Well, it is the start of a new year, and oh how excited I am for this new year! 2010 has probably been one of the toughest years of my life. I'm not even sure of how to start this recollection of the year.. but where better then the beginning?
I spent new years eve with friends from my old college group at my old church. It was such a great time and a great start to the year. From there I started my 2nd semester of college. The start of the year was really great!
I felt like it was going to be a year of fun, friends and laughter! I gained some really great friendships, and spent a lot of time with Mark and Jamie. God could not have blessed me with 2 greater people in my life for the things that were in store!
I became a Disneyland pass holder, and It def changed my life! I spent almost one day of every week at Disneyland this year! It was that one place where you couldn't possibly be upset! Was given flowers on Valentines day... celebrated my birthday... And had fun!
But by May, my fun year had taken a turn.
My granddaddy had gotten very sick, more sick then he's ever been. He later passed away.
Right around the same time my granddad passed away, the news that my church campus was closing and that we were all splitting up was delivered.
In august I got a puppy! He has been such a fun dog to have!
I also lost my church, and had to find a new one...
I went to my now current church for the first time by myself, and was welcomed with open arms. But the biggest struggle for me with this new transition, was opening up and starting to develop new friendships.
With the development of these new friendships, I started loosing the closeness i had with my old friends.
As the year went on i tried my best to stay in contact and to stay close, but with distance it is hard.
2010 was a big struggle for me. And I still hurt over some of the things that took place.
I miss the closeness I had with the friends from my old church. I miss having those people I knew were always there.
I hate how hard it is for me to find where I belong with these new friends.
But I love that God has never left my side through every little and big moment of this past year.
in a way, I am glad 2010 is over. I am excited for 2011. I look forward to seeing all that is instore for me with this year. And just seeing how God is going to use me.
