2011

This past year has had many joyful times and many sorrowful times. The year started out very sorrowful, January 1st, 2011, my grandma died. It's interesting how you could never think or imagine life without someone, and then you are suddenly sent on journey without them. I couldn't have ever imagined life without her, and now, I don't have her anymore. It's one of the hardest journeys I have ever had to be on. But, the Lord has been His ever faithful and loving self and kept on loving on me. He's never left me through the many years that I walk away and come back, He gives me the best hugs that comfort me from the inside out.
~Through this year God has taught me A LOT about Himself. He as taught me that He is faithful and loving. He never ever leaves my side. He has taught me to be humble, even though He's still teaching me about this. He's taught me to be kinder, and more loving towards people, and more patient. He's still teaching me about all these things though, He's teaching me and disciplining hard on all these things. He's such an AWESOME God and it's such an honor and privilege to serve Him. I couldn't imagine being loved by someone no matter what, but He's continually doing so. It's just awesome!! It's indescribable, I don't know how He does it everyday, but He somehow does. It's just awesome! I love Him sooooo much!! And He loves me sooooo much! I don't deserve it, but He does it anyways. It's just an amazing feeling! Being loved no matter what!
~God has given me some really good friends this year. One of which is my best friend Heather! She lives right down my road and we have quite interesting times together. Another is my other best friend Elizabeth who I've known most of my life and she's from Ohio. It's been a "long distance relationship" but...we've somehow made it work out. :-D Another is my good friend Brittany from Chickfila! I love her!! She's from Alabama and has an amazing accent! Haha! I love the southern accent!
~The Lord has just been loving on me hard and teaching me about Himself in ways I never would've imagined. This coming year, 2012, the supposed year the world is supposed to end, I hope and pray that I will draw closer to Him. Please pray with and for me in this manner. I need Him more than I can imagine, and He continually teaches me about Himself! Thank you all for your prayers and please keep them up! Love you all!
