Here it is Monday. The start to a new term in school. I can't believe yesterday I was in ocean shores, even sitting in church and worshipping my God with my church family. Sunday was Easter. A day to be so thankful for and know that sins have now been forgiven and I live a life of salvation.
This break went by way too quick! Wednesday came and went. I watched my little brother (who is six feet tall) compete in a track meet. This is his first year doing track so I was happy I could see one. Nice to see him and my dad. I also got to see many others at the meet. While I was home I mostly drove around and visited with people. Not really. Relaxing time for my spring break but it was worth seeing people I miss and only see a couple times out of the year. a couple times i went to the school and chatted with a few people picked my brother up from school and drove him home. Friday I got to venture up to Seabrook to see a dear friend who works up there. I first toured the small town of Seabrook which is adorable and chat with my friend. Times don't always work to see the people we want to, but I was more than willing to go see him.and am that way with my friends. Friends are important and if one person doesn't make an effort than when do you see or talk to people? This sort of thing has always been a learning process for me, but it now makes so much more sense. I also got to visit my friend Alexis at the boy baseball game. Missed that girl a lot! And am so excited for her new life and new baby that is on the way :) then I got to chill with my pal Alyssa and her mom cooked dinner and we watched a movie! Miss her too. Everyone lives so far away. I wish I were able to drive and see everyone more than I do. First off I don't always have time and secondly it costs me an arm and a leg :( sad but i won't dwell on it.
The end of my break was nearing and I started to get sad. I tried to make the most out of it I could. Lots of doing things time but I wouldn't trade the time I got to spend with people for anything. Sunday for Easter I went to church. So many people! I didn't even get I say hi to everyone I want! But then it was finally time for me to drive home. Holidays in general are hard for me. And having a five hour car ride by myself didn't make matters better. Holidays I'm typically "alone" I know I have people who care about me, but I don't get those Easter/valentine/4 of July/new years/memorial day baskets or candy or vacations like other people. I'm not mad about that. My life is different than everyone else's. I understand that. Being a 22 year old girl who is surviving this world with God by my side can get scary and lonesome. I'm happy with my life. Of course of have those thoughts of wanting to be done with school or wanting a family. Then I have to think again God has MY life in his hands. He has control. Whatever happens in my life is for a reason and has a purpose. Doesn't mean that life isn't hard for me. That things don't come easy. Holidays are something that I try to look past. At least the ones that don't glorify God.
With all that said I am happy to be back at school. See where life and God takes me. I get to venture into a kindergarten classroom tomorrow and be with kids that love with no strings attached.
Sorry if this was more of a journal entry. That's my life. Take it or leave it. I know some people will truly appreciate hearing what I have to say. (Like my Granada, love you!)
I hope everyone has a blessed week and remembers that God is there in all of our moment of live. Even the tough ones, and with him those moments are made easier.
