Tonight I was reflecting on when I first started blogging. My first blog post was on February 27, 2008. My life was so completely different then than it is right now. I kind of look back at that time in my life and long for those times again. Even though life was tough back then, it sure feels tougher now. So many things have changed: my kids have grown, my husband's job changed, my life changed in so many ways, and the one thing I never could imagine happening did... my sweet daddy died on December 29, 2013. But with all of the changes, one thing remained and that is my faith. I cannot say my faith did not change, because it has. I believe stronger than ever that my Redeemer lives and that Jesus is my Savior and Lord. I know He is able to take care of anything I surrender to Him. I trust Him completely and yet there is much more room for growth. My faith sustains me.
I have unofficially graduated from the LPN program. We had the formality of a pinning ceremony and presenting a document but the actual nursing program will continue for eight more weeks. I start back up tomorrow. I really am so weary of driving three hours round trip a day for five days a week at various hours of the EARLY morning, and bouncing my children around to my in-laws or back home with my mother seeing them on their school buses. Life is just hard and inconsistent right now and I do not have a lot of time to do the things I am the most passionate about, but I am trying to get back to some of the basic things that really helped me in the simpler times when my blog was new and things just seemed less chaotic.
I have been producing some YouTube videos lately and I wanted to share one with you all today. It is a video about how I use my Joyfully Yours weekly planner by Dayspring. My husband bought it for me and I absolutely love it. It really does keep me organized and I enjoy using stickers and pretty embellishments to keep it colorful and fun to use. I hope you will like my video. If you do, feel free to leave a comment on my YouTube channel and be sure to subscribe. I plan on sharing several more videos and I am eager to see how everyone likes them.
If you are still following my blog and checking in with me, thank you! I apologize for not keeping up with things like I had wanted to. I will try to be more consistent and post more often. If you have any suggestions on blog topics that you would like to see, or videos you want me to create, please leave me a comment below or feel free to email me at bridgettowens78@gmail.com and I will look forward to reading those responses. Enjoy the video and thanks for hanging out with me today!!
