I'm through making plans

I determined recently that I need to be more honest with people. The best way to do that and clearly communicate my thoughts is through writing. I have trouble at times expressing my thoughts and feelings with words. So, today I'm being honest about the future.

I'm not making any future plans. I'm not answering anymore "Where do you want to be in _____ years?" questions. Why? I'm glad you asked.

Growing up, I had this picture in my head that I would be married at a young age, at least before I reached 23. I turned 23 a year and a half ago, and have no wedding in the near future.

2015 was a rough year for us, as mentioned in a recent post. I've had to come to term with the idea that I have no control in wherre my life goes. God has given me some choices, but He has the final say.

AND I DIDN'T LIKE THAT AT ALL.

I like to know how my day/week is going to go. I don't really like it when surprise interruptions happen. But, I'm having to let go and realize that sometimes the surprise can lead to the best outcome. Not all surprised are bad.

So, since this is the year I've decided to step out of my "comfort zone", I'm also challenging myself to not freak out when the unexpected comes along. I just have to keep reminding myself. Help me out, please?

Oh, do you remember when I asked for prayer about the breakout I had on the inside of my elbow? Well, I'm pleased to announce that it is gone! I used Aveeno Baby's Soothing Relief Moisture Cream. I got it from Target, but you can probably find it at Walmart, too. Just look in the baby section. I also use it on this breakout I have had on the back of my neck for YEARS, and its almost gone. (I also switched to a more natural shampoo and conditioner when my hair started curling more, so that helped.) Thanks for the prayers!
