Foreign Confusion

2010-07-08T20:33:00.000-07:00

It's been a while but rightfully so. As you can see from my "Keeping Up with the Cobbs" blog we have been quite a busy family. But lately my thoughts have been outside the norm and the US. Normally, I'm thinking of my career, my family, my finances. But after numerous events I continue to feel God pulling at my heart strings. Is he telling me something and I'm not listening? Hmmmm, not sure yet what to think. After listening to a friend, watching a Louis Giglio video, some research, a dream and a volunteer event, all of which make me cry just even thinking about them, I still don't know what to think or what actions to take. Man do I have a lot of praying, thinking, and maybe some counseling ahead of me. Sorry but you'll have to wait for details. :)

On top of that things are continually changing as far as a regular life aspect goes. Our move has opened up more possibilities for us which is causing thoughts of other changes. But still the confusion is consistent. It's been about 1/2 a year now and still not much clarity. Guess I'm still looking for the coordinates.

Feeling Stagnate

The past few months have been such a blur. Selling the house, tax season, Kelsey, all of us being sick multiple times, and Andrew became a full-time student. I have hardly had time to think, let alone ponder my life direction. Needless to say I am feeling stagnate. However, I do think I am make some strides in the right direction. I recently learned in a luncheon on charitable contributions that I am an "achiever," vs someone who seeks power or affliation. I have written down some goals and am beginning to see what I need to do make those goals happen. It may take months, even years but I have faith that I can achieve them. I firmly believe the past few years I've felt lost because I've achieved nothing, had no goals, Mother, CPA, graduate, married, I'd met them all. But now with a written plan I definitely feel more focused.

I also have been working on my social health and physical wellness as well. I have lost 8.5 lbs since February and I have a goal to loose at least 4 more. And since, Andrew's home at night I have been able to re-join my small group, go to Bunko nite, and join a book club.

So I'm excited for the direction my life is going. It still needs tons of navigation but I feel I am making progress!

Change Continuing

2010-01-07T19:43:00.000-08:00

So, the past month has brought a whirl wind of emotions, decisions, and change. I am proud to say that for an indecisive person I have done well this month. This month has also brought many new feelings. I am currently trying to process these new decisions and feelings and I must say, I feel unusual; it's hard to express. Although, I feel it's a good thing. Hmmmm, is about all I can say at this point. Guess I am going to need to dig a little deeper.

As part of my New Year's resolution I have decided to read 10 books in 2010. If you know me well, I haven't read 10 books since high school! I am proud to say I have already finished one and well into my second and third books; listed to the side. Also tomorrow I will be starting the biggest loser contest with the firm I work for, yet another chance to embark on a challenge. The challenge is to change my will power, in excess my strength to take back control of my wants vs. my needs.

Although this month has brought on strong emotions that I don't quite know how to process yet. I feel I am stepping in the right direction.

Today Is The Day

So, today is the day I embark into a lifestyle change. I am trying to better myself spiritually, intellectually, socially and any other ally's you can think of. Recent events in my life have lead me to do a little soul searching. So, I've decided to start small. I have decided to challenge my mind with more than TV or music. Be it Sudoku, Crossword puzzles, books or devotionals. This is all in an effort to search for something deeper within myself. Ironically, the TV is on at the moment, like I said it'll be a lifestyle change.
