Reflecting on 2011; Resoluting for 2012

I have to say, 2011 was an awesome year. The best thing that happened was that I finally got out of Subway and got hired at HealthPro. I'm finally putting my coding certificate to use :) Ahh, that feels so good. I'm still driving my Pontiac G6 so the next big step in my life will be getting a house. I'm happy here at my parents in the mean time. Save that money! :)

Other changes occurred as well, with my relationship status for example. As with any break-up, this was anything but easy. Although it was hard and hurt, I learned alot about myself and what I wan't and don't want in a future husband. Maybe I will write a different blog about what I want in a man? Anyway, the change I'm most happy about it how I have strengthened my faith. Being able to take time for myself has helped me discover what is really important. My unconditional love for Jesus Christ. I want to have a committed relationship with Him.

In the summer of 2011 Me, Haley and Danielle went to a pool party/Bible study knowing NO ONE. We literally walked in and it felt like a slow motion entrance with everyone turning their head to look. I finally found a girl I recognized and from then on we began to get to know more people. It only got better from there. I have formed such a great friendship with these people and it's just the beginning of my long and awesome journey with God.

The group I mentioned earlier is a Bible study group called "Friday Nights". we get together every other Friday and do a study. Some Fridays, or special-occasion-Saturdays, we do different activities. We went to the Columbus Zoo for the Christmas light show, had pool parties, and on New Years Eve we had a party at the Axis building at LimaCC. A couple times we have met at the church and prayed before going out and just looking for ways to spread Gods love.

Another study I go to is our womens Shema Bible Study!! We meet every Tuesday and have been reading the Book of Luke. We pause our study with Luke to have different fellowship every now and then. We had a Christmas party and gift exchange. We go to the movies together, have craft days, and I'm so jealous I had to work, but they went to a Joyce Meyer conference in Columbus!!  I'm so thankful I know these awesome people and I know it's just my next step in my walk with God. I love that I have my best friend Haley to go through it with also. I am so lucky to have friends and family to support me.

I am so happy with my life and can't wait to see what 2012 brings. One main thing is that I want to live everyday for God and do things to glorify His name!

I would also like to accomplish a few more things on my Bucket list and one I am planning already is going to NY to ring in 2013. : D Whooo!!
