Here I sit at 3:45 am on February 9, 2012. It's been awhile since I've blogged and figured I'd update everyone on what's new in my life. Where to begin ? Well, without going into detail the last 3 1/2 months have been full of change in my life. Have you ever had so much life changing things happen to you at one time that you become so overwhelmed ? I must admit, I've found myself overwhelmed multiple times, sometimes daily. What can I say, I'm only human :) Ha-Ha ! (Lol)
Now onto the recent exciting news.
You may or may have not heard that I've recently been accepted to Lee University. Now, to understand why Lee is such a huge dream of mine, you'd have to understand that Lee is a place I know God has planned for my life. Also to understand my excitement, you may or may not know how many trials I've had to face to reach for my dream. There has been so many obstacles that could have broken my dreams of going to Lee but all I can say is, it has been Gods will and his hand has been in the situation. I am so blessed and so thankful for that. When I got the news Monday, February 6th, I was happy, exciting, overjoyed, blessed, nervous, and anxious. I think those are pretty normal emotions right ? Ha-ha ! Moments later my aunt had to chime in that it's only 6 months away until I will be leaving ! That totally threw me into being scared. Get this, any bird when it's ready to leave the nest is always afraid to spread it's wings and fly. They fear that they'll fall instead of fly. Did I really just compare myself to a bird ? Maybe I've been tweeting (twitter) to much. Ha-Ha ! (You've got to laugh, it's so good). Anyway, it's only been 3 days since I found out and I already feel sooooo anxious whether it be exciting or stressful, anxiousness is never good. Ha-Ha ! To watch a purpose then become a dream, and a dream to become a reality is so beautiful. No matter how many times people tell you that you can't do something and you beat the odds, that's something you can be so proud of ! I can't tell you how many times I was told I could never make it, I'd never make it to Lee, or my dreams were unrealistic. I remember one day when I was told to give up my dreams because they were so unrealistic, and truthfully many times early on I tried so so so hard to forget about Lee. Thats the truth ! The great thing is, every time I did try to forget about Lee, God always reminded me that his purpose for my life can't be ran from. You can run, but until you surrender you'll just keep running. Thankfully, it was only a short while that I decided my purpose and my dreams were bigger than any word of "Impossible". Impossible is not a word, it's just a reason for someone not to try. Did I get sidetracked ? Oh well, I spoke from the heart. Ha-Ha !
So ! That's just recently. Many ups and downs, but in the end I know I'm blessed and highly favored. (huh, hello, did you just read the above) :). Winterfest is coming up soon. I'll be attending with some pretty amazing ladies Ashley and Angie. It's going to be fun, but I also am expecting God to do great things. I'll probably blog off and on throughout all the exciting new things. :)
Xoxo,

P.S. - Every college kid stresses about how they'll pay for college and I need a MIRACLE. I believe God has his hand in the financial aspect of it, so if I could ask you as my friends, family, and Christian brothers/sisters that you will pray daily and agree with me that God will provide in any way, shape, or form. I believe in miracles and I know God still delivers miracles. One of my favorite verses is Matthew 21:22. I appreciate the prayers in advance. If dreams that seem so impossible can come true, I believe miracles than seem impossible will come true. :)
