Throughout the past week i ve realized just how blessed I truly am! Its funny how God throws little things in there sometimes for you to look back and realize how far you have come and how lucky you are to have all the things that God has blessed you with. My family is my biggest asset and they are always there no matter how many have walked in and out of my life.. I miss them tremendously but God has made it very obvious to me just how blessed I am to have such a comforting and loving family that loves me dearly and vise versa. I am finally grasping the concept of learning how to be happy and content with life.. how not to get overwhelmed with the stress that hardships bring, and how to be Okay with just being me, Melissa... The person God made me to be! Why? because there is no reason to fret and push your own plans bc we have to eventually realize God will always have his way no matter what our plans are... the more you let go, live, and accept and glorify our wonderful God you will realize that his plans are what we want for ourselves to a "T"!
After a long hard week last week i got to enjoy a relaxing weekend that consisted of many activities!!! The girls and I celebrated about 5 girls birthdays friday and later went to celebrate with them at Hyper Crush ( alot like pretty lights, etc) which all proceeds went to St.Jude ... something i ve found myself being very passionate about over the past couple of years! They were tons of fun and we had a blast celebrating with all the girls!!
Saturday we all woke up early to have Inspiration with our sweet Little Sis's and i went to Bottle Tree Bakery where we got to watch people pass by running the Marathon that was hosted in Oxford this weekend along with everyones sweet little ones and their pets... Thats one of my all time favorite things to do in the Spring on the Square... Eat ice cream on warm days and watch everyone bring their dogs out, and strollers with sweet lil ones in it also!!! Saturday Night I attended KA initiation banquet with one of my best friends Logan and many others! We had a blast .... They had a great jazz band ... and tons of great food!
Sunday Morning we had to wake up early for our own Initation for all of our new and precious little DeeGees! Ellen came in town for pin Mary Claire! This was her 2nd time to come to the Alpha Psi chapter to pin ... me last year and now MC!! i know she was so happy to be able to share the special bond with Mary Claire... I love them both so much!!! It was a very special day for both of us!!!! Ellen was so excited on Bid day and being able to put her bid day jersey on.. i know she was just excited to be able to put on her pin and make her an official Deeeeg!!!
So as you can see this weekend was very eventful and fun-filled! After last week and the long, tiring, and some what emotional days that I had i am finally just learning to let back, and let go, let God have his way and just enjoy the ride of life itself... its way to short to worry or have and regrets, and waste anytime on anyone that isnt worth your time... God has brought people into and out of my life just within the past 2 weeks that I know he has huge plans and purposes of doing so! He has taught me and held me through every single bit of the "learning processes" through out all of it also! I encourage yall to sit back and do the same just let God have his way... the more we try to put together our "Happy Ending" or "perfect picture life" the more God will take it away from us... just let go.. let God lead you.. and live YOUR life.. No one elses!!!
Love you all,
Mel
