Reflecting

I never realized how fast time has gone. It's so neat to reflect on the past, not dwell, but reflect because it makes you realize how you got to this point in your life. I am so thankful for everything, good or even the bad, that has happened in my life. I learned that even the wrong that goes on in our life, only makes us grow stronger and makes us to want to do better, to be better. I realize now, that even though I came to York College for Nursing, which let's face it, Me a Nurse?!?! hahahaha. I mean personality wise I can do it, actually becoming one I am definitely capable to do the work, but I can't imagine myself for the rest of my life being one. But even though I came to this school, that I used to hate, I am learning to like it. It brough me to my new major, it brought me to my friends here, and it brings me here a little more than one year until I can graduate early, next December. With the help of God, it will happen.
I also think it's neat how wonderful God knows myself better than I do. I thought I knew what I wanted in life, in guys, in friends, but what I thought was amazing is nothing to compared to what God has blessed me with.
God has blessed me with a wonderful family and wonderful friends, who are always there for me. I realize that I take this for granted at times, but I want them to know that I am so thankful for everything they do for me.
Also, God has blessed me with an amazing Boyfriend. Not only is he the love of my life, but definitely my Best Friend. I love him so much and even though I don't get to see him as much as I would like, the time we do spend together is amazing. I am so thankful and blessed. Who knew that when I signed up to be a camp counselor, I would fall in love with my best friend last summer. God's plan is so much bigger than our own and in the end so much better.

Oh how I love being an Aunt!

The cutest nephews a girl can ask for: Toby and newborn Finley, cheering on the Ravens! WOOHOO!

Leaning on God in Every Situation

Today is a new day, a new start to what God has in store for me. The past year and a half has been wonderful and truly a gift from God. I find myself with more confidence and more focus on who I am and who I want to become. At times, I feel as if why am I in school? What's the point of this? Honestly, at times I am right...at times higher education is so overrated. But then I think about it and to be honest, I think it's the experience of living on your own and getting out there is the part that I am learning the most from. Now don't get me wrong, I am learning a fair amount in the classroom (Don't worry Mom and Dad, your dollars aren't at waste). I just feel like sometimes, I wish I would have taken a year off before I went to college and traveled the world, doing volunteer work and making a difference. I guess there is time for everything, but that's thing we take time for granted. Time is a gift from God. I guess right now what I need to do is fully lean on Him in order to figure out things. I know an idea of what I want to do with my life, but the whole thing is how to get to that point. I guess I will figure it out one way or another, but for right now the only thing to remember is God is good and He will help direct me in the right direction.
