First Post!!

    So, I have finally "bit the bullet" and decided to start a blog. I never understood the point of  a journal, if no one will ever read it. But this way, my loved ones can stay up to date with what's going on, so when I see them, we can skip the formal greetings ("How are you", "What's been going on", Where are you working" etc) because no one enjoys that!!  Anyways, through my blog, I will share my endeavors on love, family, friends, and work. I hope these stories are enjoyable and maybe some can be inspirational. : )
    To begin, as I write, I am sitting at home waiting on my company, EBS, to call me for work. I have been waiting for about 2 months now. I was supposed to begin working today, but Hamilton County can't decide where they need my services....in other words, they do not feel that speech therapy is important enough to begin on the first day of school. This theory I am used to since last year I was providing life-changing therapy out of a storage closest with nothing but friendly cockroaches to keep me company. I do love my job, but I am ready to feel appreciated by someone other than the sweet 6 year old autistic child who loves to play with my hair. However, that one statement does make my job worthwhile. : )  So, with prayers and my everlasting faith in the Lord, hopefully I will hear from EBS today with good news.
    Moving on to a more exciting subject, I am enjoying my new life in Chattanooga. I was ready for a change a long time ago when my friends were meeting their significant others and moving on. But God wasn't ready to hand me that. I stayed in Nashville for a year after the realization that change doesn't have to be a bad thing and learned ALOT about myself. God wanted to me to find out who I was without someone else helping me and learn to love myself before anyone else could. And when I finally accomplished that goal, I met the man of my dreams. Someone that loves me inside and out and for the woman that God has helped me to be. Josh. But he is another long and exciting story who deserves his own blog, so stay tuned for that. : )
    Staying up to date with my life doesn't take much. Other than waiting for my company to call and the funny things that Lola (my daughter) does, that is about it. I love my life right now because I feel like it is the calming stream, with a few rocks along the way, before the beautiful and exciting waterfall that always brings a rainbow. I am confident that many big things are about to happen in my life, so as I wait for God's timing, I am going to enjoy the simple life of texting my boyfriend goodnight, eating Lean Pockets for dinner, and watching my favorite shows on TV. So, until then, I give you one of my favorite quotes. God Bless.

"May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you."
