This week I have officially started my last semester of my senior year in high school and my last semester in college before I get my AA degree. One day in and I already cannot wait for spring break!! This is depressing. I am praying that God will prepare my mind and body for another 4 months of caffine overdoses and all-nighers. Its tiring and its hard, but I know good things come to those who wait and are willing to work hard. I know I need to take things one day at a time
Tomorrow is also my last weightlifting meet...ever. This is something that has been a huge part of my life for the past 6 years... yes 6, and it's hard to think that it will be over. I have poured so much time and energy and heart into this sport; suffered bruises, sore muscles, injuries, sweat, tears... and now its coming to a close. I lead a devotion and prayer before every meet and tomorrow will be the last time that I will be able to do that. I've spent the last couple of days looking back on all the years: how our program has changed, how I have changed, all the people that have come and gone, all the friends I have made. Weightlifting has taught me a lot. It taught me discipline, hard work, drive, and how I have to go after what I want, I cant just sit back and wait for things to come to me.... so yeah, its definately bittersweet, but I am also looking ahead to what else God has in store for me and how I will be able to use the extra time to further His kingdom :)

2013 Here I Come!!!
So a new year is underway, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me this year. 2012 was great. I had my ups and down of course, but all in all I cant complain too bad. Now I would have loved to start the year at Passion 2013, but that didnt quite happen, so I am thankful for the few sessions I got to watch online. But, this year seems promising! I am one of the lucky few that get to graduate high school with an AA degree. Free college... need I say anymore??! I also turn 18 this year, which is exciting :) So, yes a lot of good will come.
With that excitement, also comes fear and uncertainty. I still have doubts about where I want to go to college. I got accepted into Stetson University, which is amazing, but my family would love for me to stay close and attend college at the University of Florida. I mean I have always been a huge gator fan, but I am not quite sure if thats where God wants me to go. My ulitimate goal is to live in His will and purpose for my life, and right now, I do not know what all that entails... it scares me. But, I have faith that no matter where God leads me, or what happens, He will get me through. That is such a sweet peace to have in the mist of all life's craziness. I look forward to a really good year.. I know it will be one to remember !!!
P.S: if anybody knows how to get this black background thingy off my blog, your help would be greatly appericated! One of my resoultions is to keep up with this, and I have absolutely no clue what I am doing :(
