that's a wrap

Yesterday I realized how blessed I am. and how much I have taken for granted.

Yesterday a group of friends and I hiked up to the top of Sharp Top, a mountain close to Liberty. Wow, it was a nice hike up there, not too tiring but not too easy. When we got to the top it was beautiful. Just standing on top of a rock, at the highest I could go over looking what the Lord created. With the wind blowing my hair every which way- the massive breeze felt so nice and refreshing. As I gazed out into the world set before me, tears were brought to my eyes. Just about how much God cares about all His creation and how much He has placed before me. My friends behind me jumping from rock to rock and just enjoying the view as I sat just looking out and having a "little moment" It was somewhat overwhelming and if I was by myself I probably would have cried.

God has blessed me with so much I don't think I even really know. Looking over mountain in so much awe just leaves me speechless, even now.


I know I am rambling- but it's just how I feel.


God has blessed me with

His creation. His love. unconditional love. forgiveness. amazing uplifting friends. a forgiving loving family. an education at the most amazing school. opportunities most people would dream of. my life.

and now as I end this school year- I realize I took a lot of that for granted and I never want to do that again. I'm sure I will. but i don't.

regretting gets you nowhere- just change it and move on and make it better the next go around- if you are blessed with a next go around. that is why its so important to live each day without any regrets.

live each day knowing that God has blessed you with it. He allowed you to wake up this morning and breathe in this new morning.

So as this school year rounds up . . . I thank my heavenly daddy for getting me though this year and I apologize for taking too many things for granted- mainly my own life.
I thank Him for all the friends that helped me get through this year. Each one has made a significant impact on my life and I will always remember the times we spent together. AND I cannot wait to spend more time with them in 3 months. haha

I ask sincerely for the Lord to really work in and on my heart this summer and come back to Liberty in august a whole new being sold out for Him. and in that never ever wavering again- never ever taking things for granted but living only for Him, seeking only for Him, and loving only Him. Because once I am doing everything just for Him---everything else will fall into place- if that be in a desert, a storm, a lake, a valley, a mountain top or a calm breeze. . . when He's EVERYTHING to me where ever I am and I will not waver. you cannot waver when you are held tightly in the arms of the One who truly loves you.

I want to make my last year at Liberty better than the last three that I have wasted in a way that no one understands but me.

So here's to lessons learned. . . and moving on. . . and making the best of every moment.
