My First Post!

Have you ever been taken aback by the feeling of overwhelming gratitude for who you are, where you are, and everything around you? That is kind of how I have been feeling for quite some time now. Although my life is stressful and crazy and hectic and grueling and often times monotonous, I can not express how in love I am with my life! God is so dense and present in our lives but all too often we are stuck in our earthly ways to notice His goodness. God's plan for all of our lives is extravagant and perfect-- ten years ago He knew I would be here at OSU loving life, and ten years from right now-- he knows where I'll be as well. It is important for us to remember that where we are at this exact moment is where God has planned for us to be. It is fun to dream about the future and reminisce on the past-- but more importantly be joyful for where we are now! So, I guess I can take some time to reflect where I am now in my life.

I wake up every morning and am blessed to go to the BEST school in the world, Oklahoma State. My life consists of school and only school, literally. Most people think that college is all about partying and hanging out with your friends but for me it is quite the opposite-- come Friday night all I wanna do is relax! I have the coolest, funniest, sweetest, most honorable boyfriend named Matthew who is my rock and my sanity, and not to mention my best friend in the world. I have a great group of friends, my COV group, who keep me accountable and love on me alot. Although my family is back home, I try to call them everyday and am able to catch up. I am a SOON TO BE AUNT-- Chase Randall will be born in MARCH :) I still get to see my precious other family, Madision, Brock, and Beckham as much as possible and if I'm lucky, I'll get a picture sent every now and then ;) Crystal Lite, My iPhone, and something to study-- and I'll be okay. Isn't God wonderful?

Give Glory to God in everything you do, have a pure heart, and give more than you take.
