Wow I'm 22!

It blows my mind that I am 22 years old today! Tonight I am going out with the girls for Japanese to celebrate. As I think about all of the events that have taken place over these 22 short years that I've been alive, it is evident that God has a monster plan for me that I still don't know the half of! Even if I just start thinking back to my senior year of high school it is amazing all of the details that have been worked out for me! I went to Anderson College my freshman year thinking that I would be there all four years. Yeah that didn't work! That was the worst year of my life! After leaving there I came to SWU. That was the decision that has changed my life! I love this place (all except the fact that we live in a jungle because they keep landscaping)! Last summer I thought "I" had my life planned out. I was going to graduate in December and then get married. Little did I know that God had something better in mind for me! I am so thankful that God did not allow that to happen! You see "his" plan was better! God has blessed me with a group of girls that I love and respect more than anything! He has blessed me with a loving family and a sister and brother in law that I are amazing! He has blessed me with a school that is concerned with my spiritual life more than my academic life. He has blessed me with a boyfriend who is by far the most amazing guy ever created! So as I look back on the "past" 22 years, I can't help but anticipate what "God's plan" is for the next 22! I'm pretty pumped!
