my first little post

Here is my very first post!!!

I have a confession..... I am an avid blog reader.

I just love looking at peoples pictures, hearing about what they are learning, and being inspired my their blog.

Hopefully I can do the same.

here are some current ramblings of my heart::

-19 hours of college work is sometimes a little too much

-my womb no longer cries out for babies because of the large amounts of time i spend with children...yet i eat up every moment of it!

this little one is one of the cutest!

-i am trying to stay busy to get my mind off of my singleness... and i usually forget i am single until i read about a new wedding or see a new engagement on facebook then it hits me, "oh i am not in that statistic of married by early twenties"

-i just discovered a new music video. Its called "jar of hearts" by christine perri. It has become the anthem from a previous relationship experience gone sour.

- And in the past week, i have teared up multiple times when i think about God's goodness and see it happening in other people. This is probably because last year I had this huge challenge in my faith with God. I didn't understand why the things that were happening were happening to me! And I just kept running into this " have you forgotten about me?" Yet recently, God has been doing some pretty real things in my heart. And I am experiencing the goodness of Him and the beauty of "everything is beautiful in it's time."

-Lastly, i have a roommate date/blind date on friday. I was kind of hesitant about going with some random guy with a group of other people who were going on blind dates. BUT I wanted to really hang out with my floor and get to know the girls. So my friend Mary told me she had a great guy who she would ask to go with me. And he agreed. We hung out yesterday and it was really enjoyable. he is from South Africa and genuinely cool. he loves God and missions. so it is unavoidable to have good conversations and a fun time!!!

Well back to real busy life. enjoy enjoy enjoy.

love,
