With A Smile On My Face

Ryan and I were driving in the mountains on Sunday, just enjoying the beauty and somehow my mind had wandered (ok, it does that a lot and I don't know how to shut it off most of the time.). Apparently, I had this look on my face like I was really thinking about something. I think I had a smile on my face. I noticed that he looked over a few times and then he finally asked what I was thinking. My smile got bigger and I chuckled a bit and just said, “Life is funny. Sometimes it hits me that I live in Roosevelt, Utah.”

It's funny how God works. A year ago, I would never in a million years have imagined that I would be where I am today. I was happy working at the church, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my family...just living life. Little did I know that in January I would be laid off from my job and wondering what was next. Little did I know, that in God's perfect timing, He had put Ryan into my life only 2 short weeks before that lay off. And so, now, here I am 7 months later, living in Roosevelt, Utah (don't worry, I had to look it up on a map, too :) ), dating the amazing Ryan, and working for the state of Utah helping others who have been laid off or who are in financial need.

Life is funny, life is good, and life is definitely unpredictable. I love my God and I love how He works!
