Challenge Day 27

A picture of me last year and now; and how have I changed since - 


Before:

Now:




Three hundred sixty four/five days is a long time that can go by very quickly. In many ways I'm still the same. In other ways I've very different.


One year ago I was new to the DC Metro and still unemployed. I missed my MN friends, especially my sister-friends, and didn't know if I'd made the right choice in moving east. I was living out of a "suitcase" and in the extra bedroom of friends of my parents. I felt pretty low and depressed. At the time I was praying for a new job, new friends and a boyfriend.


Now, a year later, I am a new resident to DC. I miss my MN friends, especially my sister-friends, but I know that I made the right choice. I have my own place with a great view and an awesome commute. I'm employed and I'm starting to make friends. I had a boyfriend (which is no surprise to anyone reading this blog). I still feel pretty low and depressed and I'm back to praying for a new job, new friends and a boyfriend.


My goals for one year from now:

  1. A new job where I am valued for my contribution, treated with respect, and rewarded generously.
  2. A local group of supportive friends with whom I spend time, share my life and enjoy our time together.
  3. A long-term committed relationship with an amazing man who loves me and accepts me exactly as I am and who allows me to do the same for him.

I have an action plan for these goals, starting with letting a bud of faith grow in my head and heart that I am deserving of these miracles in my life.
