What am I doing here?

Ahh! The feeling of my fingers typing on the keyboard.  Picking the new back ground. Deciding what my header should look like.  Sharing my thoughts.  It's nice to be back! I've taken a couple year vacation from blog spot.  Ok... so it wasn't a planned vacation... I got busy.  Life is crazy like that.  ;) The other day I started thinking about blogging, and I realized how much I missed it.  I thought about blogging again on my old blog Praising the Lord in All Things. But as I was thinking, I decided I wanted a fresh start.  Here enters One Day at a Time. :)

Why the name?
As I considered my new blog I began thinking of names.  The first few names I considered were really cheesy.  I mean really cheesy. I didn't want a typical blog name. I sat down and thought about what God has been teaching me in the last couple months.  There were so many things to chose from.  But one of the top lessons I've learned is that I need to learn to trust God one day at a time.  I get stressed really easy.  I'll probably have gray hair by age 25.  It's so easy to get bogged down as I look at the future.  I don't know where the Lord is leading me.  That's alright.  What He's called me to do right now is trust Him.  I'm going to take life one day at a time learning to trust my Savior even on those stressful days.

Who is this?

4. I have a pet turtle named Leonardo (no, he is not named after the teenage ninja turtle.  He's named after Leonardo Dicaprio)
5. I've been listening to Christmas music since September
6. I have 3 sisters, no brothers (though I've claimed many of my closest guy friends as brothers)
7. I love to sing all the time
8. I teach 3 ballet classes a week and take 2 classes as well as an extra dance practice.
9. I listen to music 24/7

Extra Bonus: favorite verses 1 Corinthians 1:8- "He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 15:13- "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

So excited to be blogging again.  Can't wait to share with you all my random thoughts (and trust me... there's a lot)
In His amazing love,
Katie
