I'm Back!

I can't tell you guys what a ride my first semester was. I had plenty of breakdowns, and I somehow made it. I can still remember the first day of school and how scared and nervous I was! I wasn't alone, though; I had my close friends and family helping me out…but most importantly, I had God by my side. He never left my side. I prayed every day for God to help me take it one step at a time and just to continue allowing me to see his faithfulness every day. God took me through many detours before I could stand here and blog about it. I didn't see it all when I went through the mess of not being accepted into a program. I felt like God had just brought me this far to leave me. God had other plans, and I'm glad that he never gave up on me even when I doubted. I can confidently say that the classes I had to retake to get accepted paid off this semester. If it weren't for those classes, I wouldn't have understood half of the things taught throughout the course.

I wish I could share everything in one BIG blog, but I have decided to share it weekly with you all. God has plans for each of us. I know I've mentioned it in the blogs that I've written before this one, but it's true. I saw God's hand at work throughout this process. I know that if you just ask him, he will show you. God likes to show us his greatness when we struggle or hit rock bottom. We never see the valley until we reach the top of the mountain, then we get to know the journey we went through to get to where God wanted us to be. God knows what he is doing; sometimes, all we have to do is trust him.
