2009 in recap

Although this year has been a hard year for many people, I have many things to be thankful for and wanted to recall them as we head into a new year full of adventures and journeys.

  • Having an intimate relationship with a God who loves me unconditionally
  • A family that I love being around and who support me and make me smile every day
  • A boyfriend who is also my best friend and who encourages me through every adventure life presents
  • Leading an amazing group of high school girls in their walk with God
  • Being able to go to Vietnam over the summer
  • Seeing pure joy in the kids eyes at the orphanages it was like Jesus was looking right at me
  • Being placed with two awesome, godly roommates at UNT
  • Time spent eating with friends or playing games, just enjoying each other
  • Forming a Bible study group with our campus park girls
  • Joy from knowing I am where God has called me to be
  • Learning to be patient and obedient through my long stretch with Mono
  • Realizing how precious of a gift life is from God
  • Being able to see lots of extended family all through out the year
  • Seeing my brother grow in his relationship with God
  • Having many adventures with Kyle that have lead us to all kinds of restuarants, cities, states, and all filled with laughs and pictures
  • The time I have gotten to spend reading with the kids in Haltom City each week
  • All the amazing people that have had an impact on my life small or large

A few goals I have for this year:
  • Read through my ESV Study Bible this year
  • Make relationships with people in my classes
  • Be a prayer warrior in all situations
  • Be unashamed and unembarrassed to share the love and light of God with people
  • Put others before my self

Hope your holiday season was wonderful and relaxing!
