Thinking... a dangerous thing.

Lord I was content, so completely happy and so proud. That is until I started thinking. Am I doing what is best? Am I cutting myself short? Am I being content with just being comfortable and by doing so completely missing your best?

I know that you make the impossible possible. I know that you are the creator of all. So should I be expecting you to write me a story that seems to good to be true? Should I wait for a story with endless twists and turns that only you could bring together? Or is the story that is my life good enough? Is it your best or am I holding out on you...

End of term one...

I have officially survived my first term of college. It has been such an experience and I have learned so much.  Through the term I took 20 credits. I was also on the triathlon team and working on building relationship with my boyfriend Eric Stewart. It kept me very busy but I enjoyed every minuet of it.

I am very excited for next term because now I know how to study for all of my classes. I did pull off all A's but I had to work super hard for it. The hardest class for me was Spanish. This is because I was not only learning how to speak Spanish but also how to study Spanish.

I have grown so much in my musicianship. My intonation had improved. My technique has improved, my tone quality. The list goes on and on down to even how to bow.

At times I would be discouraged or stressed. Training always helped me in that area. It allowed me to get all of my frustration out.

The outcome of this term was totally different then what I had expected. I though that I would hate being a music major. Or that I still wouldn't have any true friends or a good church. I ended up loving being a music major. I found life bible church and became very involved with it. I developed some close girl friends that are strong Christan's. To top it off God gave me an amazing boy friend. He has such a heart after the Lord. His family is awesome, we go the the same church, we both go to UO and our callings parallel. 

It has kept me busy between train, school and my boy friend. But it all balances its self out every well. My training helps me de-stress. I love everything I do for school. And Eric is always there cheering me on and making sure I relax and take each day one thing at a time.

It is crazy looking back and knowing that A year ago I was in the ICU fighting for my life. What a good God we have. Look at me now. The Lord has restored me beyond were I was before the accident. He used it all for good. And now hear I am, just a year later. Using Gods gifts to do all that I do and absolutely thriving in all of it!
