I graduated!!!! Its been 2 days since I made that walk down that grassy front lawn to receive my diploma... I still wake up thinking what school work do I have to do today. But I am done! I met great friends at CBU. I have my bestie Stephanie who never ceases to amaze me with her cut throat remarks but in the end we get and love each other. I wouldn't want to CUPID SHUFFLE with any one else!!! Jonathan is the one I can always go to with serious conversations and he doesn't mind listening to me go on and on and on. God has definitely had a hand in picking my friends. CT is just one of those guys you just can't live without! I haven't met anyone that can match my clumsiness till CT! Since grade school we have known each other but it was awesome getting to know him even better. Overall my friends here at CBU have inspired me. They have gotten me through the tough times and laughed at me during the great times. I will never forget them and I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!

Since graduating I have been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning... I am embarking on a new chapter in life so I decided that my room needs to represent the new me. I put all my childhood memories in a box and put them out in the barn... Everything from grade school through college are packed (unless of course it was homework, papers, tests, or notebooks that went to the trash man) old pictures, letters, love notes from previous relationships are stored away. Amazing how much stuff I could fit in my room.
Its a bittersweet feeling looking back on all the years but I am so excited to see what the future holds. I have a new outlook on life. I have fine tuned what is important in life and I finally realized that the only way to be truly happy is putting God first. I have never been more wide eyed about life and all it has to offer. I am truly blessed. I have friendships that will last a lifetime, a family that loves me through it all and a GOD who's unconditional love still amazes me.
In 21 days I leave for my ISP trip... I am so happy and nervous about it!!!! I know that God is working in my life and changing me and this trip will just be another tool to grow close to Him!!!
So I will leave you with this... ISAIAH 40:31
"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
