Jealousy

Sometimes girls can be really catty and rude. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me and how I have vowed to never be like that, but it is really hard at times. I have never really understood the root as to why women argue, bicker, and get so completely jealous at times. It just baffles me. I am not saying I am perfect, I'm just saying that I am baffled. I think this is a main reason why I chose the profession I am seeking. Through all the emotional abuse that I have been through with girls, whether they are aware of it or not, I feel like God has a plan for me to turn all of that into something really beautiful. It may just be my mind, but I believe that I was supposed to somehow go through this pain to understand how to help others overcome the struggles they are having.

As I write this, I am finishing up my first year of Graduate school today, and I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed. Looking back on when I moved to Atlanta in August I am a totally different person. I hope to grow more and more. I know that God has some wonderful things in store if I can just trust His will for my life!

Single?

From July 1, 2008 until about 2 weeks ago, I believed that I would forever be single. I honestly believed that I screwed up and lost my chance for a "happily ever after" ending.  I dreaded waking up every morning not having someone to say "Good Morning" to. I thought there was something wrong with me because 1. I'm single 2. 90 percent of my friends are married 3. I'm nearing 25 rapidly. I then began to realize that being single is not a curse, but a blessing. Don't get me wrong, I do want to be married and have children but at this point in my life, it is not in God's plan to be married right now. I've decided that instead of dreading being single, I just need to embrace this journey. I should enjoy getting to know myself. I have grown, probably without ever knowing and I have learned a ton about myself. That is probably why I decided to start a new blog. All the negativity from three years ago is no longer who I am and no longer has a hold on who I am. God has a plan and the perfect man! So why dwell on it? I am going to go out there and enjoy life as a single lady until that moment comes!

On a side note: I cannot wait to start my journey with the man God has for me. I cannot wait to marry my best friend. I very much look forward to this moment, when I walk down the aisle and look into his eyes and see forever. Right now, I am embracing singleness knowing that it is a gift from God! 

New Blog, new life

I have decided to start a new blog because my life is so different than it was a year ago today. I had no idea that God would have me at the place in my life where I am at today. Graduate school has been tough but through God's grace, I've gotten through my first year! I cannot believe how fast this year has actually flown! I'm excited about the woman I am becoming! I still do not know where I will end up after this step in my journey, but I am along for the ride!
