Updates

More updates, because a lot has been going on.

Work
I like my job a lot. It's so much fun and right now, I've been away for two days (I'm off Fri, Sat, and Sun every week) and I miss it. I only work four days a week, 8am-5pm. I'm usually not excited going in because it's early, but it grows on me during the day.

Sickness
For the past two weeks, I've had migraines on and off. I'm not sure what's been triggering them, but I wish they would go away. With the migraines comes dizziness, nausea, sometimes I actually throw up, sensitivity to light and sound, and I'm tired a lot. This has, luckily, only affected me once at work. I've been to the doctor twice for it and got pain medicine both times.

God
I had felt as though I'd lost my connection with God and was working to get it back. I had an amazing day at work when I just prayed and told Him He had control over my life. A few days later I didn't have that high feeling anymore and felt as though there was something I wasn't doing anymore to lose it. I was really confused as to what I had done and prayed about it. Later in the week Charles randomly starts a conversation about how people often assume that they're always supposed to feel Him and when they stop feeling Him they just think somethings wrong even when it's not. That really made me feel better and I've stopped doubting His presence.

Pre-Engagement book
I picked up a book at Mardels called Before You Get Engaged. It's a book that is trying to prepare you for engagement as well as help you decide whether this is the person God wants you to be with. There are things in the book about values and how your's should match your partner's. They are also sections about being at peace with your future wedding plans and if you're not, you should consider cancelling them. So far everything in the book has just further confirmed my want to marry Charles. The book has also helped me with being patient. I've learned I'm not quite ready to get married, but I am getting there quite quickly.


That's all I can think of for now. Thanks for reading!
