Rearranging: theme of the week/month/year

So, I find myself rearranging...a lot. Right now it is not only my room (too keep the rain from dripping on my bed) but also my life. Today I really called it quits with the guy I've been seeing off and on for the last 2 1/2 years. I've said we were through before, a couple times...haha
But it hasn't been for these reasons. I have known for a while that this relationship wasn't going anywhere, but I was content to torture myself by pretending it was. After a talk he and I had a few weeks ago, my gears really started to spin and I wondered what I was doing. I truly believe it is for this reason that God sent me to South East of nowhere Arkansas. I have made some really great friends, a couple of which have really helped me to say out with the old me and in with the new me! (Thank you, Holly and Brady!)

The new me: Happy being Single. I'm not there yet, but that is where I'm headed. I want to be happy being single. I can't do that unless I'm actually single, mind and body. Now I can concentrate and direct my attention to what God has planned for my life. Hopefully I haven't screwed up too bad by ignoring Him for so long. But I know that He is forgiving, Praise God! I trust that all of this is working to His good purpose, and one day I will look back and marvel at what He has done in my life. God is so good! I want to ask that you keep me in your prayers. (And don't harass me about being single! lol )

Other rearranging: my rent house. I know I still haven't posted pictures...that's because I STILL have not put everything away. It's a little messy...but I'm working on that. I've been reading about de-cluttering and easy ways to do it, so I'm working on that this week...to find a place for everything...and give away or throw away the rest! All while avoiding the roommate who has strep but can't get in to see the doc until tomorrow at 10...so she will be contaigious until Wednesday! Yikes!

Trice - I'm so proud of you!!! Make the clean break, NOW you can move on and be who you want to be!!! And what is the comment about moving the bed to keep out the rain? Are you sleeping in a tent?

Um, no tent...the ceiling in my bedroom started leaking the other day. This rent house is soooooooo old. The landlord said they would come fix it when it stops raining.

PS we now have a leak in the kitchen too. Still no sign of anyone coming to fix it, although the landlord says someone will be by this week.
