Coffee Date

Today I (Britney) am co-hosting with one of my good blog friends Jenna of Dearest Love for her monthly coffee Date Linkup. I am sharing my highs and lows from the week as a time where we get to sit down and have coffee, and share about what's going on in our lives. Which by the way, I would love to do with some of my blog friends. Maybe soon, but for now let's sit back, grab our cups of coffee and share what's on our heart and minds.



Highs//
-had a presentation to do on tuesday, and it went really well! I am so glad it did, cause at the last minute one our group members dropped the class so there was only two of us presenting for 50 minutes. 

 -Found some places to live yesterday, since my lease ends in May. I am looking at one of them today and  I am excited to see it! Hopefully it works out that I can live there, cause it looks really nice! 

 -My birthday is next week, I turn 26. My parents sent me two presents already and i love them! I think 26 is gonna be a good year, 25 was too though, don't get me wrong. 

 Lows// 
The stress of the presentation and having one less group member. But it ended up going well, so it's all good. 
Be sure to go over to Jenna's Blog, and catch up on her week as well!

    Wow, a 50 minute presentation sounds pretty scary to me! Ha. It sounds like you did a great job! Congrats on maybe finding a new place to live! Keep me updated! Finding a new place can definitely be stressful, but it sounds like you're excited about it which is great! I hope you get the place you want!
    Thanks for cohosting with me, Britney!

    Yeah it probably does to you. lol! welcome to grad school (meaning that's pretty normal for masters level) That was like my second long presentation this semester, so it really wasn't too bad. But it went well, and i'm glad we went first cause now it's over.
    Thanks girl! The place i looked at on Friday was so nice, i love it! I went back to my townhouse and filled out the application as soon as i got back. I am excited to live there!

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never...
