Lesson learned

I have a new friend....lets call him George (just because this blog is on the internet and all ha). Anyway we met at school through a mutual friend and he is nice. He is a good friend and occasionally helps me with math homework. We even have a class together....Well during this class George was really grumpy and he was my partner to work with. On the outside I was a nice, kind person despite his grumpiness. Inside, I was thinking "What is with this guy?" and " He could be a little happier and a little more willing to do this."...

Well after that class I had to eat some humble pie because as it turns out that whole two hours he was in pain. He had to have immediate surgery the next week for a hernia.

So lesson of today? You don't know what people are going through...So maybe when someone is rude or grumpy with you. you should try praying for them instead.

What lessons have you learned this week?

Writing a letter to my younger self...

This is a letter to my younger self and while highly personal I believe its more eloquent than one I have thought about putting on here before...you may comment if you would like...I would love to hear what your number one piece of advice would be if you wrote a letter to your younger self.




Dear younger self,
One day you will be 20 years old and still living at home. You will still be behind in school but it won't matter anymore because you will finally be in college. You will meet handsome guys and have crushes but you won't meet one yet  that you think you will marry. You will have your heart broken...but it won't be a huge crushing blow it will be more of a silent pain that the guy doesn't even know about because he doesn't know you care for him like that.But it will be ok because your still friends and you don't want that to change.

Be encouraged though! You will have great friends and a fairly great first semester in college (even though it has had its hardships). You are so blessed by the people you have in your life and you realize it more and more with each passing day, month, and year! Tip: You grow farther away from the people you are close to now and become siblings with some of the people you least expect.


You will still have a rough relationship with mom but you are learning to deal with it in a hopefully more Godly manner...Things are still hard with family sometimes but God is still in control.


You will one day finally be in college, have a car, and be alot more independent...I am there you made it...but it costs alot more than you thought it did and while well worth it...its a crazy life

The car was a hardship with alot of repairs and tears. Still needs a small repair but God did provide even though he probably provided a smaller blessing than He would have had you been more patient. Work on patience! lol

In college your first semester you will have some good professors and some not so good. You make some decent friends and its not so scary. Also you don't completely fail as you feared. I think you will make it through and be doubly excited for your second semester. :)

Overall life is ok. The same family, The absolute best of friends,  college, a car, and just a little heartache and hardship. You have built and are building alot of character still. The story isn't over...hopefully its just beginning.  I don't know about you then but me now can't wait to see what God writes next...hoping for a romance but you know what I will take adventure or whatever else God has lol.

Love,
Your current self :)
