There's a first time for everything

So I have decided to make a blog. Big surprise. A few people around me have blogs, so why not me?

Things have been going really good lately. God has been good to me, and providing me with things I don't deserve. I've been able to further my education and will officially be a freshman at UAB in a number of days. It's exciting, but really nerve-racking at the same time. I feel as if only yesterday I was going to kindergarten. I can remember walking in and going to the daycare room to watch cartoons before the school day started. Man, those were the days. Now, I'm off to college to pursue my dream of becoming a choir teacher. Things do change.

I have friends and family that people only dream about. People I don't even deserve. There is a specific reason why these people are in my life. I may never know until I get to Heaven.

And last, but not least, is a sweet guy by the name of Joel. If only I had words to describe how he makes me feel. I've only known him for a short period of time, and yet I feel as if we've been together for a lifetime. Not only is he a good, christian guy, but he's funny, and smart. He loves his family and would do anything for them. I hope oneday he feels that way about me. I wasn't expecting this. Wasn't expecting him. It just kind of fell into our laps. But I'm happy it did. I smile constantly now, more so than ever. Not only because of Joel, but also because God's hand has been in this from the very start. Praise God for having complete control.

Well, that's life to this moment. Summer is about to end, and I haven't done much to say I had a great summer. Sure, it was fun at times, but not very productive. I did get closer to God, and switch gears in my life. Made new friends. Met a wonderful guy. So..maybe it was a great summer?
Only time will tell.
