God is good.

I feel so blessed with my life right now. I have a wedding in the near future, a wonderful fiancé' who loves me, amazing friends who always support me and lift me up, and in all this I have to give credit to my maker. God has truly blessed me these past few months, I fail him everyday, but he still continues to help out and give me my heart's desire.

As some of you know, my dream is to become a director. For about a month now, I have been waking up at 4am on the weekends to get ready and be at WCYB by 6am, to watch and practice directing. Let me point out that I am in no way a morning person. I hate waking up early, I'm very grumpy and impatient and so very tired. But God, who knows this about me, has given me enough energy to get up and get ready (a long hot shower and coffee doesn't hurt in this routine either!) It's also a very humbling process, realizing that you know very little and working very hard to reach this goal. I pay attention, ask lots and lots of questions, I'm sure I drive the director (patrick) insane, but he's always very patient. I also work with a couple of my classmates, one of them a very close friend (woody) is always cheering me on. He is great at making me feel better. So, yesterday I directed my first morning show weather, it went very well and this morning I directed the weather again. The only mistake was I pushed the wrong button to roll the tease bump, and a still frame was placed in program. I also direct recorded updates, I sometimes have problems with these but this morning, they were flawless. Thank you God, because he deserves all the credit!!

 I could not ask for a better life right now. The wedding planning is going great. We have a venue, a photographer, a videographer, we're still working on a caterer. I have a florist, a wedding planner, my dress, the perfect man to be my husband, and a God who will never forsake us. Isn't that great?

I constantly have to remind myself that even though I struggle, I am never alone, and I also don't have that bad of a life. I watch the news 24-7 it seems, 5 times a day when I work, and it breaks my heart (yes I have one) to see what some people have to go through.

Okay, now I'm going to take a nap, because even though I wake up early to go in for the morning show, I have to be back at work by 4:45pm to do the night shift, but tomorrow is my weekend.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.
-Psalm 100:5

Be blessed today
Much Love,
Callie Marie.
