Nintendo and Jesus!
I have some writers block today everytime I am about to write what I think I want to write and get about half way there and stumble on what to go off of next. So I guess will just write from what has been going on in my life. This past week has been very good. It has been kind of a hard few weeks lately just understanding what and why I go threw certain things. And it is amazing just how God simply sits you down and reveals to you exactly what it is and why you go threw it. That is at least when you are listing to him. I tend to be the one always talking but you probably have no idea what I’m taking about. Right? So lately I realized I had been meeting this block in my life, I wanted to go deeper I wanted to stop feeling like I kept running into the same situtations over and over again and I wanted to know WHY I was dealing with this! It was simple but yet so hard at the same time because it required me to first of all listen to God, and stop talking so much, second I need to be willing to do what he has asked me to do. See many think it is so easy to obey but, come on we are human and of course why would we do something if He asks us to be selfless. That is when Jesus said, Kateland you need to do this, and this, and this and all of a sudden I knew that he was right as usual. When I dealt with the situations as he had told me to a peace that surpassed all understanding came in my heart and I knew that this block no longer held me back. See sometimes it is hard to get over that block. Its like the nintendo game Mario if you don’t defeat the next level you are stuck there till you can find the way to beat it or the bad guy and if you run out of lives then you just eventually die there. I know, kind of morbid but, so very true at the same time. Honestly, I felt like I was up to one of my last lives and I final saw how to get past it and I got myself the mushroom to make me grow and powed myself threw some of the walls and got to that lovely green tube that would take me to the next level. Now if this metaphor did not make you laugh then I am sorry but I think it is great. Once we know how to defeat a level and come up against again you know how to face it and beat it no longer is it a block but a door way to what is next or a green tube if you want to stay with the theme. God is so willing to show us how if we are willing to listen and obey. A true life long lesson that I continually learn daily.
Have a great day! Kateland

Well Hi again,
I am so glad you came to read this lovely little blog today. How are you today? Well, I hope good. Today I went to the most important or one of the most important events in Wilkes County the Apple Festival. The whole town pretty much shuts down and they all eat horribly bad yet absolutely scrumptious food and of course they sell apples which is kind of what the whole festival is about. I can say it brought some comfort to me because it remind me a little of my state fair. I look forward every year but since I was here this year of course I did not go to it but the Apple festival made up for it the best that it could. I love seeing all the people come out and just have fun. It was something I defantly need I just felt like I have had so much on my mind lately and it has been a little frustrating with all going on here in my life and wishing I could be home to help them there. God though has been teaching so much on how to trust him and how he is protecting my family. I was really upset one day and he told me that Kateland did I not promise you that before you left that your family was under the protection of heaven and all the sudden I just had peace that surpasses all understand. God has really just been showing how he is constantly there for me. Through all that is constantly on my mind and things around me I have to be telling myself that everything is good as long as I trust God. Every little thing will be alright.
Later Kateland

This week has been very different. The wear and tear of taking online classes is beginning to set in and tolerance is diminishing. Its been sort of tough not to worry about certain things and trust that things will be worked out as they should. Sleep has been at a loss and my body(especially the back) is full of knots. I really want to be 100% relaxed. The other day I was just talking to God and asking Him to hold me in His arms. I finally went into a very restful two hour long nap. I think my goal, until I actually finally get, is to trust more and just rest.

There isn’t onething I love more then the rain. I know, you all maybe asking is she crazy and yes I probably am about the rain at least. You see most people see it as a draby let down kind of a day because its raining outside but that is the seceret about the rain. It is the onething that keeps us inside it clams people down from their fast pace lives. It was the onething I could always rely on that would bring family and friends together. When everything was cut off from us to do because of the rain we were able to enjoy each others company, talk, laugh, watch movies and make memories. It slowed us all down from our busy lives to just enjoy what we had infront of us and not what we had to do next or what we could be doing. We ceased the moment in the rain and just had fun with what we had before us. So you see, the rain is way more important then just making sure the earth is watered. It slows us down. It keeps us aware of what we have. It even makes us get to those projects that have been pushing aside done (ahahaha… yes that can be sort of dreadful at times because it may led t fix it projects but you never know it could be fun..). So next time it rains don’t hate it because it is stopping you from what you need to be doing. Maybe its just God saying hey I made it rain today just for you so you could enjoy me and what I have given to you. Love the rain it might just be what you need that day.
