Hommus is Yummus

Today was my day off...YAY!! Sort of, I still ran a million errands.  I had to go make sure my TB test was negative and make copies of my teaching certificate and fingerprints for the Davidson county school district to start subbing.  For those of you who don't know I still don't have a teaching job and school starts Monday.  I realize in this city, it's who you know.  So with subbing I'm hoping to make connections and apparently Nashville is notorious for hiring new teachers the week off.  GREAT!! not really..

In this season I have learned patience and trust.  That's truly all I can do and the Lord is stretching me and challenging me more then ever in my life.  I feel like my life thus far has consisted of favor and blessing.  Most of my friends always say "Things just always work out for you".  Truly they do, looking back.  My whole life things have just been handed to me, my parents blessed my life, paid for 14 years of dance lessons and anything I wanted to do, paid for college, didn't really have to work for anything, got a teaching job right out of college.  It has really just all worked out. 

Then I move without knowing if I have a job and only knowing my roomies and my neighbors.  God was truly asking for trust and faith.  So that's what I'm trying my best at.  Now the doors are opening.  If I don't get a teaching job by next week I got offered an AMAZING nanny position full time for a year.  This position could require me to travel with the family (most are touring musicians).  WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE and the pay is excellent.  After talking to a teacher mentor she told me it's OK to take a year off to get to know the city and school districts and make more connections.  PLUS I'll be getting my masters degree next fall in Nashville....YAY SCHOOL!!

Or possibly London...more to come on that ;)

So while I'm in the waiting room of life, His love is still pouring out on me as he is increasing my faith!

Now onto food for today.

For breakfast I had a flax seed GF waffle and some raspberries..sorry no picture..but it was YUMMY.

Then I snacked on some dried berries all day from Trader Joes...and I might have finished the bag...whoops!!

I was not hungry by dinner but my friends/next door neighbors William and Hannah invited me over for dinner. 

I love them..God blessed me with some awesome neighbors...truly

The soup Hannah made had Gluten in it, which was totally fine because I was not hungry so I brought over some roasted red pepper hommus and organic carrots to snack on.

I only eat organic if it come from the ground, because that's what they said on "The Today Show" and they are always right. ;)

Then I went home walked two steps to my house ;) and did Jillian Michaels six week six pack. 

My Roomie Stephanie who hates running actually ran with me last night!!! My ankles hurt today so I thought I would rest them and do some intense abs and plyos instead.

Before bed I'm drinking some Chamomile tea to help me sleep (in a cute mug...PS I collect cute mugs...not the ugly ones you buy in a souvenir shop...like cute designer ones)...I have an early morning...goodnight y'all!!

Jimmy Eat World video for tonight...I was listening to them today and it brought back some great memories in high school...one of my favorite bands of all time hands down!!

Blessing Darlings!
