I realize it has been almost a year since my last post. I thought I would change that by telling you a little of what life has been like the last 11 months. I can start by tell you some highlights of the year. First my grades were very good and I made the Dean's list both semesters. Made some lasting friendships that have been an incredible blessing. Went on a trip with Matt to D.C. And God has taught me a lot!!!
My cousin got married!


One of my closest friends Jenna now has been an amazing blessing and I would not have made it through this summer without her.. She is definitely the funniest person I've ever meet.

I have had a new roommate Melissa who is a basketball player at our school and has been a good friend of Mia and mine this last year.
I had my first Valentine who was incredibly romantic..

Took an amazing trip to Washington D.C.. one of the best weeks of my life. I didn't meet the president but I did go into the pentagon and got to walk all over- I have scars on my feet from my shoes to prove it.

Spent the day at a waterfall with my BEST friends

Went to the cardinals game


I also got to work in a daycare the beginning of this summer with some pretty amazing three year olds who may have been the only thing keeping my sane..
I have always had a difficult time sharing this part of my life and actually being honest about my feelings.. so your lucky I'm learning to be vulnerable. I am now single once again which has been an incredible struggle this summer. Not so much the part about being single but that I no longer have Matt, which scares me to death. Regardless of how long I had planned for this break to be as with most things in life it didn't exactly go the way I had planned and am now only trusting in God and praying for the future. I know that regardless of the future and all the pain this has caused me it has been a good thing for me to experience.. God has taught me many things and has shown me the areas of my life that are needing to change. I currently only have hope because of Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” And so I continue to hope but am trying to surrender it(our relationship) to God's time and plan.
God has been speaking to me daily and encourages me during the day by sending me blessings. Its true God is a comforter!! He has brought me to a place where (what feels like to me) I am completely broken and am in need of direction. I think sometimes we need to be in that spot for God to move us and change us completely..
I have had many other difficult things happen this summer that have forced me to adjust my life.
I also have many things to look forward to and everyday am beginning to bring new joys into my life, and trying to continue to have faith that God can change people.
