A New Chapter

There is a new chapter in my life that is just waiting and anticipating to come forth in my life. A chapter that I never thought would come soon enough. It is the chapter in my life that reveals what I have a passion for in life and what I'm supposed to do with my time. I have finally found out what that one thing is - It is to write.


I remember, when I was just a little girl, I would write stories and screenplays of my life and sometimes of little cartoons that I had watched that day. But, I always found such a joy within doing it and loved feeling the accomplishment of finishing it. I just wanted and needed someone to read it, approve of it and give me that great feeling that I had done a great job on something. I never had that feeling, unless I was writing. Now that I fully understand and know what it is I want to do... I want to embellish a bit on my talent. I could change the world with my writing. I could change a person's life with my writing. I want to make that impact. But, it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get to that point in my slowly growing career.

This week, I decided that I wanted to put together a book and I just happened to find a friend that wanted to help me with it. A fellow blogger, a gal that I have known for quite some time and a gal that I went to church with. This was something that I would only dream about, when I was younger. Now that it's finally happening, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that this dream becomes a reality.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The Life of a Working Woman

Hello, my name is Megan and this is my very first time using a blog... So, please... Bare with me.

I live in an interesting town full of interesting people. There are some that are homeless and some that are so consumed in their work, that they have no life outside of it. Some that are full of greed and anger and some that are full of happiness and joy. They always seem to go to both extremes and I have to say that I love it. It keeps the whole town on their toes.

Having graduated high school, I thought that my life would be completely different than what it is now. I always thought that I would go through college, get whatever degree I needed, transfer to a film school and then become a director. My oh my, how wrong I was. I was young and naive. Still am. But, I'm starting to learn more about how life really goes. How life isn't always flowers and roses. It's not always a walk in the park. It's not a cake walk. Life sucks and it's not always fair. But, it's also what you make it. If you WANT to be successful, you will be. If you WANT to be a famous movie director... You CAN be. It just takes a lot of time and effort.

I recently got hired at Starbucks, by an amazing manager and this is my very first job. My first day, though I was not working straight away, was beyond nerve-wrecking. Every little thing that went on at that store, which is a lot of little things, freaked me out. I thought to myself, "Lord, what have I gotten myself into?". I was so scared that I was setting myself up for failure. That I would never make it out alive. Well... It's over two months later and I'm still here. I'm just fine. It's taken a while to get used to things, but I'm slowly getting the hang of being a working woman. It's a lot of adjusting.

So, if there is ever a time that you are stuck in a situation that you ask God the same thing that I asked Him... You don't need to fear. He's ALWAYS going to be by your side. Through thick and thin. He'll protect you and make sure that everything is okay in the end.

You'll be just fine.
