I Blog For ME

I realize that I have not written for a long time. And that I don't write as much as I would like. I came to the realization today that PART of the reason why I am not writing as much is because of my audience. I don't want to be writing for people, I want to be writing for myself, as a record of what is going on in my life and my thoughts and feelings about it. And almost every time I sit down to write, I am writing knowing that certain people will be reading it. And some of those certain people are holding me back from totally expressing my mind through my own blog. I don't know what I want to do, but I hate the fact that I feel like I have to edit what I type because I don't want certain people knowing about certain things.

On a good note, I got to hang out with the quads this weekend. These are my 3 best friends from high school, and I love how we have kept our friendship alive the past 2 years, and that every time we get together we can just laugh in each others company and pick up where we left off last. I am truly truly thankful that God put those girls in my life. They have taught me a lot about life, and about myself as well.

However, I am also very very excited to be back in my home in Colorado Springs with my 3 roommates again. We always have so much fun and encourage each other so much, and I think we have all missed each other tremendously this summer. It will be an exciting week having everyone together back in the house again!

It is kind of like a new start for me too. This new school year, I mean. I don't plan to be involved in the Navigators at all this year, and I am anxious to see where God leads me. Whether that be high school ministry or something else. I just know know that two of my major prayers for this year are: 1. Where does God want me come end of May? Come end of graduation? 2. Where would God like me to minister (over seas?) next summer? Feel free to join me in these prayers =) I am anxious to hear stories of my friends who all traveled over seas this past summer. I do believe that God is calling me to serve in other countries, but I want to be where HE wants me, not just where I would like to go. I am open to wherever He wants to send me, I just hope He will show me.

Anyway, that's enough for today. It's time to get back to my book =)
