My First Post!

Let me just start off by saying that I am very excited about starting this blog. I really hope that I keep it up...but I know how life is fast-paced and it's sometimes difficult to make yourself sit down and write when there are a million other things that need to be done that seem more important. Writing is a very important tool though, and I think that it can cause you to sit down and pour your heart out or sometimes just pause and reflect on your day or week. So we'll see if I can make time for this blog!

I had one of those weeks that you wish would just skip to Friday when it's still Tuesday. I had a huge Chemistry test that loomed over my head all week. I studied forever for it, and still bombed it. This might not seem like a big deal, but in high school I never made the grades that I have in college. I know its just a fact of life, but it definitely takes some getting used to. I felt convicted all week because I reflect back to the "sermon" that Peedie gave the other week on Deacon Sunday about how we should live for today, not dwell in the past or long for the future because the future is in God's hands. That simple, but appropriate message was really just what I needed to hear. I know that God protects me and watches over me. He has a plan for my life that is greater than what I can even imagine. I just wish that sometimes that plan was more easily apparent. I really try to remember that, but sometimes it's hard not to dream for a better tomorrow when your day is not wonderful in the least.

Well, I'm going to stop here-I could go on forever but I need to get ready...I think I'm gonna hang out with some friends today! :)
