It's been a long time coming...

There are many times throughout my days when certain things happen, and I always get this strange urge to write about it. I've never really been one to keep a diary or journal, but I feel like writing is such an awesome way to process through the different thoughts, feelings and craziness of life. So, here it goes..

In the last couple of months, things have changed a lot for me. I've met a lot of new people, realized who my true friends are, and as lame as it sounds, I've kind of figured myself out. I know what I want, and I'm at a point where I refuse to settle for less. One thing I've really learned about myself is my huge lack of patience. There are random times where I just want to write the word patience on my hand to remind myself to slow down. I tend to get so far ahead of myself, jump into situations, want so badly just to know whats going to happen tomorrow and the next day and the next ten years. I've realized that for so long, I was in such a hurry for my life to just reach a steady point. Now, I've finally realized that God has an awesome plan for my life, and I need to be patient in waiting for it to come.

On top of that, for the third time in my life I had the amazing opportunity to be a counselor at Royal Family Kids Camp. This year at camp, as many know, was a tough one for me. Even now, more than a week after camp ended, the emotions of the week are still with me. Camp this year completely changed my life. It turned everything upside down. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God put me here to help kids that have never in their lives been treated the right way. I'm here to make a positive difference in the lives of abused and neglected kids, and my passion for this has never been more on fire. I can't wait to delve into the challenge, and I feel blessed for the opportunity.

There are still countless things in my life at the moment that I'm not exactly sure what God wants me to do with, but let me tell you, I cannot wait to find out. I don't think I've ever had such a passion for life as I do now, and I'm excited for everything that I know is going to come.
