“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”

Where to start is a great question... I feel like God has done so much in such a little time within my life over the past couple of weeks from when I last posted. Its so funny how when you decided to let God have his way with your  life that things start to fall in place! Words can not describe how blessed I feel to have God's grace and forgiveness everyday that I wake up. I attended a church service the weekend before spring break that Mr.Steve preached on how God knows everything about us from our head to our toes. Of course growing up you always hear that there isnt a move, thought, or word spoken that God doesnt already know... matter of fact he knows it before you even do or say it. But this particular Sunday it sunk in and really made its way through my heart more than it ever has before. God knows my every thought even when their bad he knows my every word even if they are decitiful and he knows my every move even if they are against him...BUT he is so deeply and madly in love with me and forgives me before even asked. I am learning that every girls main relationship shouldnt be with "Mr.Right" or "their better half" but with God. He loves us unconditionally and his love never runs dry. With an intimiate relationship with God and seeking his will and plan for your life all things seem to just fall in place.
Throughout the sermon I began to thank God for sharing this through Mr. Steve and allowing me to be so blessed with an amazing family that has so many imperfections but loves perfectly and to be surrounded by so many friends that loyality,trust, and advice always seem to lift me up!
  I had some time to be alone in the midst of all 36 girls I went to spring break with and was able just to reflect on how far I ve come through my life spirtually and emotionally. It never fails that your trials and tribulations, heart aches and tears always bring you closer to the Lord! God always seems to be right there next to me to see me through the darkest days. As I was laying on the beach one day i had girls to the right and left of me sun bathing and some up playing football or in the water.. I was able to look up and reflect on each person i saw and how God had used them as a role in my life some way or another..( deep thinker i know) but i was so over whelmed on how I know something personal about everyone i was with their trials and tears to their greatest victories, their funny moments, stressfull days, etc. Some of those times being that we expirenced them together. Regardless God has put them in my life to teach me or for me the teach them.
 I ve often wondered why God has brought some people in my life and taken some out, what makes him choose who he will and will not leave in my life or the ones the bring into my life. ----> i am learning that sometimes God may reveal why or why not but for the most part you have to just TRUST! Just within the past month he has taken away and brought back people into my life that i am thankful for no matter the reason why. I am making memories with all these people that will impact me and that ill never forget.
I had an amazing time on spring break becoming closer with everyone and meeting new ones also.  I was able to see Chris and spend some time with him and his friends... that was very eventful and much needed.To sum it up spring break was a success!





After spring break I was able to come back and relax! Me and Chris and a hand full of his guy friends attended the St. Pattys day parade which was def worth the 3 hour wait prior to it starting we went to lunch and afterwards met up with family at Austins ball game... followed with eating some more and enjoying each others company. Sunday was very relaxing as i spent another night in Brandon.

 Just through this break alone God showed/is showing  me day by day to be patient and trust in him and his timing. I am so thankful for everyone he has put in my life and will continue to bring into my life for specific purposes that he wants. I ve realizing i have so much ahead of me and there is no sense and trying to rush all through it. Enjoy all of it and live in the moment and soak it all up! I am not sure if life could get much better! Life itself and being alive is such a beautiful thing within itself!
