These are the faces I am lead to serve

It's hard to know what the future entails.  It's hard not to question yourself in the choices you make or the things you do. But I'm not here to confuse myself.  I am here to serve.  I believe that no matter where to Lord leads me, it will be an experience of a lifetime.  I have a huge heart that I am ready to share with these children and I know they will find themselves comforted.  I am ready for them to show me things I've never dreamed of and to teach me more than I could ever learn in any classroom.

This is where I have been lead thus far, and I am ready to take it on with an eager heart!


Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions in truth 
1 John 3:18

And it was written in the sky...

LOVE LIFE!

Thanks for the reminder Hol!

Remember

It was exactly one month yesterday when my world lost a very special girl.  It still seems unreal, but in time I've seen people begin to heal.  Since this has happened I promised myself I would love life the way she did, and I have to admit I could do a much better job of it.  Lately, I know I have been selfish.  I want to change that.  Just because time has passed doesn't mean I should forget what I have learned after all of this, otherwise losing her would be for nothing.  So I guess I want to take the time right now to remember.

Laugh at the moments of pure joy.

Smile because you're here.

Sing and dance with your friends.

Drive just to go somewhere.

Reflect on the past, and day dream about the future.

Enjoy the time you have, even if it's not what you want to be doing.

Be thankful for everyday because it's one more day to make new memories.

Cherish every moment.

And love life.

Young Days

Today, the subject of college came up.  As we were driving home from the beach someone said "College is the greatest time.  It's when everyone our age comes together and just gets to be young.  If it wasn't for all the classes, it would be perfect." 

 I've been thinking lately how lucky I am to be in this place in my life.  It's been great to experience these new things with amazing people.  There are so many people I've met that just have such unbelievable hearts.  I've enjoyed getting to know all of them and spending my days with them.  We are all growing together, finding ourselves, and it helps that we can hold each other accountable throughout these next few years.

Beach days will never get old with the people I love.  It's in these days where we find ourselves.  

Thank the Lord for this beautiful, relaxing day.

Praying for Guidance

The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.  I will advise you and watch over you."

Psalm 32:8

I just have to let go of all control and give myself fully to Him.

Love Life

Life is hard, but everyone knows that.  It's how you decide to handle the troubles that come in your way.  You can easily give up, but it's those who pull through who get the most out of life.  Within the last few weeks it's been too easy to see every thing that was going awry.  Losing people, saying goodbye, starting new, becoming more responsible.  All of these things have been tearing me down, but I haven't taken the time to look at the positives.  Though these bad things seem so dark, you can find beauty through it all.  You just have to look.  

I'm not here today to point out all of the wrongs that have been done thus far.  I am not here to mope around about things I wish I could change.  I'm here to live a full life.  One that people can be proud of and look up to.  A life full of laughs, adventures, and well learned lessons.  Everyday I can sit and wait, but I know there will always be something beautiful to come.  There is always something to appreciate and always something to look forward to.  It will be be hard to wait, but I have to remember God has me here for a reason.  And there is so much more He wants me to discover.

Focus...
