It's time to say "Hello!" to the future, and "Goodbye!" to the past. Since my last post, I've married my best friend (the very best day of my life), signed up for classes to finish my nursing degree, have a full-time job, and can successfully leave my house most days (and soon my husband and I will have our own!).

The lessons I've learned along this painful, but necessary journey are simple ones. One I think is most summed up by these lyrics:
"When every little thing that I have dreamed would be just slips away like water through my hands
And when it seems the walls of my beliefs are crashing down like they’re all made of sand
I won’t, let go of You now
because I know, oh, You’re not shaken"
The second by this verse:
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. -Ecclesiastes 7:14
Just because your 5-year plan doesn't go accordingly, or your life turns out to be nothing like you imagined, it's not really a bad thing, cause there's this really awesome dude Upstairs who knows what He's doing.
I'm not saying I don't have my bad days; making the decision to get up and face the day is still something I struggle with sometimes. I have good days, and I have bad days, but my days are numbered and I will do my darnedest to enjoy my life and be the success that my God has planned for me to be.
Thanks for following this crazy journey with me. Goodbye all!
