The Stars in the Sky

So, the stars are back in Alaska, which kinda means that fall is here and the snow is going to return in a couple months! I love every season in it's time, but this has been a VERY hot and dry summer and I'm just ready for the fires to be taken out by the snow.

Now, I may not have a verse for this post, but I also don't know if anyone will even read this, and that's okay with me. Honestly, I'm just glad to get some things off my mind. It has been a long year since I last posted something. Funny thing is I did the last one after I visited my friend Lilly and now I'm doing it WHILE I'm visiting her. It has been a long needed visit and I've been catching up on my sleep. I've also been catching up on my alone time. As much as I love to be surrounded by people, I've been learning that some of the people I used to surround myself with weren't helping me much. I mean, I still need to learn to say no sometimes, but that's a lesson for another day...or night. Lol.

There's a band I heard recently called the B2Wins, they kind of remind me of 2Cellos in the way they jazz up music, but they had a great reminder. They gave a kind of motivational speech basically saying "Life is short, and the clock is fast." They were saying that along the lines of the infamous saying "YOLO", but seriously, life is too short to be surrounding myself with the wrong people.

I've been wandering too far from God and not listening to His guidance as much as I should. I'm not sure how well that shows through my life, but honestly, I want that to change. With God's help, I know I can change and draw closer to Him again. I was reminded this morning that the easiest way to have a relationship (of any kind really) is communication. Without communication, there is no way to have a healthy relationship.

My prayer life hasn't been what it needs to be recently, and that automatically puts a kink in my relationship with God. Thankfully, He's a God of forgiveness and patience. He hasn't given up on me yet for some reason, and I pray that He continues to be patient with me.

I love my God dearly and don't want to disappoint Him anymore than I already have...Thanks for reading if you got this far.
