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!

Sometimes we just have to be prepared
The saying is: "When life gives you lemons make lemonade." While that saying makes sense it really isn't helpful. It is telling the person that if life deals you a bad hand or throws troubles your way, learn how to dodge the punches, and make the best out of the situation. The thing is that it is easier to just talk about lemons then really face what you are really supposed to be dealing with.
Everyone has troubles in their life, and at those moments it seems as if nothing can go right and you are stuck to deal with the problem. No matter how big or small the trouble might seem to outside people. That problem is a big deal to the person that it is happening to. So there is no reason to judge other people's problems as compared to your own. That just isn't how life works.
I think the best thing that people can do to help others and the people that they care about is to just be there as an ear for the majority of the time, and only use your mouth when necessary. I've heard the saying that we are given two ears and one mouth, and we should use them in the same proportion, meaning use the ears more because we have two of them. Everyone just needs people to listen, even people that are used to just listening. We all need someone to be there for us.
Who is that person in your life that could use your ears more? Who do you think needs someone to listen to them?
