The end of 2009!

Realizing that 2009 is about to end, I wanted to reflect on my life this year.

God has really showed himself to me this year. I am not sure where I would be if He didn't have me move to Boise! It is actually kind of scary to think where I might be if I didn't move.

Let's reflect 2009. Early this year, I was in a relationship that you really couldn't call a relationship. I was so delusional to think that this guy loved me, but in reality I was trying to fill a void with this guy instead of asking God to. Then I came to Boise to send my cousin off to be with God. When I got to Boise it really made me think about where I was taking my life. It was a scary thought. I started to ask God questions and asking for His help. I knew that if I kept going the way I was going in Dallas I would probably be a single mom or dead. I knew things had to change but I didn't know how. God really helped me out. My roommate at the time had broken our lease and called me to say that I had 6 weeks to get out of my house. I didn't know where to go, then my cousin said, "Why don't you come for the summer and visit me?" I took that to heart and started to pray about it. I really felt like God said this was His way of getting me out of my situation. So without telling my cousin that, I moved here for good! It is the best decision I have made in a long time. Since I moved to Boise I have tried new foods and met really good people. I got a really close relationship with my cousin and I was in love with God. My family here was telling me about this 11 day class that I needed to take called FOCUS. I decided to go to it. It was another good decision I made. Focus truly helped me get over a lot of things as well as prepare myself for future situations. I did a lot of healing that I needed as well. While I was at Focus I realized that I had to cut my ties with this guy with whom I thought we were still an item. It was a really hard decision for me to make, but I knew that if I didn't do this I was always going to be depressed. So I ended it with him and asked that he not contact me. Since then God has been really healing me in the process. I feel like a new and improved woman of God. God has also brought me to this wonderful church called The Pursuit. I am really finding God with this church. I am a youth leader and loving it. During this time I also have lost a lot of weight and still losing. I am now officially a sophomore in college and will be graduating in May 2013 as a Second Lieutenant nurse in the Army.

This year has been a great deal of change for me for the good. I am excited to see what God has planned for me in 2010! I know whatever may come my way God will have His hands around me.

For the first month of 2010, I will be doing this plan called Fit for My King: His Princess 30-Day Diet Plan and Devotional. I will be sharing my thoughts and results as my blog. I am excited to see how healthy I will be in 30 days!

Have a great New Year's Eve!
