Choose Joy

In the past 3 months, I have graduated college, ended my softball journey, and started a new career. It is a new and exciting time in life! That being said, I felt like it was the perfect time to dive into the world of blogging and writing again.

With any new phase in life their comes new opportunities, new challenges, and new adventures. I can honestly say that the past few months have been a whirl wind. Exciting, scary, challenging, fun, and confusing all at the same time. After having a busy college schedule being a student athlete, the reality of becoming an accountant and sitting at a desk all day wasn’t too appealing. I felt caged in and cut off from the outside world. Learning to find joy in my new role and create a balance between work, relaxation, fitness, social activities etc. was quite difficult at first. I’m sure many of you can relate to the crazy balance of things that make up our life.


If you are like me and going through a transition time in your life or just striving towards a goal, I can promise you that you aren't alone. Transition times are hard- for everyone. At this moment, you may feel like you are never going to reach your goal or get used to that new pace of life, but don't let yourself believe that lie. I can tell you from experience that it does get better. God has shown me how to truly embrace my role as an accountant and how to find joy throughout every moment of life. I know He will do the same for you!

Wherever you are right now God has you perfectly there. Choose to trust Him and to find joy even when it may be difficult. He knows exactly what's going on, He has a plan, and He is in control. Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

Be encouraged today because even when we can’t see it God is making a way!
