"Time to wait" -Ner Tamin

I love this picture by Ner Tamin called "Time to wait." It is very symbolic to me. I love the yellow yield lights, and the people in the shadow's lingering that you can just make out. It reminds me of how God waits on us, to just turn to Him and look His way. I can just hear God saying "be patient my child, in time I will bring you all that your heart desires that I see fit for you to have!" 

My move

I moved last week. It's been 2 years, was about time. 

I packed up most my things in one day, taped up the boxes, and had my brother cart them off to storage for me. That was my little brothers birthday present to me ;)!

I packed most of my clothes in suit cases and put them in my car, drove off to my new abode. 

I'm liking my new room. There are many positives. I no longer feel like I have the basement apartment in a house where the upstairs is occupied by my mothers best friend (not such a bad thing btw). In my new home I feel more independent. I don't really HAVE to answer to anyone. I come and go as I please. I Just have to make sure and keep the house tidy.  (easiest thing in the world! Im a pretty clean person.) My house mate is a good friend, really easy and fun to live with. There is a community pool in our condominium complex. I'm looking forward to taking full advantage this summer :D 

It's kinda weird not working, but that will change soon.

I'm on a plane right now, flying to Minnesota for a two week vacation. I'm going to visit my niece Nora (one of my all time favorite persons), gonna get to meet my new niece Rebecca, who is now about 6 weeks I think. I'll get to see my sister and her husband, and his kids. And hopefully spend a few days with some cousins, that I love visiting when I'm in MN. 

Well that's all for now.

Concepts

So I've come to find that everyone sees things/people differently. 

You can sit and judge a person by what you see and hear about them, and not ever really know said person. 

What one person thinks is a  innocent conversation between two people. Another sees as flirting. 

Someone you consider to be a good friend. They consider you to be the person they are in love with and want to spend the rest of their life with. 

I look at it this way. You can judge anything by what you see, and it could be something completely different. When you are on the outside looking in, you really can not trust your own judgement, because you have NO idea what is really happening, or what is being said. Everyone is different, and you can not judge a book by its cover, or a person by what is said about them by someone else. 

I try not to judge people, especially by first impression, I wait and get to know you. I do not listen to what other people say about a person, because it's someone else's opinion, it is  exactly that "their opinion!" my opinion of said person could be completely different. 

Sometimes you think you know someone, sometimes that person is putting up a complete front for everyone, and only their closest friends know the real person! 

Be yourself. Be completely honest, to yourself and others. Communicate what you feel about any situation. Only believe something about someone, if it comes from that someone. 

Gossip is the root of all evil. 

I personally only listen and believe things when they are told to me by said person. When someone tells me something about so and so, I usually don't even pay attention. Because, like I said you cant believe everything you hear. Gossip is something I've learned to just ignore and cut off. 

Sometimes people's concepts of me are completely off base, and I feel bad for them, for prejudging me, and for not taking the time to get to know the real me. 

I love my friends, I love my family, I love God with all my heart. I put others before myself most of the time. I joke, I tease, I kid, I make fun of, I'm sarcastic... But with all that in mind, I care about people. I try and make others smile daily, and will go out of my way to do so. I pray and hope people will have only positive things to say or think about me. Maybe someday this will be so...
