I haven't blogged since Christmas. I read the happenings that my friends present so beautifully in my Blogger feed, but I find myself completely unworthy of a decent post. Sometimes i find myself facing the constant feeling that blogging isn't for me, but other times there's a little gem here and there.

Some gems to share:
-This morning, after completely forgetting the forecast, I happily realized that a blanket of white was supposed to fall in the middle of the night. I peeked through my blinds, and there it was. Some nice snowy goodness to greet us "Good Morning", and not "Good Morning, I am here to further alter various school years and frustrate those who face the undesired effects of them". By mid-day, it had tipped its hat goodbye, only to return some other time. After a white Christmas, a week-long 6.5 inch snowstorm, and the snowy surprise that was this morning, I feel I'm ready to anticipate spring and the sweet smells, the bright colors, and the warm sunshine that come with it.

-I am finding myself spending more and more time with my guitar. I have no idea of technique or theory with how to play, but I look up chords and tabs of my favorite songs, and let the music become my special outlet. It is easily becoming my new favorite hobby.

-I am changing my lfiestyle. Food has become the enemy, and my health is becoming a huge impact. My NEW focus? I found it in John 4:34... “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work. I am in constant prayer that this will be my unchanging will for the next several months. A typical health plan lasts about a week for me until I binge and turn back to food to help me feel good. I am focusing more now on the will of the Lord for me, and other important things to my life, so that my dependance on food that tastes good will dwindle as much as it needs to. I will let the reward come naturally, taking as long as it takes. :) The long journey begins now.

-Marcus and I have begun attending a new weekly Bible study, and a new church here in Athens. The warm welcome and new lessons that come with it are filling my heart with joy each week. I just cant get enough of the Lord and his blessings.
