Today I decided I would start a blog, for multiple reasons. One is that I like writing and I want to utilize what a tool that can be. I also believe life has so many opportunities and people should get to know each other. By me writing downs thoughts, feelings, and what is going on in my life it will open up something different about me that some people may not know. Glory should be given to the Lord, this is another way for me to express how good God is.
To catch up with what's been going on in my life I just got back to school after a month long break. I spent my break back home in Ocean Shores. It was so encouraging to be home and be around people I love. Lots of new memories, and some sad memories as well. Over break I got to hang out with a lot of people, old friends and new friends. I brought in the new year at Peter and Lindsey's house with most of the Fry clan and Alyssa (no I don't talk to myself or about myself in third person). What a great time that was to be with friends and play tons of board games and laugh!
During break I went to a lot of basketball games, boys and girls. It was fun to watch everyone play and to see old friends there that were visiting for the holidays. Yesterday the girls had a basketball game and it was so strange not to be there, but soon enough I hope to see them play some more. I got to enjoy time with the Lord many times, in everyday conversation, at church, and bible time with Jordan. And there were so many time I had to stop what I was doing and take in the beauty that God created on this earth. Growing up at the beach I never took advantage of how beautiful a place I lived in. Sometimes the ocean waves would catch me off guard, or the peacefulness of the canal when I went out paddle boating. Everything that surrounds us is created by God and I need to take a moment everyday and be thankful for how glorious everything is.
Since I have been back to school I started up classes and I also started working again. It's nice to be on a schedule with a routine, where I also have some time to do the things I need so I don't go crazy. I'm getting settled in to having classes a few days a week and no class Tuesday's and a very late class Thursday's. I've enjoyed being back home with my own belongings and my own bed. It's been nice seeing familiar faces of friends and chatting and catching up. I love living in a place where God is so evident. Being here has been such a blessing. Even though school is a struggle for me and I get discouraged because it is taking me a few extra years to finish up I know God has placed me here for a reason. I am getting to know some amazing Godly people, and He is helping shape me into the person He wants me to be. I can't describe how blessed and thankful I feel for being here, but it is truly a one of a kind feeling. I am excited to see where life is going to be taking me in the next couple months here and school. And how the Lord will be showing me His love and love for others.
This will be a fun adventure to fill people in on what is going on in my life. I feel that I am at a place right now where the Lord is working and I want His work to be known. I may not always have time to get together with people, but if you want to call, or text me feel free to. I also want to start skyping with people more. It has been placed on my heart lately that friends and community is super important and can't be replaced!
Love to all. Hope you had fun reading, and if you did read all of this I appreciate the love!
Till again,
Lyss :)
