What a year!
Its crazy to thing something that feels like just yesterday was actually six months ago. Its crazy to think that six months ago everything was uncertain. Six months ago loading up my dads diesel dually, and figuring out how to get my car on the tow dolly correctly, Six months ago looking at my empty room while memories flooded my mind of all the good times I’d had at that house since we moved in there. From first grade to March of 2011 a lot has happened, both emotionally and physically. I remember when I was in first grade thinking about how far finishing school and getting my drivers license seemed.
I started looking for a job when I was 15 but didn’t get one until I was 16, I also got my license two months before my job in 2009. From 2009-2011 I took a building trades course at Penn High school, it was during my junior and senior year in high school. I had a life changing experience at a church camp in August of 2010 where God showed me a vision of what I was going to be doing and audibly heard what He wanted me to share.

I began to search for college’s and asked my pastor if he had any great ideas. I didn’t want to go to just any Bible college, I wanted to go to one that used the Bible as their main text book and believed in the power of prayer and the importance of grace and faith. The moment I went on the web site for Charis Bible College I knew that’s where God was leading me. I saw they were having an event called campus days and got my parents to agree to going on a vacation to check it out. When I left campus days in March of 2011 I was graduated from college and had an application submitted to attend the following September.
In June of 2011 I quit my job at Chick-fil-A and got a job that worked me 10-12 hours a day or more, pay was better but was tougher than I had expected. Went by faith and found a temporary place to stay in Colorado, and in August of 2011 quit my job at Meijer Central warehouse and spend the rest of my 3 weeks in Indiana with family and friends.
Now I’m back where I started this blog, I’m here in Colorado and have been for six months. These past six months cant even come close to comparing what all I have done in a year. The physical doesn’t compare to the spiritual and the struggles don’t compare to the blessings. In six months I have accomplished more than ever, I’m so blessed to have the friends I’ve made here, the places I’ve lived but none of that compares to what God has done in me spiritually. I’m planning on being here for 3 more years and if God tells me then I’ll be here for a total of 5 years. I’m excited to see what all God is going to do while I’m here and what He has for after college. I pray that your lives will be blessed more than mine, and that you too will find who God really is. It takes a trust in God to have faith, and a faith in what God is doing to trust Him. God Bless and thanks for reading!
