When I first started this blog, it was kind of on a whim. I mean, I had thought about having a blog before, but never did anything about it. But one random day, I decided to do it. It was very out of the blue! So, the point of me telling you this is to say, the name was also very much on a whim. It was the first, actually it was the only thing that came to my mind. "A Day in the Life of Kaci"....how original, right?!
So I have been trying to think of something clever for a while, but I am not very creative when it comes to this kind of thing. I was at a loss.
I was talking to a friend (who is creative with this kind of stuff) about what to name a bible study I was starting up....and might I add that bible study still has the name of "Online Bible Study". See...all the creativeness is just overflowing from me! ;) Anyway, she gave me a list of possible ideas, one of them being "The Pursuit". That one really caught my attention, but not for the bible study. I mean, it would be a great name for the bible study, but I kept thinking about my blog!
I decided to look up the definition of pursuit and this is what I found: the act of pursuing; an effort to secure or attain; quest. How fitting! My pursuit of Jesus!
You see, blogging isn't just about sharing with my family and friends or whoever is reading this, about my life and what I am up to. I mean, yes, I guess that is part of it. But the other part is for myself! I'm not that girl who keeps a journal. I do, but I definitely don't write in it every day, every week, or even every other week. Sometimes it can be a monthly occurrence....if that. I tend to get "busy" and I forget to take time to reflect on my day. Then I get to the point of being completely overwhelmed by all the thoughts going on in my head, but don't take the time to "sort through". So, this blog helps me to stop and do just that...sit down and think. It makes me reflect on things I have done, what I have heard, things I have seen, things I have read, and conversations I have had, etc. and etc.. I can't promise I am going to share my deepest, darkest (muahaha) secrets with you, but I will tell you what I can promise to share with you...my pursuit of Jesus! My journey, as I walk through this life with the Lord. Cheesy? I know...it is. But it's the truth.
So what exactly does that include? Well...things I am doing. Places I go. Things I experience. Adventures with my crazy awesome friends and the crazy stuff we do just because we can. Challenges I am facing. Pictures I take. Awesome things that happen to me. Sad things that happen. A bible verse I like, or a song! What God is teaching me/showing me. You get the idea....
I have been doing a very poor job of blogging recently, so that was the other motivation for "the change". I needed to make it new and exciting. And already I have so many "thoughts" I want to share with you so be ready! ;)
Aside from all of that, blogging is just really fun for me! And this is a warning...if you have read my blog before, you have most likely figured out by now that I am not a writer. I most likely don't always use the correct grammar. I don't always say things in the best way. Sometimes what I write may make absolutely no sense to anybody who is not inside of my head! But I have decided that I don't care....I will keep blogging anyway...even if nobody is reading it!
(Side note: the actual website address is still the same....the thing you type in your browser to get to this page. That will eventually happen, just not quite yet! I will give you a heads up for sure before I change that so you are able to find it!)
If you do choose to keep reading my blog, I am so happy you will be joining me in my pursuit! My pursuit of Jesus and the adventure that He is taking me on in this thing called life!
On a different note....
For those who don't know, I work at Billy Vanilly Cupcakes here in Topeka. Let me tell ya, my boss knows how to make some yummy cupcakes and she is sharing that talent with all of her employees! But, I should make it clear that I do not make the cupcakes. I just work up front. When I tell people (especially those who have had the cupcakes before) where I work, they get so excited. Then they ask the question, "So you make the cupcakes?" and when my answer is "no, I just sell them." they always seem so disappointed. But the truth is...I love selling the cupcakes! :)
Anyway, on with the story.
Once you work at a cupcake bakery, I have learned that you just automatically become the cupcake lady. Seriously. I get picture text messages from friends of cupcakes, pretty sure almost every card I got for my birthday had at least one cupcake on it, and when my friends go to different countries, they brink me back cupcake things! :)
My friend Erin who was in France, and my friend (and my little brother Dustin's girlfriend) Chrissy who was in London, brought me back these.....
