Life goes on.

So I thought I would just post something about what's going on in my life, because it's been forever since I've put anything up here. That's because life has been really crazy lately and I'm just now getting into the routine of things again.

Let's start with school shall we? Well, I'm in my junior year and I cannot wait to be out of high school - honestly I'm just ready to get past these years in a small town when I have big dreams that no one else can seem to see. Unfortunately, education in necessary to get into college. Though I am always looking for opportunities that God places in my daily path, because there is a reason that I'm in this school; I just don't know it yet, or maybe I never will. So that's been something God has really been teaching me, and it's something I'm definitely still learning.

Church? Yes!! Finally, I'm in a church that cares! Since I got back from my trip we have been visiting new churches and I love the one I'm at now. It wouldn't seem too hard to be friendly and inviting, but obviously it is. That just makes me sad, the church should be the place where anyone can go and feel accepted and loved - but so many times it's not. I have no idea why that is though, the greatest commandment is to love yet we cannot do that?

Basically my life has gone from one extreme to the other and back again while settling somewhere in the middle. It seems as though I'm always learning and growing and seeing new things that aren't right in my life - I'm so thankful though because if we stop growing what's the point? Honestly God has placed some incredible people in my life that have just helped me so much and I know that they will be there for me whenever I need them. I'm beyond ready for the next season in my life and I hope it continues bringing me closer to God because that is my heart's song. After all, if I'm not living for God what's the point in living?
