You Stole my Heart That Day...

So it's gotten to the point that I had to enter my blogspot password three times before I could get it right. It's been a while, it has. But since I feel like I begin almost every blog post with that dreary message, I'd like to address it as almost a ritual and not a surprise. I'm sorry. To anyone who has cared or still does care about the posts I've put up here, I sincerely apologize. I will say; however, that I'm willing to make some sort of return to the blog world. I miss you guys a lot, and I miss sharing my experiences with you all and hearing about your lives as well.

In the meantime, I'd like to share a bit about what's new. THE SCHOOL YEAR IS OVER. Almost. It's strange to think that I'm a senior now. Whoa. But. I have learned a ton this year about myself. I could make a list. In fact, I will. Here it goes.

I learned:

- I am not afraid of roller coasters. I'm not. 

- I love children. I didn't know if I liked dealing with little kids or not until I sang and helped out at a church camp, and I realized that I adore them...ADORE them.

- I am not a quitter. I have been in several situations this year where the temptation to quit was through the roof, and I kept at it. That's one of the things I can say I'm proud of.

- I still really do love all kinds of people. I relate to them in different ways, and I thought I lost that. I haven't.

- People see potential in me that I didn't even realize they did. 

- I have favor with God. I didn't even know I had this favor until this year. But that is for a different blog post. 

- God doesn't want to change my personality, He created it! (Again, another post :)) 

- I can learn to get past caring what people think, and I am starting to.

- You MUST tend to a relationship for it to work. 

-  I have the most amazing friends. 

- How to dance the merengue

- I love blowing bubbles.

-Discipline is key 

Finally, I learned that life is a story that'll almost write itself... but mostly because it's already been written.

I've worried a lot this year, only to find that I didn't ever have to, and the meaning of the words of 2 Timothy 1:12 coming to life, "...he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day."
