The anticipation is almost over, I'm finally to the Thursday I've been waiting for..move in day! Today I will be leaving work at 12pm to go and sign the lease to my new townhouse in Eagan. I think this will release a huge weight off my shoulders now so I can begin to re-settle and get back into routine and continue to pursue my inner self and the true me. I always struggle staying on track when a big event is taking place such as moving and starting my new job on 10/15/08.
ANYWAYS right now this blog isn't about my present and current situation, it's about how I got to where I am today... and I need to begin with past information and writings which I did not get to unraveling last night so it needs to be post poned until after the move...should be very soon though, because Comcast is set up to transfer my service/internet today between 2pm-4pm!
I'll leave with a bible snippet, a phrase I'm always repeating within myself...
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

Excited & Anxious
I'm excited to become a blogger and to finally have a way to release my inner most thoughts and to let MY heart pour out for others to listen. HOWEVER, my mind has stalled. I'm nervous, which actually brings up a very big factor about me. I tend to freeze up from time to time and let the fear of thoughts and others' judgments affect me. I know that I'm on the break through to overcome this so others can witness that in a relationship with God you shall not fear. I deal a lot with fears. HOWEVER, in taking the steps to step outside my comfort zone, writing/processing, praying and believing.. I know I will get there, because I can count on God to lead me.
I think when I get home from work I'm gonna unravel my old and past writings and thoughts to set the stage to where I am now and post those first...since I'm feeling a little nervous and unsure with where to begin and what to blog. Also these past writings will show and express my feelings as lost and that I knew I was making wrong choices and you can really see that I was yearning for something more, something better, something outstanding for my life. It will also show proof in that with God all is possible and you can truly feel confident in yourself and live a truly happy life. Anxious... but ready to share. In a way blogging will help me expose myself to the eyes of God and others, because all this information I'm giving comes truly from within.

Prayer of Jabez
I wanted to begin on this topic because going through old notebooks and journals this prayer is something that stood out and really spoke to me and worked for me. The Prayer of Jabez comes from the Bible.
In 1 Chronicles 4:10
The prayer is composed of four parts. First, Jabez asks God to bless him. Second, he asks God to enlarge his territory or increase his responsibility. Third, he prays that God will be with him and stay close. Lastly, Jabez asks that God keep him from harm so that he will be free from pain.
The Prayer of Jabez reveals that Jabez understands what many people do not -- there is only one God and He should be the center of our work God wants to bless every life. But, we must first make the choice to invite God into our life and ask for His blessings.
The Prayer of Jabez reminds us that everybody struggles with choosing to rely on himself or God. If you are looking to start a relationship with God or improve your existing relationship with Him, start with prayer.
I constantly remind myself when a problem/issue arises to speak with God FIRST. What I used to find myself doing is going to others for their advice and thoughts, which is helpful in using these people for support and a release mechinism. However we need to search within ourselves and call out to God for answers on our lives and decisions to really know we made a proper choice.
