New season; new things!

Hello...
It has been way too long since I've sat down to write...and I don't just mean "de blog". I used to write all the time, just for the heck of it. Now, it's rare for me to make time to write, and often I put it off. Even this--this is a guilt post, just out of reaction of the horror of the amount of time since my last one. But I'm hoping that because I'm forcing myself to write, even in a small way, that my writing coals will be re-sparked and ignited. Don't get me wrong, I still love to write; I'm just very out of practice. 
So...this becomes a way to encourage the writer in me again, and keep y'all updated. 
      So...as to what's new, I joined a small Christian dance company, which is inspiring me to dance more during the week and also a great place to connect with people as well. I am taking four classes at a community college, and enjoying that. I am in the process of finding a job as well. Oh, and in less than a week, I turn 21. How crazy is that?? Okay, maybe I'm the only one who thinks that's crazy. But it's exciting. I feel older already. :P

I keep dropping the ball

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I last wrote a blog post...crazy! I guess the biggest news recently is that my best friend and boyfriend who I haven't ever met before is visiting me, and he's coming...wait for it...TODAY!! :) So yeah, that's pretty much all that's on my mind. ;) Will write more soon!

Plans, hopes, dreams, and surrender

Aren't there always things we want, things we long for? I find the rhythm and balance between my desires and God's dreams for me is sometimes hard to find. As long as I keep my eyes on Him, things make more sense, but as soon as I look away, it's so much harder to find my way. I'm so grateful for His love and guidance. Jesus is my ROCK. When I stand on Him as my truth, I will not be shaken.

New season; new start

The chapter with YWAM has closed, but God doesn't leave things hanging. Instead my life is wonderfully full here in Arizona. I love being a part of the youth ministry at my church (Vineyard Community Church) and slowly integrating into the worship team for the main services. God has been blessing these days with bucketfuls of peace and joy. What a wonderful life!
