First and foremost, it made me appreciate my time in Nevada. I complained so much about Las Vegas and counted down the days until I moved, but now I can't wait to go back! It taught me not to take anything for granted. Moving here also made me appreciate my friends more. Not that I don't appreciate them, I just never realized how much of my life I invested in them until they were gone. I have the best friends anyone could ask for - they are nothing but supportive, trustworthy, and all-around great people. I am so blessed and I cannot wait until I get to see them again!
Living here strengthened the bond between me and my mom. We're at a point right now where I realize she's not just my mom, she's my best friend. She listens to me when I'm sad, laughs with me when I laugh, and her loving spirit helps me to keep going. I love her more than words can express!
Being here also encouraged me to rekindle my relationship with God. When I was at my lowest point and realized I had no friends and no one to turn to, I turned to God. It's so easy to live for God when everything is going right in your life. But when the storm comes, that's when you really need to cling to Him. Since then, he has been pouring out his blessings upon me and my family and has brought me so much joy!
It's so amazing what can happen in your life when you change your perspective. Instead of complaining about Missouri, I thank God for Missouri. I am here for a purpose.
So, I've been on the search for a new "image." It's almost the end of 2010, so in honor of the new year, I figure it would appropriate to have a new look. I'm thinking darker hair with turquoise streaks? Sounds weird, but I found a picture that I absolutely loved:
I know, its different and probably only looks cool because it's an awesome picture, but I love trying new things. I've also been debating on whether I should get my nose re-pierced, or even a tattoo? I would never get something too extravagant, but I've been considering a tattoo for a long time, now. I just want to make sure I do plenty of biblical research before I permanently mark my body.
Well, that's all for now! I'll leave with this amazing quote Joel Osteen:
"When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God's word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you've got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you've already come. You may not be everything you wanted to be but atleast you can thank God that you're not what you used to be."
Have a beautiful day! Lovelovelove.
