Ashlee Simpson what?

Good evening!

Yikes!! Ashlee Simspon just sang on the Radio Music Awards and it was far from amazing!! Honestly, her 'Pieces of Me' song is really good, even when she sings it live... but every other song I've heard her sing is just screaming and rarely on the right notes. No wonder she ripped her vocal chords to shreds I'm telling you, if my friends and I were really really hot, lived in L.A, and/or related to someone really famous we'd be soooo famous it's ridiculous!! The only people I have heard of that were actually trained in music are Norah Jones, Usher and Alicia Keys. I don't doubt it because they actually have a lot of talent. Ashlee's songs are pretty darn fun to sing along to, though, you gotta give her that!

So, you know what I hate?? I hate waiting. There's a lot of reasons why that could be. Maybe because I am selfish and want what other people have. Maybe because I am impatient and, much like the British brat from Willy Wonka, "I want it now!" Maybe because I am anxious. Anxious for my life to begin. More than likely, however, it's some horrible combination of all three. I have been talking to a few friends recently and their lives are going so well. One's life has completely flipped around since graduation and things are going soo well, another is in a wonderful committed marriage and two more are in amazing Christ-centered relationships. It's tough because, although I am extremely happy for all of those friends, I'd really like to be that happy about my life. The thing that just boggles my mind and something I struggle with on a daily basis is the fact that I am that happy about my life. I am doing amazing things (through Christ) with my clients here in Cleveland and I am in no way ready for one of those relationships I previously mentioned, but I can't help but want all of that and I can't help but be just a little envious of those who already have it.

Like I said, it's a daily struggle for me. "Future plans" is a definite area where Satan knows he can shake me. I wish I did better with remaining unshaken... but I'll get there. With His help, I know I will :)

Blessings,
