I just re-discovered my blog. This happens about once a year. I always enjoy it so that I can reflect on who I was and who I am today. The last time I wrote I was 21, still working on my undergrad, 3o pounds overweight, doing everything so my future would be set and not very content with my life. It is amazing to me the story of my life that God has written between that time and now.
Between then and now I...
Dated someone
Built a little family with amazing people
Backslid horribly
Have seen the wages of sin
Moved in with my best friend in an apartment where our boyfriends live in the one below us
Got a grown-up job
Realized how much I don't want to work at an office job for the rest of my life
Broke up with that someone
Graduated college
Went through the hardest time probably in my entire life
Have drawn closer to God than I ever have
Began to learn what it truly means to give it all to Him
Witnessed what faith and prayer can do
Rekindled some pretty amazing friendships
Been blessed with amazing new friendships
Ran a 6K
Lost 33 pounds
Got accepted into grad school at Reformed Theological Seminary for my Masters in Counseling
Been provided a live-in nanny job where I do not have to pay rent
Continue to be redeemed by my Savior
Continue to seek his face every day.
My life is no where near where I thought it would be today. Praise God for that. Everyday is a battle with ups and downs. Everyday it is essential that I cry out to Jesus and trust him to continue redeeming me.
Thank You God for where you have brought me and where you are going to take me.
"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again." -Psalm 71:20-22
