Twenty-11
What a year! At the end of 2009, my world, I really felt was crumbling around me. It was like anything that could go wrong was going wrong. As 2010 started I remember thinking, “Well, it can’t get much worse.” I started this year guarded and hopeful. I found myself for the first time in my life completely depending on God. I cast all my cares and concerns on him and I knew that he would provide.
Without having a full-time job and having to deal with everything that came with it, I found myself subbing, which I loved. It was like all the best parts of teaching without all the undue stress. In the summer I was given the opportunity to work for Dr. Jean Elder (Thank you Andrea and Pastor Yates) and that lead to my employment at Kid’s Central. I LOVE what I am doing now! I miss spending time with kids and the holidays off, but I don’t miss the “teaching” stuff.
I found myself in 2010 really focusing on what is important in my life and I know that my family and my marriage are stronger. I have grown leaps and bounds. Along that journey I have met and befriended some amazing people! I realized that each person has a valid and meaningful story. Stories that need to be told. And my relationship with Christ is on a whole new level. This year I have become more of the woman that I want to be and I know that I can only get better with time.
And because I am Virginia I have to include this year's wonderful football season! Going to Tally to see the Seminoles whoop-up on the gators, goes up there pretty high on my all time favorite moments of my life. And just tonight UCF making a statement! Wow what a season. (You know you love me for it!)
To every person that has helped me, prayed for me, wiped my tears, cheered me on, and celebrated with me this year I want to say thank you for believing in me. I have loved and appreciated each well wish, encouraging word, and sharing of faith. I see 2011 as a year of further growth and maturity. I hope that I can share the encouragement that I have received in 2010 with each one of you in 2011.
This year, here are my goals:
1. Get back to blogging and writing like I used to.
2. Take the GRE.
3. Watch a little less TV. (I cut out a lot of shows last year maybe a few more this year.)
4. Read one new book/novel a month.
5. Read through the bible.
6. Go to a FSU game with the guy who really is the reason that I am a Noles fan. Do you hear me Brandon?! I must sit beside you at Doak and cheer on our Seminoles together!
7. Make a quilt.
8. Complete one act of kindness a day, either an encouraging word, paying for someone’s coffee, or just making someone smile.
9. Pass that test I have to take at the end of January. ;-D
10. Get an iPhone4 (Come on they can’t all be life changing and Earth shattering.) Happy New Year! I love you all.
