Well I apologize for it being so long since I have blogged. Between basketball and now catching up with all my school work and trying to finish the semester I have had very little time to even think about blogging. So much has happened in the last few months and I am going to try and cover them all with this blog.
First thing and best thing of all my dad is cancer free and is doing well. His surgery went good and he recovered very quickly(Praise the Lord) He gave us a little scare about a month ago and had what they call a TIA which is like a small stroke but they do not have any permanent damage and they started him on some blood thinners to help prevent that from happening again. I am so thankful and grateful to God that things went so well and that God healed him. My dad is so special to me and I really could not have been blessed with a greater dad. Saying that my Mom is one awesome women as well because if you know my dad at all you know how stubborn he can be. She has been a rock for not only my dad through all of this but also for her kids. Thank you God for such amazing, strong, Christian parents.
Next, Basketball is over :( ahhhh I hate it and it is something that honestly I am struggling with right now. I knew it was going to be hard when it ended but man I really miss it and don't want it to be over with at all. We didn't finish the way I wanted too and that was very upsetting because I just knew we were going to win a national championship. I know there is life after basketball and I trust that God has a plan for me but basketball became a part of who I was and it may sound really dumb and ridiculous to some but it is like losing a part of what made me who I am and some of what made me special. Writing it out I feel like it is even a little selfish and I am praying and really working on figuring out what they next steps God wants me to take in my life but it is hard. I can see lately that I am letting other things in my life affect what God is trying to show me. My being upset about basketball being over needs to be directed in a positive way to seek out and discover what God wants to do with my life next. I want to be in Gods will for my life in every step I take everyday of my life no matter what.
The next think to talk about that has happened in the last few months is an exciting thing to me...I have my best friend in the whole world back in my life. Not only is he my best friend in the whole world but he is my boyfriend. I am so crazy about this guy, he is such an amazing guy and I get to call him mine :) I am so thankful that in these last few months that have not been so easy God blessed me with such a great guy to be here for me. Ethan Branscum is what I call a good catch. :)
That pretty much sums up what has happened in the last few months in my life. God is continually working in my life and I am continually failing but I make the right turns occasionally too. I think that is just how life goes, it is how your learn from the times you fail and how quick you get up from those times that determines how many right turn you do make. If you let the times you fail consume your life then you will miss and not see the right turns God puts right in front of your face. One of my favorite things to say to myself, and that i say all the time is NO MATTER WHAT I GO THROUGH, IF I AM SEEKING GODS WILL THEN GOD WILL SEE ME THROUGH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.
Hopefully I can keep my blog up a little better now that school is almost over with!
Be Blessed!
