feeling blessed

journal entry from 8.7.2008

this was written in my last few days at camp ozark last summer..

only nine more days! i cant wait! i feel finally content just being by myself. i've been thinking alot lately about how it's been just about a year since i accepted Christ. I cant believe it! but i am so happy to be this place in my life. i'm excited to see what God has planned for me this fall, and how he plans to use me. I really want to write a special note to each of the people who played an important role in this process over the past year. especially to those there at the beginning. Eric, Stephanie, Gina, Lindsay, Kyle, Jennifer, Lynette, Christina, Caroline and Caroline. and to my friends from high school who supported me in my decision. i just feel so belssed to have so many amaizng people and beautiful people in my life. i thank God so much for this life and all that i ahve. its more than i could have ever asked for.


another intersting entry to go back and read and reflect on... i never wrote those notes. i believe i said a few personal thank yous. but i really wish i would have written those notes, especially to caroline. i was excited about last fall and living with caroline and i just felt like so many good things were ahead of me. and in reality so many good things were ahead of me. it was hard to see that when caroline died but her life has impacted me dramatically and i'm so thankful for that. I'm still grateful to all those who really supported me and helped me last year, through begining my walk with Christ and also just with lifes struggles. i recieved unbelieveable amounts of encouragement and it means so much. i'm still so grateful for the life i've been given. and once again i look ahead with excitment and hope for what God has for my future.
