Opporunities to do good!

 

I know I am really behind on updating our blog from the summer, and I'm working on it, but I just had to post this one tonight! You know how you make plans and think you have everything figured out? You know just the way you want your life to be and then the inevitable happens and things don't work out according to your plans. It's the worst right?? Well the inevitable happened to me and I felt so lost and confused for months! After graduation I had no idea what to do besides go to work each day. I was fortunate to get a second job and it has been a HUGE blessing in our lives. But in the back of my mind I couldn't help but feel like I had been cheated! For months I have felt a little lost and I just pretended like I had it all figured out, going about my day to day activities, trying to have a good attitude. Trying to get past those thoughts of failure has been more difficult than I imagined it would be but this quote below has really helped. 

 

Now that Kevin is back in school, (and super busy!!), I have found myself wanting to be busier. My 2 jobs keep my pretty busy, but then I realized that I actually missed school. Weird I know! Although school is a lot of work, learning is such a great thing and something I enjoy! About a month ago I was contacted about volunteering with the Idaho Food Bank as a teacher for the Cooking Matters course. At first I was really nervous about it and wasn't sure I would be good at it, but I decided that this is a great opportunity, something I can't pass up. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about being a Dietitian one day and I'm not going to let anything stand in my way! "Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about." So, tonight I went to my training for teaching this class, and I am so excited!! I get to teach teenagers basic nutrition and cooking skills and hopefully I can make a difference in at least one of their lives!

For whatever reason my plans didn't work out, so, now I have new plans and they are exciting! I'm still working on my new plans but one step at a time is all I have to take. For now I have put my trust in the Lord and I know that He will guide me in right direction. I know that I was not supposed to be in school this year and I will never have this time back, so I am going to make the most of everyday! So, here's to new opportunities to do good!
