Last Year

Do you ever think back a year ago what you were doing? Last year I was on a week vacation after just quitting a job that I absolutely hated. The picture to the left is what I did with my time. :O) That's my old roommate Katy. Last year at this time, she was living with us before she left for Arkansas with the Airforce. Last year, at this time, I was taking swing dance lessons. Last year, I started a new job. Last year, I was dating someone.  Last year, I was on a soccer team. Last year, my course work wasn't as extensive, but I wasn't as close to graduating. Last year, my hair was shorter. (thank goodness it grew!) Last year, I had my own room in the basement. Last year, I had different roommates. Last year, I didn't know as many  people. Last ye

ar, I was helping in the youth group. 

A lot can happen in a year, I'm realizing. Especially around DC. This year, my hair is LONG!!! This year, I am closer to graduating, but with more course work (which is fine). This year, I am working part-time at three different jobs: executive administrative assistant, photographer's assistant, and babysitter extrodinare! This year, I have different roommates (which is also a good thing) (ps. I'm not saying that any of these things are bad, by the way) This year, I have closer relationships and friendships. This year, I am not dating anyone. This year, I have more motivation. This year, I have more goals. This year, I am sharing a room in the upstairs. This year, I am stil

l on a soccer team! :O) 

This year, I am not swing dancing. This year, I am helping in a bible study called Intern Bible Study. This year, I feel more like a woman than a girl. 

So what happened in a year? Gosh...A LOT! My roommate, Katy moved out. Lise's cat ran away. I learned that I love to cook! I quit my job to do school more full time. Two of my roommates got married. Three more roommates moved in. I went through up's and down's emotionally. I learned a  lot from the Lord. My sister moved to Lynchburg. My brother moved to Charollotsville (I can't spell it). My grandmother died in December. My dad is retiring soon. I had a few dead rats in my room. I was running close to 8 miles a night. I ran a 10 miler and beat my time!!! I went to camp. I decided not to go to Rhode Island. I am trying to decide if I want to go to South Africa. New people have come in to our church. Old friends have left. 

Gosh, so many things have happened. But so thankful for all of it. God is sovereign and he ordains the steps in my life to purpose it for his glory.
