Often it seems people look back on their lives or on the last last year and can easily pick out what they should of done different. That they should of said this or not said that. Shouldn't of gone there or definitely was right in being here. As I reviewed and contemplated the 18th year of my life last night I can honestly say it just may have been the best one yet!
Looking back on the many lessons God has taught me, the dozens of new people he brought into my life, the relationships I have had, the journey's I've travelled, the decisions I've made...
I had one feeling: proud.
I could not be more proud of my last year and I can't properly express how excited I am for my future.
In the last year :: the three greatest lessons learned : love and thankfulness and patience
credit (besides God that is :) ) ::
thankfulness: one specific boy patience: ten specific girls love: three specific girls : posse
friends gained: uncountable
experiences : relationships, cultures, food, love of people
and amongst all that : small miracles, amazing grace, love, trust, God's provision in my life
In the next year ::
Following God's plan and call on my life!! 1. Get to Africa 2. work 3. more education?
However, only #1 is for sure in the plan. Lord willing I'll get there and come home and then the other 2 may follow :)
A sincere thank you. thank you if you have been involved in my life thus far. Every single moment has been preparing me for this moment, this 19th year. I was created and born to live this 19th year with the lessons I learned in the last 18, with the love and grace that God has poured out on me. Whether this is in Canada or Uganda or Guatemala I know God has something spectacular in His plan for me this year. My family, my church(es), my friends, my schools, my jobs. You all have had and have your place in my life and have contributed to the person I am today. may the Lord bless you and give you peace. muchas gracias!
