Be patient, trust God.

The sermon at church yesterday was about being patient and trusting the LORD in everything because He knows what's best for us...it was exactly what I needed to hear!  I'm working on waiting patiently for a future husband because I know He has the perfect one in mind for me.  I just need to pray and seek God as He continues to heal me from past hurts and relationships, and know that He is preparing me to be a great wife someday! :)  I have always tried to make things work on my own in the relationship department and never really invited Him into that part of my life.  So, what better time than now to completely surrender that to Him?!

God has been teaching me some pretty awesome things the past few weeks and I am so excited to see what He has in store for me as I enter this new season of life.  It will be much different without volleyball--especially since I have been playing it year-round for the past 12 years of my life!!  I have decided to take up a few new hobbies to occupy my free time...painting, photography, guitar, etc.  I guess we will see how that goes.  This is going to be a pretty big year for me with finishing up classes, going to Costa Rica, coming home for part of the summer, then moving everything out to Colorado before student teaching next fall.  After that, I will hopefully get a teaching job and start supporting myself!  It's crazy to think that's where I'll be one year from now!!
