The End Of The Beginning

Life has a way of sneaking up on you.

One minute you're a little kid running around the playground without a care in the world.
Then, you're a middle schooler who has just discovered black eye liner.
But then suddenly, you become an adult and you're wrapping up four years of high school.

And you realize that in the blink of an eye, you're not a kid anymore, and you're heading out into the real world to try and make it on your own.


You're torn.

You want to be happy because of everything you accomplished to get you across the graduation stage.
But, you're also sad, because you feel as though you didn't get a chance to do everything you wanted and you want a second chance, a do over.


But hear me when I say this:
It isn't the end, it's only the beginning.

You will have more chances to do what you wanted with who you wanted.

You'll have an entire lifetime to love on whomever you want, and there will come a time when it an be whenever you please.

You are young and beautiful.

You have an entire world at your finger tips.
Go out there and experience as much as you can.


High school isn't meant to last forever.
But, that doesn't mean the memories don't have to.


Don't feel as though you will be lost once high school ends.
It's just the beginning a full and happy life, one that is completely yours and totally untouched.
But you can never experience it if you're stuck trying to replay the past.
If God shuts a door and chapter in your life, trust in him and leave it be.

And you will stumble and lose your way from time to time.
But hold tight to God and allow him to steer you in the right path, and you'll forever be blessed.




"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for you to prosper and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

~Jeremiah 29:11~

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...

A Letter To You, My Love

Dear you, Distance is supposed to make the heart grow fonder right? Distance also tests us, and challenges us, and makes us say and do things we wish we could take back as soon as the words are said. The stubborn, selfish side of me says that my heart grows just as fond of you when I'm living 10 minutes away from you, not 2 hours. I hate being away from you. But the real side of me, the side you fell in love with, the selfless, the kind-hearted, the compassionate woman I am proud to be, knows this distance is going to be so worth it in the end. It's going to force us to put one another first in all circumstances. It's going to test our love, and make us prove how much the other person means to each other. It's going to show us whether or not we're really a priority in our busy lives. Communication and trust are key in making us work. Simple texts throughout the day, a random selfie, a late night unexpected phone call, and so much more become so precious and valu...

God's Wonders

As I look out into the ocean, and see the beauty of the sunset painted across the sky, and feel the wind blow through my hair, and feel the sand in between my toes, I'm left in awe. I'm in awe that a God so magnificent and mighty thought to create something so breathtaking, and with such great detail. He created an entire ocean, and I stand at its shores feeling so incredibly minute compared to it. He painted the evening skies with such elegant and mesmerizing colors and I'm thankful he gave me working eyes and colored vision to enjoy his work with. But what really struck me, was that the same God who created that spectacular view, who thought of and created all the hundreds of different creatures living in the ocean, and who at one point in time separated an entire ocean, thought that the world needed one of me.
