::New Chapter::

Hey guys and gals!

Long time, no talk eh?!? I know this poor blog has been suffering for awhile now and the last time I posted was in either June or July and the time before that was in February. I promise that I'm not doing it on purpose, if that were the case I would of got rid of this thing a long time ago but look I'm back :)

Where do I begin? Where do I start?....

Life has been crazy busy these last past few months. Summer came and before I knew it, it was over. This summer brought many new but good surprises! After everything that had happen in my previous blog, I wasn't even sure nor did I even have a clue what God had in store for me this summer......What should of been the worst summer of my life, turned into a summer I will never forget! New friends, wild times, crazy memories. If someone were to ask me what my favorite part of my summer was, I wouldn't be able to answer them truthfully because overall my summer was the best one I have ever had!

I've met a new group of friends that I will always have for the rest of my life. They are the brothers and sisters I always wanted, but never had. I would like to introduce you to Sabrina, AJ, Cameron, Brandon, Jeremy and Bryner. This small group of people, are the groups you see only on tv. The group you want to be part of and call your friends. Honestly if it wasn't for these 6 people, I don't think I would of made it through this summer with hating every bit of it. I was out of school, out of a relationship, out of a job. Just when I thought I knew what God had planned for me, hit a brick wall very suddenly.

What was I going to do.....a month before I was finishing school, had a job in my career field, had plans to one day marry my best friend. Life was perfect. But then within one week it turned all around. Now where?!? I thought to myself. I think this was God showing me that you don't always get what you want in your timing. He had bigger plans for me for the summer. It wasn't my time to settle down yet. Why did I ever think that?

It's funny how God can show us who and what we need in our lives. You know those times where you feel like no one knows how you feel because you don't think someone is going through what your experiencing might that be hurt, sorrow, doubt, loneliness, sadness. You are soooo wrong! This is where *miiiiister* (you know who you are) comes in..... I met this friend at a college group I go to, and it wasn't till one summer day where we got talking and BAMM! This friend was experiencing the same thing I was going through. Who would of ever guessed?!? After this, we ended up spending almost every summer day together with everyone else, He's an amazing musician and he's one of my best friends and brother in Christ.

My second friend were going to call Prince Caspian (again you know who you are) is a great example of...You should never judge a book by its cover. Again, I met this friend at the same college group. Hes your typical guy but the type of guy you didn't want to hang out with in high school because he looks *sketchy*......Who would of known that, that same guy you tried to avoid in the hallways is one of the funniest, sweetest most Godly guys I've ever met. Not to mention, he could be your pastor's son. I'm not going to lie, back in school I was one of those people that would of judged based by the cover. But lets all be honest here, who hasn't?!? That football jock you knew in high school, could be that sensitive boy you see in your college class, that popular girl that everybody knew in high school could be that same girl you see helping at a nursing home in her free time and that nerdy kid in the back of your class that no one liked could one day be your boss that decides what your future career will be for the rest of your life. Its the outside appearance we all see each day, but its that one time talk you have with them....that's when you actually see who they really are. And I think God placed Prince Caspian in my life to make me realize I need to stop doing what used to be so normal back then and accept everyone for who they are. And now this guy happens to be one of my best friends and brother in Christ!

The Third friend we are going to name Shades....why? Because of his trademark sunglasses (you know who you are) Once again one of the best guys you will ever meet! Has such a heart for the Lord, and tries to live everyday like its his last. Being the man of God, he is called to be. So many good laughs this summer, from random funny faces to singing about powdered cows, every memory that I had and will have with you will never be forgotten. I'm pretty sure God has placed him in my life to realize you shouldn't take life for granted when any day could be your last. Live and praise the Holy Father and His name and he will make your life worth wild. Its not about what you have, what clothes you wear or how much money is in your bank account, but its about the time you spend with the people you love, the people that care for you and make you laugh.

My forth friend were going to name Francis (you know who you are). You my friend are crazy, goofy, weird, boyish, funny, and living your life for God. To some people you might be annoying, to others you are one of a kind. In the beginning, you were my ex boyfriend's, best friend's little brother and now your the guy I spent most nights with laughing at stupid jokes till 1 am in Miiiister's basement. We had many times where we might of got annoyed with each other but there is no one else like you that I would of gone to wonderland with and spent the whole day together with others. And though your off at school now and we only have the memories of the past with us, there are more memories to come in the following years ahead. I'm pretty sure God has placed you in my life to show me its alright to act like a kid every once in awhile. Don't take life so seriously. Though I might be turning 20 this year, I don't need to have my life planned out 30 years in advance and make sure everything goes according to plan. At the beginning your were my ex boyfriends, best friends little brother and now your one of my best friends.

To finish this up so it's not crazy crazy long, Sab..girl you are the best friend ANYONE could EVER ask for! This girl is just....honestly there isn't just one word to sum her up...I love her to death and I'm so very blessed that God has put her in my life! And Bryner is funny, kind, neat freak and pretty sure has a Master's in grammar.

So where does this all leave me.....?

At the beginning of the summer I was out of school, unemployed and heart broken.....
One heart break turned into 5 new friendships.
Losing a job in my career turned into a job in the career I had in the beginning (fashion)
And being out of school turned into a college diploma and a new chapter in this thing I like to call life :)
