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!
