A Year of Changes

WOW.

     This will be my first post in exactly one year. And let me say, reading my post from exactly one year has opened my eyes to the many changes in my life since then.

First off, I am not “boy crazy” anymore. I wasn’t the typical “boy crazy” though. I didn’t pursue relationships with boys, but they did take up a lot of my time. Now, God is my first priority and there is only one boy that I care about in a romantic way.

 It is crazy to see the growth in my spiritual life after one year. One of my best friends Kari Schonberg told me about a week ago that she had seen so much growth in my life over the past year. I guess I amgrowing up…

Which brings me to my next point, I AM TURNING 18!! I was only 16 when I posted last. I was in the midst of getting my permit and graduating high school. I didn’t have a  job or a car. Now I am 17 going on 18 and I have my license, am in my second semester of college, and have multiple jobs, and I semi-own a car! So much has changed in the course of one year.

One ironic thing that correlates both of these posts is that I gave blood around the same time last year as I did this year! While giving blood this year, I was reminiscing about the last time my church had given a blood drive. I had referred to the occasion that I had talked about in my post a year ago. Except I could have sworn it was only a couple of months ago. So that was weird to find out that was a YEAR ago.

Maybe I will keep this going….only post once a year on this date, February16th….I like the idea. I can look back on previous posts and see the difference in my life.

So what do I want to write that I can look at a year from now and be flabbergasted? Well…

Alaska, you better stinkin go on a foreign country mission trip. Remember to spend a daily quiet time with God! Learn more guitar! Go to the YMCA almost daily! SAVE YOUR MONEY! (Possibly for a car) Road trip with Kaitlynn! Learn more Spanish!

These are my goals for the upcoming year…Lord, help me.

    Hahaha at least you’re posting once a year! Thanks to Facebook, I’ve unofficially given up on blogging. I thinks it’s because I never do anything worth blogging about….
