let life FALL into place.

Last week I decided to try something new. Life was getting stressful and I just couldn't keep up with all my emotions. So, naturally I put my headphones in, turned on my sad songs Pandora station and had a good cry. During my pity party I decided I was going to just let things happen instead of trying to make them happen. Let me just tell you, this week has been pretty great. It is funny to see how much stress you are actually causing yourself by trying to plan or make things go your way. Life is crazy and sometimes you have to let go. If Carrie Underwood were here she would probably say "Let Jesus take the wheel" which is some solid advice. This week was hectic but as the weekend came and went, I watched so many of the things I had been trying to force, fall into place. The Lord works in funny ways but He knows what is best for you. I have learned this week that if you put your trust in Him and build your house upon His rock, you cannot fall. Through much pray and following of prompts this weekend turned out to be great. Not to say that it went smoothly at all, but it was more like the storm before the calm, you could say (I know it's the calm before the storm but I switched it up, get it?). Anyways speaking of not falling and things falling into place, it happens to actually be fall. I have never really had experience with leaves changing but I hear that "Everything begins again when the leaves get crisp in the fall" that is how I feel this week was for me. It's fall now and I have decided that along with the leaves, I am going to start over. Being on my own and being around people who have just met me, has been one of my most favorite things in the world. I can be whoever I want. I have completely taken advantage of this and have been working to find out exactly who I want to be. I am definitely still learning and taking each day into account but slowly and surely I am finding myself. This week especially has helped me make some decisions about who I want to be. While I was walking about the Little Bear Bottoms corn maze this Saturday I realized that life is like a maze. There are going to be those people who use the map to find the most effective and fast way out, people who get lost, enjoying every second of it, and people who didn't prepare and are afraid of outhouses, so they rush through and don't even stop to smell the corn husks. Personally I want to get lost in life. It's already short enough, why not do everything you can to make it longer? Life happens. Happiness is a choice. So like The Beatles once said "Let it Be."
