Birthdays, Christmas, and Church! Oh My!

Very recently I just celebrated my 28th birthday and started on my 28th year of life. This is a bitter sweet age for me. I'm happy to have another year of life but at the age of 28, when I was younger I always thought I'd be married with a family and a full time job, Not living with my mom struggling to find work, and confused about whether or not I have a prospect. I'm doing my very best to be happy in life where I am at. In a few weeks my life is about to change for the negative again, unless I can find another thing to do. So I'm working hard at that. Which is keeping me WAY too busy, but honestly I love it.

Ooh and Jane Austen's Birthday is coming on Dec 16th! Tea Party and Jane Austen marathon anyone? So excited!

Christmas is coming! I look forward to more things with my family both real family and church family. So far I've been to a Christmas Tea Party at a near by church, that was fun! Then I went to our Church Candlelight tour! I love spending time with all the people in my church and the other surrounding churches! Next is my own churches Candlelight service and possibly Caroling! I just love this season.

I'm really enjoying this Devotion December! It's been a blessing to write a devo and prayer every day and pray for all the requests that were sent to me!

A lot of people seem very sad that I'm not doing a theme year next year. These themes and posts take a LOT of time. 2013 was a busy and full year thanks to these themes but it's time for me to actually get out and live! I was able to do a lot with these themes and be there for a lot of people. I'm so thankful for that! I also lost a lot of friends through this theme year. Which is fine. They didn't want to hear it, they didn't have to. 2014 is going to my year though, I'm determined to finally get settled. Maybe finish my writing projects (all 5 or 6 of them lol) Find a full time job, find a significant other (lol) and actually spend my time with good friends that understand me and wont use me (I've got to find them first, that live close by) Perhaps I'll move! lol The possibilities are endless but I REALLY have to figure out my life.

Things to cover

Well, in the last month I did the "Thankful November" thing and I've  now started on "Devotion December" This is my month of prayer and I'm also writing devotions for each day of December. After this month I will have completed an entire year of theme months! How crazy is that?! A WHOLE YEAR! Technically I've already reached a year but I'm talking Calender year. I started these themes last November, but decided to do them the ENTIRE year of 2013 and what a great year for this it's been. I've learned a lot about me and also the people around me.

I have lost friendships this year and gained some as well. God is good and I'm constantly growing.

I have to be honest though, I am hoping very hard that 2014 is full of bigger changes for me. A full time job, a significant other, and moving out of my moms house are just the start of the things I want in 2014. I'm ready. Question is, is the world ready for me? I sure hope so!

I've been doing a part time job since October and start more part time work this month. I'm ready to get my jewelry making name out there.

Hopefully I'll be blogging more too. I'm trying to finish a story that I'm working on. Also trying to finish reading the now 11 books I have on my reading list by the end of the year. Not going to happen but hopefully I'll finish half of that! haha

I'm going to try and get back on my diet and exercise routine and finish decorating for Christmas. Life is just crazy. Happy Holidays though Folks. Sending love and prayers your way.
