2008

I am sitting in the car going to my granddads house again for Christmas turkey leftovers. This Christmas wasn’t about presents my parents didn’t have much money it was basically about being with each other. Yes I got the gift I really wanted and all the other stuff was small stuff. But I didn’t want a lot all I wanted was love from family and friends. I saw Marley and me today and it was a sad movie in the end making me think of my cat(it was a movie about a dog). I am just think past on the last year how I have changed. I have more fully given my all to God there is no more doubting him I give him all my cares and wants. He has always been there for me since before I was born. Which is my favorite part of it one of my favorite bible verse is about God knowing me before my mothers womb the verse in Psalms that I cant think of.

When I think about what has happened this year sooo much of me has changed I have grown up. To make me grow closer to God unfortunately I had to let a best friend of mine go but luckily I had a good support system to help me. When I did that some awesome things happened. I am a happy person but I just became happier not having a negative person drag me down. I have an awesome family who noticed I became a lot happier. I have 2 awesome best friends who will be there for me forever. They helped me through a lot too. They know I have my faith even though sometimes we believe different things they know I love them. I met some awesome people this year. In my classes I made new friends who are really nice and cool people and we got a good grade on our project!! I met someone well kinda but not really and with them having a heart following after God kinda helped me wanting the same thing. Now I cant get enough of the Bible and learning new things. This person probably doesn’t know that and I really look up to them!! I got to see the guy who is like my brother in the military and his fiancé this weekend he showed me that I can go to him with any advice I want and he will give me Godly advice. I need to get back on track with my weight this year it hasn’t been the best but I know I should get to goal next year I need everyone’s help! One thing I have learned also is patience I know God has a plan in my life and I want to wait for Him so I know it is done the right way.

Next year is going to be crazy and I can see what God has in store for me. I turn 21 (not like I am going to drink), I have 2 wedding I am in (one being my brothers), and lots more!! 2009 is going to rock because I know I have a Father who loves me sooo much and even died for me and that is the most exciting thing!! I know he is with me forever( I am listening to the song forever). I challenge you next year to give your life to God fully. See what amazing things he does in your life!! I know God will provide me with the wisdom and knowledge on how to live my life. I know he is with me always wherever I am and I was to serve Him with my whole heart. My theme kinda for my life is like the pictures I have made with the bible verses in Proverbs. I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman and I am next year going to pray for God to give me wisdom.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Phil. 4:13
