I'm horrible....

I know, I really stink at this blogging thing. I guess its just that now I'm actually with the people that normally keep up with me through blogging, so I don't feel like I have to do it quite as much. Life has definitely been crazy since I've gotten home. That was quite possibly the longest four months of my life, but I can proudly say that I got all A's my second semester at UM and finally made it through the first year :o). Only two-ish more to go...wow, time sure flies.

These first two weeks of being home have been amazing. Reuniting with Tamara was supposed to go quite differently than it did, but I don't care...it's just good to be back with those who know me best. Pictures will follow once Tamara gets back from Ireland since they're on James' computer but not mine (even though they're pictures of me and her....don't ask). But, I don't want this to be a "this is what I have been doing since being home...blah blah blah" post because you all know what I've been doing...and well, if you don't...then either you need to really hang out with me ;o) or you should just call me on one of those four nights a week I'm working...so, I'll give this some more depth and substance :o)

One of the many things that God has been teaching me lately is that I need to stop "finalizing" the plans in my life because I really don't know what life holds, only He does. He constantly asks me to rely on Him to put together the pieces of my life because He's my Creator and who knows creation better than their Creator?? No one...really...at all, not even the creation itself. Too often I figure that I know whats best. I think "Oh, this friendship will never be what its supposed to be again, too much time has elapsed", or "this guy is perfect for me" or "well, I just know exactly how my schooling is going to go" etc etc. and I've been realzing that things change...constantly because God is molding the pieces of my life together in his perfect timing. And this often means allowing me to go through situations that test my faith in trusting God with every intimate detail of my life. Friendships that I thought were dull and dried up have been revived in the short time that I've been home, God has definitely changed my heart about guys in my life, and I'm pretty sure I still have no idea what's going on with education. And you know what, I'm OK with that. Three months is a long time to be away from Miami and the stresses that living away from home holds and I'm truly praying that this time will serve to bring me not only closer to the ones that I love so much, but also the One that deserves all my love and attention. (Hey, y'all can pray with me about that one!!) :o)

So, you know whats fun to say at the end of a post: "I'll see you tomorrow!!" I love the feelings of knowing that I will see most of you tomorrow :o) Love y'all
