One year ago.... well one year ago I decided to take a jump off of the Grand Canyon of my life and I am so glad that i chose and followed that path. Because my life now would not be the same if I didn't jump.
One year ago I went on my first date with Travis :-) Leading up to that I had to make some choices, and I had to let go of some things that were holding me back. But I jumped and my parachute opened. One year ago I thought that I was just lucky enough to go an a date with a great guy from school. Well, granted I didn't believe that it was a date and it took my younger sister to convince me that it was a date.
I became open to the possibility that God was going to work through me life, and He was going to lead me down the path that I should take. Every day I feel so blessed that I am traveling this path in my life! This past year wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for the friendship and love Travis has shown me.
I thank God for every moment, and while the past is a great story. I will always look forward to tomorrow!

Trusting in Something Greater
Why do opportunities seem so great when you first hear about them, and you get really excited because you can see yourself doing that job, or be in that position in life? You get your heart set on something because it seems so right, and the pieces are falling where you think that they should go.
But then time goes by. And with that time, things happen, and that dream and opportunity seems further away, and out of reach. You thought that you had this opportunity under your belt and all that you had to do was sign the dotted line to make it all official.
But life is never that easy at times. We are given these choices, dreams, or life paths to give God the opportunity to with through and within us. We have to learn how to place our trust in God not just during these times of choices, but at all times. Sometimes maybe we are shown an opportunity, so we have the chance to dream bigger or to give us more confidence to keep going on.
Life isn't always easy, and sometimes you have to turn down great opportunities, because you just can't think about yourself, but you have to think about the bigger picture, and place your trust in God.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
-Proverbs 3 : 5 - 6 -
