The Good, The Bad, and The Earl

I have to go to work in less than an hour, so let's see if I can get through this quickly.
Also, a special thank-you to Ashley for leaving her compy at the Apt… :)

So here's the thing.
Within the last month, so much has changed. I live in an unknown land, with strangers and friends. I work at a different store (same company), and out of all the changes the biggest one is MEE (Psych reference).
It's been hard… but it's been the most rewarding month of my life. Everyday I grow and progress towards my goal. I couldn't be more excited to go and serve our Heavenly Father.
Coming this far has taken a lot of pushing, prayer, guidance, friends, and faith; but I know things are as they should be. This is where I need to be right now, I know that. It's an incredible feeling to know that you are guided and loved by our Heavenly Father. It's a feeling that he gives freely, if you are willing to open your heart and your mind.

So many things have happened that I couldn't even begin to explain. I've had to make some of the hardest decisions of my life these last couple weeks. It hasn't been easy, and it still isn't. I don't know if it will ever get easier, but I know that the Lord won't give me something that He knows I wouldn't be able to handle.

I've received my answer. It was a truly ineffable feeling. I'll attempt to put words to it anyway..
It was just the warmest, most sincere love that I've ever felt. It was beautiful.

 I truly hope that whoever reads this reads this does so with an open mind and heart. I know I seem kinda like a "Jesus Freak," lately, and maybe I am :p. I just want everyone to experience what I have.

I know that our Heavenly Father knows us. He loves us so much. He sent His Son to live and die for us, that through his perfect example we may come closer to Him, and that by his sacrifice we may live forever. It's a priviledge and a responsibility that I don't take lightly. I know that through faith (verb, it's what you do), we can find peace. I bear witness of the truthfulness of these things. I know that if anyone opens themselves fully to the Spirit and they try to search for answers, they'll find them.
I write these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Inverse of Earl

I was talking with a friend recently and I stumbled over some words and what I think I said was something about me being an Inverse. I don't remember what we were actually talking about so I can't actually say what the context was. Anyway, it's an interesting statement because in a lot of ways, in the last two weeks I have turned things around completely.

For the first time in my life I know what I want, and the individual steps on how to get there. Also, the motivation that has been lacking my whole life, is now here in full force.

SO much has happened and I've changed a lot of things in my life for the better. With the Lord's guidance and strength, I'll be just fine :).

I just moved out, too.

Things are looking up :)
