Weekend With My Family

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to go home and surprise my family, my mom was the only one who knew I was coming home. I enjoyed spending time with my family and catching up on what happened in the month I was away. It was easy to fall back into the old routine.

Part of the weekend was spent watching my little brother play football. At the start of the game his team kicked off and he recovered the ball for his team. Then for the first play he ran the ball all the way for a TOUCHDOWN. Not to brag but I have one talented brother. During his game I was able to take photos. I posted the photos to my Facebook but some are featured below.

If you have any ideas for what I should write about next you can comment below or message me.

A Place To Pray

Today I took time to go on campus and read my bible. As I found a respectful spot with a wondrous view I received a phone call from my mom. We had a good chat, it is always nice to hear about what is going on back home. I do miss home and my family.

After we ended the conversation I said a prayer, praying for clarity and that my heart to be settled. I opened my bible to Isaiah 34, I read through each word carefully making sure I understand the meaning.

The moment I finished reading I could feel a weight in my heart be lifted. I feel peace in my heart and mind knowing that even through the hardest of times you will make it through, you’ll make it through a stronger, better person. God has me right where I need to be, I will stay and fallow His path.

I then look up and see the beauty all around me. I feel that I have found my next home, a home where I can grow and learn. The view reminds me of a place at my grandparent’s old house, tall willow tree dangling its branches into the stream. Even in a faraway place I still feel parts of home have come with me.

Where My Future Leads Me

Ever since I can remember I wanted to become a teacher. Starting out in college I studied elementary education, for two years I pursued this. When the last quarter at community college was winding down I really thought about what I wanted to do for my career.  Only being twenty years old I felt too young to make a decision like that, by society standards I should have figured that out by the end if high school.

I came to the conclusion that the reason I wanted to become a teacher was because school was familiar to me. At that point sixteen out of twenty of my years was spent in school. Thinking about my future I wanted to succeed and have a stable job. But that’s just it… I wanted a job not a career. Don’t get me wrong I have huge respect for teachers but for me I didn't look at teaching as a passion.

I have decided to take a chance with life, not play the safe card. I need to push myself. I know if  I apply myself and work hard I can make something of myself. I am now studying Communications with a minor in Family Studies. At this moment I still don’t have a clear path on what I want to do with the rest of my life but that’s okay. I chose two things I am passionate for and can apply to my life. I can already see a huge difference on how I look at my future, I see many possibilities.

I don’t have to know my future and have it all planned out, God will guide me where I need to be.
