Christmas was great.
New Years Eve was great.
New Years was great.
The winter break was great.
The return back to school was lame.
I've got a lot of homework for Monday. ew.
But I still love Jesus♥:]
Wow one year has gone by so quickly...
I've learned so much in one year. A year ago, I didn't really care, I was a Christian, I prayed and read the bible but I wanted to control my life. Around March, I really turned to God, I gave my heart to Him. I felt so close and everything felt so right. In May, I fell away, I let things like boys get before God. As the summer went on things felt worse, I hated myself so much. But towards the end of summer I connected back with God and I feel so much closer to Him then before. God's been there for me and blessed me more than you will ever know. My resolution in 2006 was to grow closer to Christ and I truly believe I kept that :]
Guys were my greatest obstacle in 2006. I would always let them get before God, I think that's the greatest reason for my failure. I experienced my first heartbreak and the funny thing is we weren't even dating. I fell for him so hard, but he ended up hurting me. I find myself telling myself and others that I'm completely over it, but I know I'm not. We're still friends, we don't talk as much, but I will always be there for him. I'm happy for him because he's happy with his girlfriend. I don't know how long it will take me to get over this, but through Christ I will. Something else happened, for 2 1/2 months, I had a crush on my best guy friend, there were times he hurt me too but I need to really move on and get past it. As of now, I do like someone but I will not let him come before God and I will not dwell on anything too much. God heals pain and broken hearts, he's amazing and he's my #1. He will give me a great guy someday, in his timing and I cannot wait.
In the words of BarlowGirl, "Creator, only you can take brokeness and create it into beauty once again."
In this year, I've grown so much. I'm so blessed with everything I have. God has created in me a reformed heart. I pray in 2007, we find change, hope and love. I hope beauty will be found in brokeness. There are days when I feel the pain is to strong and I don't want to carry on. There are days when I feel so alive and like nothing in this world can break me. But I know through Christ, he will help me through everything. Through him I find beauty, strength, love and most of all life. He has blessed me with amazing friends, a wonderful family and an awesome youth group that I am grateful to be apart of. Christ has given me a heart for broken places like Haiti and Africa, he has led me to find organizations that have my heart and mind. He has given me the strength to press on through darkness and He gives me the hope and light to smile even when I feel the world's against me. I will follow Him to wherever he leads me this year, I give him full control. I feel I have found a great happiness in life, a person who will carry me when the burdens are too big. Jesus, I thank you, my love for you runs so deep, and I pray for healing and heart, I love you so much. I hope 2007 brings strength in Christ, that hearts will be brought to him, broken and lost, that hearts will be put back together through his love.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of my life in 2006. Thank you for being there for me and helping me when I was difficult. You girls and guys always amaze me. We will stay with Christ in 2007 and walk joyfully by his side! Thank you once again!

In 2007, let's worship his beauty and love together. We have hope, love and strength. Never forget that.
God Bless you.
