Hmmmm, staying positive without the chaos?

My kids are gone. They are with their dad for the next two weeks. Nope, not happy about this, not happy at all. But I am going to stay positive. I am going to do the best I can to enjoy this time.
So, I decided (after one and a half days on the couch), that I needed a purpose for my alone times. I do have tasks in mind...things that I'd like to get done, but eh. I don't really care if I get the storage room clean. Yes, it needs to be done, but if I don't have some sort of structure, it won't get done! I know this about me.
After much consideration and praying, I decided to do something I've meant to do for awhile. I signed up to volunteer at the Lifeline pregnancy center. Since I was only 18 when I was pregnant with Jessy, I used their services (or something similar). I want to give back. I want to use this time of being alone to give back to those who helped me get started. Granted, I had it better than a lot of pregnant 18 year olds. I had graduated, and I had a boyfriend that wanted to marry me. Should I have married him? Well, that is a question for another day!!!
I start tomorrow morning at 9am. I now have a reason to get up in the morning...a reason to get out of bed. I'm going to make this time positive.
Because, that's what Jesus would do, right?

Till next time.
