are. You just have to choose Joy. You have to choose to be happy.
And with that, I'm going to end with, even though I realize all this now, it doesn't make it any easier to do. But I know my God is great, and if he has gotten me this far, I know he's not going to stop now.
"Be Joyful always. Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
