GRUNGE & GOD

I apologize for the lack of blogging, but there has been so much going on. I have recently moved into a new city and am still getting used to it. I have also graduated from college and have begun the nervous search for a full-time job. I have three new roommates, two of whom I have worked with at Urban Outfitters, and the other is a new friend. Honestly, I haven't really finished unpacking due to my lack of hangers. But nevertheless, I am determined to start somewhere.

I think moving here has opened my eyes to financial responsibility. I can't really spend money anymore for things that I want. My money goes towards rent, bills, and most recently parking tickets (I told you, I'm still getting used to this place -__-). I don't have any more money to spend on leisure things like clothes and makeup. I'd have to say a big chunk of it goes towards food. I've also noticed that because of these financial burdens, my heart rate has increased. Maybe it's true, maybe I do have high blood pressure.

I have made it an effort to start going to church more often. When I was away at college, I admit, I had so much freedom that church wasn't really on top of my list of priorities. But I know that God has been beside me all this time. And I think it's time for me to pay Him a visit. I don't like feeling this way; I don't like thinking about money all of the time. I know that it's a part of life, but the thing is, it truly stresses me out. So God will be seeing a lot of me and my heavy heart in prayers.
