2:25am

The time is early morning. In two and a half hours I will get up attempt to go running. (Key Word ATTEMPT) Then head off to school. Oh HOW I do love my job. Life feels strange at this moment. I have officially changed my name to Jeri Lyn. My heart, mind and soul is settling roots down here in the south and I have no idea where the next step in my life will be. Thursday is career day at school were children will come dressed in their dream job attire. Yet, everyday I get to wear mine. Everything does seem really surreal. I do have a struggles of contentment when I think of marriage yet there is nothing I can control or make happen in that department. So, what do I do instead?? I live. I was reading the Pioneer Women's blog and then I realized that I had my own. Who knows where I will be doing in a year. For this first time in my life I am not trying to figure that out. That feels amazing. Contentment is a beautiful thing. Yet, I think the world is confused to think that contentment means we will not long for something that is yet to come such as marriage. Contentment really is trusting God for what we long for and looking forward to what He has coming for us. I never thought I would be a Southern Belle by the name of Jeri Lyn. Today is a great day.
