::Magnificence in Middle School::


Today is my first day nannying two of the sweetest girls ever.
I got settled in my new room.
Got a tour of the house.
Met some of their friends.
Went to Panda Express for dinner.
Came back and got ready for bed.
It was that easy.

The ease is not what matters though. It's that God has placed me in this family to love on them. I'm so excited to see what makes both of these girls tick. To encourage. To wipe tears. To help.

Thank you God for blessing me by allowing me to be part of their lives.

::Too Many Great Things At Once::


I am blessed. And Glory goes all to God on this one, because if I do anything at all, it usually messes everything up.
As for just some of the blessings:
  • I get to spend at least one more year at the university that I attended, but now I work there!
  • I will also be starting a nannying position and getting to love and invest in some incredible middle school girls.
  • Everyone should check out my professional blogging debut.. @ My First Apartment
  • Life should be super interesting as now I have two awesome room mates, A and T.
  • The school year is about to start! That means I get the opportunity to love a whole bunch of college students.
  • I just became a member of The Journey . And I am stoked to start serving there!
Growing up is a scary, exhilarating, and liberating time. God is revealing things to me everday, from how selfish and sheltered I am to how to vulnerable I must become to be used by Him.

Peace, Love, and Coconuts!

::It's Official::

I am officially one of the worst bloggers ever. I have been neglecting this outlet in the worst of ways. But no longer. My life has started with a fresh slate.
In the last year...
  • I graduated.
  • Was in a relationship
  • Was a Student Teacher
  • Got a 'big girl' job
  • and the newest thing....got my first apartment!
I can't even begin to explain how BLESSED I am. There have been great times and hard times, but seeing God's hand on it all is incredible.

I am terrified and renewed in this process, please keep on checking this blog for installments of the crazy life and times of a new college-grad, apartment-living, vulnerable-being young lady.
