2015
Really, I do not think about too much negativity from 2015 and if I had anything bad that entire year it was all erased when I went out to a community in need this summer for my Field Education Experience.
Extreme Faith really taught me a lot about myself and what serving/inspiring a community really looks like. A piece of my thoughts and prayers will always belong to that neighborhood of Carondolet. Please pray for them also. It is not every day that you see a community struggling that much. It definitely humbled me. Every time I hear Touch the Sky by Hillsong I think about Carondolet and pray for them everyday.
Before going into this last summer I use to see my weaknesses as inabilities that made me look useless but have learned to work on my weaknesses and turn them into Strengths instead of running from or trying to hide from weaknesses .
Extreme Faith experience plus my bestfriend Ashley got me a better job as a Level One Medication Aide. I work with Developmentally Disabled Adults and love my job. It is really another ministry. I am thankful that this job is giving me experience for my career field as a Community Support Specialist or another Behavorial Science field.
I am so incredibly thankful I was single. It is weird... I never thought I would say that. However, singleness taught me more about myself and helped me work through some issues I was having. Obviously , I had times where i wish I had a boyfriend but I got to depend on God even more through that year of singleness. Also, I know now I am looking for a Christian man who will be my bestfriend.
Central was great in 2015 . I got to keep my grades up and have only had mostly A's and B's since I have been back. No matter how upset I have been with the school in the past I feel mostly grateful for: Spiritual Growth,Friends, and Education. I was so scared I wouldnt pass OT Prophets and I did with a B :-) I loved the way that professor taught his class with ethusiasm and as a ministry.
2015 I got to watch my first Niece get married. It was such a joy to be her a maid of honor. It was awesome to see her marry a Marine that treats her very well.
Also, in 2015 it was nice to see my family and go to Florida for 3 weeks. I had a great vacation overall and it went by too fast but I am thankful for the time I got with them and I Love my family a lot.
2016
This is going to be a Great year! I y am so optimistic about this year! I finally graduate with my Bachelors! And in Christian Counseling. I had no idea God would call me back to Central in 2014 but he did and I am so thankful that I have a God who is not done writing my story even though at times before Central I gave up on myself. God makes me smile often. It is my joy to serve him and out of anything I do in life serving God and living for him will be the best things I ever do.
So as I metioned I graduate this year. My official graduation date is May 13,2015 I am excited and nervous but I have faith to know everything will be fine. I will miss Central but I am ready for another chance at living on my own with or without roommates and keeping my foundation solid on God this time. I am looking for any field on the Behavioral Science field but the number one career I am going for is a Community Support Specialist .
Please pray for me as my life changes this year that my faith will stay strong and that I find a good career or be content and work at my current job until I do. Thank you! If you ever need or want prayer for anything let me know.:-)
