I want to reflect on this past year because it has been an incredible one (:
1) I had the opportunity to see some amazing friends and family get married this year! So blessed to know Kate&Robert, Matthias&Keilah, and my wonderful cousin Susan.
2) I got to see another friend get engaged, and share in the joy of their love!
3) The opportunity to sing (with two of the best girls around) at my first wedding, it was a blessed experience.
4) I received the worst grades of my school career, a blessing in disguise.
5) I received the best grades of my school career, a relief.
6) Fell in and out and in love with God. It's an ever growing relationship with my Creator.
7) I began dating and fell in love with one of the most inspiring, open hearted, Godly men I know.
8) Made brand new friends, and what an incredible blessing they are!
9) Caught myself more than once saying or doing something that wasn't glorifying and stopped myself - it's ever growing.
10) I got my first two tattoos.
11) Remembered my friend on the year anniversary of her death, RIP Chels.
12) Prayed with my girls for guidance and peace, love and mercy...and then prayed again, and again, and again.
13) Discussed sex and the nitty-gritty details with pastors, priests, professors, and a rabi in front of my entire school.
14) Started working two jobs, and going to school full time.
15) Managed and definitely didn't manage my stress properly. It takes time.
16) Stepped foot into the studio with an incredibly talented girl and started something I love!
17) Realized it is not always my responsibility, or even my business. However, I am created to listen and to speak with words given to me by the only true Healer.
18) Became unsure of what God wants for me to do - but I am incredibly excited to seek Him for the answer.
19) Realized how strong I really am.
20) Became inspired beyond belief by my friends who chase their dreams through love and grace.
21) I turned 20 years old, and found that nothing is for certain but Love Never Fails.
I've learned a few things, and I pray I've helped people learn a few things. I don't want to make New Year's Resolutions, but I do want to live my life by love and nothing else. I want to walk in the footsteps of my Maker with the ones I love. I've been blessed by Him to live another year and be so happy in the storms because He is only growing me.
until next year (:
