Oh my, it has been WAY to long since I have sat at my computer preparing myself to blog. I don't even know where to begin. I have wanted to write so badly the past month and a half but I just didn't feel like I could yet. On December 5th my whole world came crashing down in front of me, our home was foreclosed on and then the next day my dad left. I felt the need to keep all of this to myself (with a few select people knowing). I can't even begin to tell you what God has been teaching me. I've learned that though I don't understand why things are happening, they still happen and just because I don't understand it doesn't make the situation stop. I've had to realize that I will be able to use this time in my life to help another girl someday. I can say that over the past month and a half I have truly discovered who my true friends are and now I have a total different view on love. I knew it before but I have really noticed how selfless love really is. I've had this selfish view on love that its about that person making YOU happy. I know now that it's about YOU doing everything in your power to make the other person happy. Over this hard time my mom and I have become best friends. She means the world to me and I honestly don't know how I would have made it through this without her.
Another thing that has happened is that my mom got into contact with one of her old girl friends from the church we used to attend/ her "sister" at work. Growing up I was close to this woman's daughters, they were way older than me though but I still adored them and wanted to spend all my time with them. I ended up having a dream about the oldest daughter (You know how I feel about dreams) so I wrote on her wall on facebook and asked if we could get together for coffee or something. Turns out her and her family have been praying about this situation and God had put me and her heart as well. The first time we hung out was last sunday, we went shopping with her, her mom, and her sister I had SO much fun. Today I went to church with my grandpa (he attends the church I grew up in) and I got to sit with and go to lunch with my sweet friends from that church. This evening I got to go to starbucks with my friend and we realized how much we truly have in common even though there is an age difference. I'm really thankful that God brings old friendships back and that I can share this season of my life with Sacha and her family.
I really don't know what else to say. I just felt like I should give an update since I haven't in a long long long long time.
Peace. Love. Blessings.
