The last time I posted was Jan. 5th hard to believe almost a whole year has passed. 2010 has been by far one of the best years I can remember in my life. Its hard to think a year ago my parents were thinking about getting divorced and I was feeling like life could not get any worse. God is amazing. He is the only reason that 1 year later my parents are working through the issues they have, being honest and real with everyone and growing into better people. I witnessed God at work in 2010, in more then just my parents.
God blessed me a job working with youth at the YMCA. In times where people are getting layed off and good jobs...dream jobs are hard to come by, I am blessed to be working my dream job. Throughout the year I have been given more responsibility at work and I have grown so much! God has taught me a lot about myself and working with youth. It seems every June I wonder what next school year will hold for me and work..every year it changes, every year I wait and wonder, and every year Gd pulls through in ways I never could have dreamed.
I TRAVLED! More then I ever thought I would or could! California, Disneyland & San Diego! EUROPE! I saw the most incredible things! England, Ireland, France, Italy...11 cities and a million amazing sites! I proved to myself I can save the money and live out the dreams I have for myself. I just have to stop makng excuses, buckle down and save. I showed myself that if I want it, and if I work hard dreams can come true.
I moved out! All on my own. Closer to work, friends, and church. I love the independance and I also love that I trust in God for his timing and once again proved that if I really want something I can make it happen! God opens doors, and we have to brave enough to walk though them!
I am going to be an aunt in 2010! My brother and his wife are do any day now! I can not stay out of the baby aisle and I look forward to seeing how this baby changes all of our lives! My parents are my best friends, I am closer to them then ever before! My boyfriend loves me for me and together we make it through everything by choosing God and love. God blesed me with true friends, people who are real and honest with me and love me for who I am.
2010 was not perfect, there have been hard times. The first few months of the year I delt with my parents working through things...which did not always provide a loving house. My mom left for a month which was hard on everyone. During this time my mentor and youth pastor left our church and the drama that came with it was very hard to work through. I have drifted apart from friends that I never thought I would and that has been hard off and on. Recently I have lost a lot of passion for my job and have had to fight harder to trust where God has me. Also my boyfriend has been layed off and we have no idea where his next source of income will come from.
Up and downs....thats what life is all about. I think the trick being able to move past the bad and always look for the good in each situation. 2010 brought me closer to God because of the bad and the good. I leanred that my relationship with him is about freedom, not rules and guilt. I have learned that he has my back andmy best interest in mind, he is ALWAYS there, and I think this year I choose to meet Him here instead of wondering where He was all the time. Meeting God was the best part of 2010.
I can not wait to see what God has for 2011. I know through the good and the bad God has blessed me beyond what I could ever dream.
