My level of stress lately has been epic between work, friends, drama, money and family. Needless to say I am constantly reminding myself that what doesn't kill me will in fact make me stronger.
I saw a really cool quote on Pinterest the other day it said, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." I'm trying to relax and learn to breathe through the stress and most importantly I'm trying to find the fun in the my day...everyday.
Today was no exception...Sundays are great for me because I start them off at church. Church is great because not only do I get to start off my week with feeling awesome with a great message but I typically see a bunch of Young Life kids at church...no matter what service I attend! Even more exciting is that sometimes I see adult friends at church who are regulars or just coming to check it out. Regardless of who is there I feel at home there and I always feel like I can have a more balanced week when I can start it off with church.
Next, Audrey, Pidge and I headed to Starbucks to chat for a little bit and to catch up! Coffee on Sunday...also a great way to start my week! Those girls crack me up and remind me to laugh! It is so fun to see life through their eyes and it reminds me of what high school was like, even though it wasn't too long ago it is easy to forget what it was like. I know at the time that the struggle seemed so real and tough but in reality life was easy and carefree. I would love to go back to those carefree and fun days!
Audrey and I said our goodbyes to Pidge and headed to see our friend Grace in her school's play! We met up with some of our Young Life leader friends and Nat Rat! The play was so good and Grace (the mouse) was awesome! It was a great way to spend the afternoon! And the stepsisters were freaking awesome! Loved them!!!
After Audrey being the trooper she is went to the store with me to get the buffalo chicken dip supplies! Then Audrey came to my house to hang with Maverick as I worked on my computer which helped me out a ton because Maverick loves to distract me as I work.
To finish off this awesome day...I went over to K-Craig's to hang with some of our adult leaders who work with our Wyld Life team! It was great to just hang with them and chat and just grow more as a family. Oh and did I mention sweet baby Olivia was there! She is so freaking cute!
At the end of the day I know my level of stress has a tendency to get the best of me but I feel like slowly but surely I am trying to take time out of the stress to enjoy life again is important and something that I am getting better at. Today is proof that not everyday is a storm but even if it rains I won't mind dancing in it!
With Love Always,
Alex
