The pages are turning, and ill keep running.

        Throughout these past few months, life has taken crazy twists and turns, hops and leaps of faith and all together stood still. You know how everyone talks about those moments in their lives, the ones that make them who they are, when they were just given a chance to do one thing great, one thing life changing, where worlds collide and the seas dry up. When you are standing still in the midst of the busy-ness and all the whirl winds that life has to offer. Everything is a blur and you can't seem to catch your balance because as soon as you place one foot down, the other is running. The ground is nothing but an illusion. One thing after another, life has been so exciting and full of surprises and blessings at every turn. Throughout this past season, I have moved from both home&city, accepted a full time job right out of school, got engaged, ...hold on..... ENGAGED, and just opened up a brand new chapter in my life. 

        There hasnt really been anything holding me, keeping me centred in the midst of all this, nothing except for Jesus. He has been my rock, my fortress and my solitude. He has been my comfort when others have opposed me, he has been my shelter on those lonely first nights out here on my own and has been my calm in the crazy storm of weddingness. I would'nt have been able to do any of this if it wasnt for him, I wouldnt have this courage to go out on my own and take life head on. I wouldnt have this confidence that I can do this that I CAN and WILL teach in another language right out of my ECE schooling. I wouldnt have thought I could do anything without him, he has been the voice in my head pushing me forward and guiding me, bringing me back when I fall down or am feeling completely drained. Jesus is my source of hope and of thanks. Life is such a blessing and I am so glad I have God as my guide. God has filled me with such a yearning to do his will, and live this life he's given me to the fullest. I am certain and without a doubt that God would never give me anything that I couldnt handle and if he did, he is right there beside me, walking me through the darkness and the unknown. 

         Living on my own has taught me to completely rely on God and God alone. To spend time with him, to meditate on his word daily and bring him each and every one of my struggles, pains and worries. 

        God has continually blessed me over and over and over throughout my life, maybe now that I am growing up and have different values and goals in my life that I am beginning to notice it more and more. One thing I constantly thank God for is for my loving family I have been blessed with. My immediate family and my Fenton Family. I cannot even begin to express how blessed I feel to have these people in my life. they are loving, kind, giving, humble, best friends, mentors, genuine, accepting, strong in Christ, funny, and a complete joy to be around. They have all helped me in one way or another and helped me grow as a person both within and in Christ. I thank God for all of you and am so blessed and honoured to soon be apart of your family. 

        I am so excited to see what God has in store with me over this next year, if it's anything like this past year, it's going to be jam packed with fun, adventures, growing, and exploring everything that God has planned for me in my life! && I'm so excited that I get to go on this journey with the loved ones I have in my life.
