Right Place, Right Time

January 19th, 2018

As I have seen over the past week, there is a reason that the Lord puts people in your life for a reason, time and place. Sometimes these are really obvious but other times they aren't. Other times hindsight is 20/20 and we look back to realize why we experienced what we did.

Sometimes there is great joy out of the places we find ourselves. Things are happy because there are so many good people around us and everything seems to be falling into place.

Other times trial produces great sorrow and we don't see an end to the pain. However, I hope, you have the same great people that will love you through it. Or in my case, some new ones will arise.

I have recently found that I might not fully understand what God is doing by rearranging who is in my life in my last semester of college. But I know to trust Him. There are a lot of new people that I am truly afraid of losing but I also know that the Lord makes all things work for my good.

I don't know if I truly believe that timing is everything in life because our timing is not God's. I know that in new friendships there comes great joy and laughter that is unexplainable. Joy of the Lord that I would not trade for the world.

People that let me be myself. People that let me cry. People that let me laugh. People placed in my life at just the moment I needed them. I may not know why or where these friendships are going but God does. So for now I go with the flow.

Is there someone that has been put in your life at the right place and time and you just haven't taken the time to notice?

xoxo,
Em

Transitions

Sitting in class this morning, we decided that we were going to learn about suicide. The thing that I thought I left in my past after March 14th of 2016. Then as I was sitting, listening and learning, I realized that I have the chance to use my experience to help others. Which I guess, I always thought was the goal after overcoming my struggle. I thought I was supposed to be able to talk about my issues and help others. However, that is easier said then done most of the time. It isn't easy to directly ask someone if they are struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation. When we don't ask or talk about it just emphasizes the stigma. I guess my question is that while I learn about transitioning into professional school why did I think I needed to leave my past behind? It is a part of who I am and what I have overcome in my life. I feel like I should use it. Talk about it. The more even ONE person talks about their past and their issues the more it will help even one pers

Kryptonite

We all have our kryptonite, right? That one thing that gets us. Whether it's ice cream or a person, we have something. For me, it's a person. And I love him. Just saying that out loud is hard. We haven't had the easiest friendship for the four years of undergrad and the last couple of years were murky with feelings. When I graduated, we didn't talk and I had lost my closest guy friend that was a big rock in my life for a long time. Granted, there were big parts of my life he missed as I got into pharmacy school and what not but somehow he always ends up back in my life. I have truly questioned if it is the best decision or if I should just let him be. Every time, my heart and this voices tells me to let him in. He is my kryptonite. We fight. We don't talk. We come back. Then, we talk. I realize I still love him. I miss him not being in my life. I start to question again why. Why is he in my life? Why this season? Or why the last? It's not that I question

This is Only the Beginning

February 15, 2016 I always said blogging was stupid and was for the Serena Van Der Woodsens of the world. If you don't know who SVDW is then you haven't watched Gossip Girl, the white girl staple Netflix binge. However, I find myself as a SVDW writing my own blog. Why am I writing a blog? This is how I can cope with the pain of white girl life. Instead of using self-harm to tear my body apart I can use words to express myself. Basic white girl, right? I make no promises about the niceness or the morbidity of what some posts will bring but it will be me. White girl moments and all. Here I am. Almost 20, still trying to figure out who I am and what God's plan is for me. I will never fully understand how or why He does things, only that He does. All I ask is that as you read, you learn who I am and walk this life with me. Good, bad, and everything in between. Are you ready to take a leap of faith into the unknown of tomorrow? I am. xoxo, Em
