Blessed by Busy: For the last six months my life has become so busy that I have had a hard time finding moments of peace. (Even to write which is my release and why I hardly blog right now). It's been a whirlwind of selling a house, planning a wedding, buying a house, unpacking, learning the ropes of wife, step-mom, home owner in a different part of town, getting ID's changed, names changed, just everything and then you add on the constant flux at work where my team has sustained hit after hit from either turnover or promotion. Something had to give.
What ended up giving was my sanity and my Jason Aldean concert. Last weekend I was suppose to go see him in concert and I was looking forward to it. See, Florida Georgia Line is the second act and I was pretty excited. Until the day came and suddenly I found myself at church instead of the concert. Turns out I needed God this week. I needed time in prayer and with God at His house.
The week didn't get less crazy. We ended up losing another employee and because of that, I had to send my husband out of town without me so I can work this weekend. I am disappointed but I am trying not to worry. Trying!
Oh and I traded in my Jeep because simply put, it had to be done. I decided I wanted a pickup this time. Crazy as this sounds, I am totally in love with my truck! I had driven my husbands a couple of times and realized that you sure can see better. 
So, I decided on Burnt Orange and although I have never named a vehicle before, this one is definitely "BEVO".
I have been praying lately. Praying for my friends who I don't see much because we got busy, married, and complicated lives all at the same time. Praying for my family, of course. Praying for peace at work. Praying for Ebola victims and for friends I use to have who I lost contact with that they find the happiness they deserve. I even pray for my dogs, that they listen better and stop driving me crazy. I love the little pains! The funny thing about this praying is that I have realized it makes me feel better. For a long time, I was sad about some things that happened in the past and some hurt I experienced when friendships or relationships ended. Now, I pray for those people and it has given me peace. For a long time I worried about marrying and having kids and now, I thank God for the amazing life He made me wait for and the husband, child, and the house in the country where I can find peaceful moments to pray. 
How could you not be peaceful when this is your backyard, complete with a little red barn and the other homes are an acre away?
What I found out, mostly is that in the middle of busy, when I am missing my friends, my down time, and my alone time, that I am surrounded by blessings like children who love me, family who needs me, and a couple of crazy dogs who think I hung the moon. Life changes and it is up to me to change with it and make it a positive without worrying too much because in the end, God has this and today, everyday is the good life.
