New Adventure

Today has been an adventurous and thrilling day. Kimberly came to visit my sister and I from San Antonio, Texas. It is amazing to see her, last time I saw her she was a young girl, and now I she has grown up to be a beautiful young lady. I ran around today accomplishing none of the goals I had set for that day, but still having a wonderful time. Later that evening a large group of friends came over for dinner, my sister and I made fajitas while Amy, Saite, and Melody made a no bake cheesecake and icecream dessert. We had such an amazing time just hanging out at the house. It seemed like every 10 minutes or so the doorbell would ring and another friend arrived at the house. I met a new friend tonight, and hope to see her much more. (Hi M-Lo!!!)

I thank the Lord so much for the amazing friends he has brought into my life. It is such a blessing to be able to have the most amazing seasoned friends and the incredible new friends to encourage you day-to-day.

Lately I have been thinking a great deal about the opportunity the Lord brings our way. For as long as I can remeber I would ask the Lord "what is my purpose, what do you want me to be for you?" Everytime I would ask these questions I would expect a divine answer such as "Theresa I want you to be a doctor, lawyer, a composer" this list could go on and on, but what I realized was that the Lord wanted me to just be who I was. He created me to be who I am in the moment that I am, and what he desired out of me was to be obediant and have faith that my heavenly father knows me and will take care of me during ANY situation. This lesson was years in the making, and everyday he shows me his love and kindness and reassurance when I feel overwhelmed, happy, or anything. Realizing this has provided an entirely new outlook at my life, no longer do I look for personal fufillment-I look for the opportunity the Lord allows me to be apart of to serve. Day to day I never know what is coming, and for the first time in a long time I feel awake, alive, and excited about those opportunities. I know now that as long as I am listening and being obediant I am exactly where he wants me to be, and while it may not be his plan that I be the next rock star sensation, I am where he wants me to be which is in turn where I choose to be.
