If He takes care of the birds he will take care of me


The past couple of months have been somewhat stressful for me... Partly due to transitions in my career and partly from my most recent fear of the unknown.
I never used to be so scared of the unknown. It excited me, I welcomed it.  But for some reason the last couple of months have left me questioning every decision, second guessing my gut, and existing in an anxious anguish.  

I made a career decision that should be a no-brainer looking in from the outside . Internally for me however, the change and the unknown of my future had me so full of fear that I had trouble sleeping at night. What if this position isn't for me? What if they don't like me and let me go? How will I eat? How will I pay my bills? How will I buy new shoes?! 

Going into an important  marketing meeting today where I was to present my forecast and plan for the next two quarters a sudden calm came over me. I realized that I DO know what I'm doing, I AM capable of being valuable to this organization and GOD hasn't taken me this far to leave me. Which reminds me of the Bible Verse Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

I will no longer sow or reap or store away my fears. I will be nervous about things sometimes, but no longer will I let fear feed me. Not in my career, not in my relationships, not in my friendships nor in my pursuit of the unknown.

Spring Break 2012!!!

My friends Katie, Kat and I have been out of school for several years now, and although we got what most would call our fill of spring break trips/parties we feel like one could never get enough spring break.  We made each other a promise back in college that we would always "spring break" no matter how old we got. So we do.  And we feel justified, dammit. Plus Kat missed a few back in college so we are on this constant impossible mission for her to catch up. Which works out well since we are spread across the country now and will use any excuse to reunite. Well this year was no exception, with the exception that we celebrated spring break three times. In a month and a half. Here are a few snapshots from a crazy, fun, friend and debauchery filled "spring break" sagas Parts 1, deux, and 3:

Part 1: California knows how to party. Well if they didn't, they do now!
We spent the weekend in LA and Malibu.  We heard Santa Monica was nice this time of year. Our reunion swiftly commenced concerts, beaches, biker bars and jam sessions...





Part Deux: #BAM (Bonnie Awareness Month)
Let me set up the synopsis. VEGAS.  Ok, so I live here and it might not sound so exciting after hearing that  but lemme tell ya, we painted the town red along with every other color under the sun. I am beyond blessed to have had so many of my friends join in on a weekend filled with delicious dinners, fun concerts, bars, boobs, booze, fake mustaches, Polaroid pictures, lap giraffes... it was a freak show. The best of its kind with wonderful gifts, but the best part of it all were the people I spent it with :)



Part 3: Texas Tornado:
Texas did greet us with a few tornadoes.  Luckily far enough north that it didn't effect our trip (prayers to the people it did effect). Long story short... this one goes as follows:
-Keep Austin Weird
-R.V. L.I.V.I.N (Mathew Mcconaughey voice)
-Round Top Antiques Week
- Mermaids (a blog post in and of itself... stay tuned)
-Shop till we dropped
- Junk Gypsy Junk O Rama Prom
- Drive like hell to get there
