Getting Back to Basics

Take time to discover who you are, and be your own person. --Paula Bachleda Koskey

So I haven't posted since my divorce was final. No, it's not because I've been so busy dating. Actually, more like I've been busy making an idiot of myself. That is a story that actually will not end up on this blog. Also, there's been drama in my personal life that also will not end up here. I know, I know. I normally write everything here, but the drama was not my personal drama so it's not my place. It has, however, kept me from writing. But I think I have some better perspective on the personal situations so I feel better.

One thing I do want to say for now, though, is that our God is a mighty and loving God. I really don't deserve the fact that He saves me from myself quite often, but I'm so thankful He does. Just having the personal relationship I have with Him is a blessing, but He gives us so much more. And I will also say, I really do need protection from myself. I could get myself in all kinds of trouble. I've been contemplating bad relationships, job choices, etc. I think I have just been so weirded out by the divorce that everything has felt up in the air. But I've been looking to God for help and yesterday, I just felt a sense of peace wash over me. It's as if God actually said to me, "Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46)." I feel like I'm being reminded that with the divorce, now is not the time for me to make ANY big decisions. The only decision I am content with is to go back to school. I enrolled at Southern Wesleyan College last week. Classes for my cohort will start in February as long as I can get all the paperwork taken care of in time. Whew! Big step, but I've needed to do it for a long time!
