a whole new life starts...tomorrow.

it's been so long since i posted anything and it really feels pointless because i don't think anyone reads this thing...
i've been thinking a lot lately about the importance of making my own decisions, it's between ME and GOD, not anyone else...just as an example, the decision to go to Pensacola Christian College...my parents did not make that decision for me, nobody did...I made that decision after carefully praying about it and considering my options, weighing the pros and cons...i've always had to take crap for decisions before and it's not my first experience in taking crap for a good decision from brothers and sisters in Christ...doesn't make it any less of a bubble-bursting experience...let's look at this people, i'm an 18 year old straight A student who's never gotten into trouble, head screwed on straight, wants to go into medical missions, going to a Christian school with a reputable testimony not far from family...so people...shut your pie-holes...i'm actually grateful for the little discomfort people's ridiculous comments have caused me, i've never been one to really care what people think, but this is making me even stronger and teaching me to defend my decisions if i choose or to just say, to heck with that, it's my decision and i don't have to defend it...you'll always be taking crap from someone for your decisions...just like my dad has preached over and over again, there are benefits and consequences to every decision, good or bad...my heart is seeking God, He will keep me in perfect peace, and He'll have me where i need to be...
i had a wonderful time with friends and family at my graduation party at my grandmother's house! thanks to everyone who came for coming and thank you for your gifts! it meant a lot to me that everyone showed up and i appreciate all the words of encouragement and the prayers on my behalf!
i'm very thankful for the handful of close friends i have backing me up and really supporting me right now...Sarah, Kristina, Aubrey, Sami, Taylor, Kristen, and Ann - soooo thankful for you awesome ladies!!! Dan, baby, i would be crazy without you, thank you for everything you are to me...Andrew, Jennifergrace, Matthew, Anna, so glad to have you all to talk to!!
i have a summer job at the offices of A Beka curriculum at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, where i will be starting school in the fall, majoring in Nursing...tomorrow morning i leave for the campus of PCC...got my long denim skirt handy and i'm ready to rock 'n roll! oh wait........
