Today was just one of those days. You know the kind that nothing seems to be going for you, yet somehow you find a light at the end of the tunnel. Always looking for the best in everything can be hard sometimes. Well, It's a new day. That's always a positive.

Don't get me wrong, I love life. I am SO blessed to have the things in my life that I do. This is why I strive to make everyday count for something, and for someone. It is so important for people to know that they are needed and wanted in this world. Just a little something I've gathered over my years.

Today, I had two MASSIVE tests, a paper due, and a to-do list as long as I am tall. And for once in my life, I am not stressed about it. THANK YOU LORD.

Making friends is so much fun. I throughly enjoy it. I am really starting to see that everything happens for a reason. Although I miss MSU, I am so happy to have met some of the people I have at Baptist. LML.

That pretty much sums up today EXCEPT: It was weigh in day! Another 2 pounds down. HOLLA!

EIGHT DAYS UNTIL I'M 21!

Today, my song of the day is going to be Tomorrow; Chris Young. Listen to it!

You know you love me,

In Christ, there are no goodbyes; RIP, Matt.

This post is going to be pretty intense, just a little warning.

You know, life is so precious. We live; We breathe; We attempt to leave a mark on this world. But, if you think about it, no one really knows when it's their time to go. This weekend, I lost a friend of mine in a car accident. The crazy part about it: I just spent last weekend with him. It's crazy how life happens that way.

This experience takes me back to March 5, 2005. A day I will probably never forget. Being at the mall, and finding out a close friend had passed. You don't realize what you've got 'til it's gone.

We don't expect things to happen to us when we're young. We're invincible. Think we have it all. Matt Johnson, you were one of the sweetest guys I have ever met. A barrel of laughs. So fun to be around. I know you are missed and loved by many. Watch out for us down here. PS: I still owe you $10. :)

This whole thing leads me to a couple great points.

One: Don't take things for granted. We're not promised time on this earth.

Two: Everything happens for a reason. Even though things happen in our lives that seem to be bad, God is looking out for us.


Just a few things to catch you up on my life:
I have lost 12 pounds on my dieting adventures. (yay.) I miss starkville and all of the people there. And because of this weekend, I plan to live my life a bit differently.

The song of the day, (Actually, there's two!) Halfway to Heaven; Brantley Gilbert, and Homesick; MercyMe.

She hides her Paul Mitchell hair under that John Deere Hat...

Hey, Sorry It's been a little bit since my last blog. Things have gotten so hectic in my life. I have finally forced myself to focus on school and finding a job to replace my old one. Suddenly, I have NO time.

So, here's my venting for a little bit. I am in nursing school. The class that is giving me the most work load, World Religions. Something a little wrong with this picture? I think yes.

My life has recently turned pretty dang good. I mean, It has always been that way, though. I am just starting to notice that the more important things in life are the things that make me happy. (Always a good thing, right?) I am glad I don't need certain things to have a good time, such as drugs and such. Addiction tears people and families apart. Sad day.

BTW, dieting is going INCREDIBLE! I lost another 3 pounds this week. I'm feeling fabulous about myself.

Love life is pretty dull. I miss my guy friends. :(

So, I am super excited about this week's SONG! It's "My Kinda Woman", by Craig Morgan. I LOVE IT! Fit's my life, kinda perfectly.

You know you love me,
GG
