I'm not good at titles.

On a lighter note than yesterday, I heard a great little kid quote today.  One of the preschoolers yelled something in the bathroom, so I went to check on him.  He pointed to the toilet and said "Look, I pooped out a big one!"  I managed not to laugh, and told him to flush it.  It made me think of a certain friend of mine. ;)

It's been great to be back with the kids this week.  I kind of feel like a celebrity there, because everywhere I go kids are waving and going "Miss Taylor, Miss Taylor!!"  :)  That's the thing with kids- they are genuinely happy to see you, and not one bit afraid to show it.  We are so much more reserved as adults, and so much more afraid of what other people think.

The Beginning

So, I can't think of a good title for this blog, so I guess it will just be dots for now.

Life right now is...interesting, and full of changes that need to be made. As much as I try to be flexible, I'm discovering that change is difficult. I can know in my head that these things need to happen, but then I start to over-analyze everything. I know that I'm caring too much about what others think, and not enough about what I know I need to do.

I don't have a permanent job right now, and that's been pretty hard. I get tired of everyone asking the same question: "So, do you have a job?". I know that these are all well-meaning people, but it doesn't change the feelings of failure that come up when I have to answer no. I have to keep reminding myself that things happen in God's time, and not my own. I'm not in control.

This post has all been kind of negative, so I'll end with this. I'm so thankful for people in my life who are willing to listen, and remind me that I will be ok. As much as I know this, I still need to hear it. :)
