They say "Time flies when you're having fun".... so how do you fly with it?

   So it seems rightly fair to post when there is but one week until I am 22 years old. 7 days until I am no longer 21. I have to admit, I never thought I would have gone through so much in a years time, but that just goes to show how much you learn over your life, and how much things change from childhood to adulthood.

   Take for instance, this week. At the beginning of this week I felt like I failed somehow. Now, at the end of this week I feel like God is using everyday, good or bad; to teach me and show me just how much he loves me. How he wants me to react and treat others, and how I shouldn't allow negative thoughts to overpower the truth in His Word.

  Like, he would never tell me that I am a failure, or that I will never amount to anything. He would tell me to try again, but maybe in a different way. He would tell me:
      Jerimiah 29:11-13 NIV 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. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
 
  I know without any doubt in my mind, that God will never leave me or forsake me. and for that, and so much more I am forever grateful. I am excited to see what his plans are for me in the coming weeks, months and years. He has already done so much in bringing me back into his arms, I can only imagine what he has planned for me next. Until next time... I pray you have a blessed day for reading my blog. =D

An Introductorial Assumption

Its funny how much your perspective changes from being 6 yrs old to being 21. Don't get me wrong, I knew and still know that my perspective will probably be ever changing due to new experiences and maturity and all that. I am just beside myself on how different things are now than what I had hoped.

When I was six years old, I was so sure of myself. I knew exactly what I wanted. I thought that at 21, I would be married, have my own house, drive an expensive car and I would always wear heels. Right now I am single, between vehicles, living at home with my parents, I only wear heels on special occasions.. and even then only to dinner.

I assumed that I would have it all together, be a college graduate, and be happily ever after. Right now, I am working at a great job, but I haven't taken any college courses yet. I suppose I just haven't decided what I would like to invest in... For education that is. I have played with so many different ideas of what I want to do for a career. I thought about becoming a Writer. An Artist. A Radiology tech. A Chef. A Fashion Designer. An Interior Designer. A counselor. So many different choices. I have prayed about it, but I haven't gotten any clear direction yet.

 Perhaps in due time, things will fall into place. Right now I am working on my family relationships, my church life, and my relationship with God. Things have changed so radically in the past year I am beginning to savor each day just a little more. It seems time flies faster, and faster as the years go by.. Especially the past few months.. October seems like yesterday. I remember it so vividly... Its hard to believe that I will be 22 in under a week and a half. My brother will be 20 years old this year. My youngest sister will be 16.

Tomorrow is a new day, and I hope that it will be more productive than today was. Goodnight World.
