Entering a New Stage

So I am in a very interesting stage of my life right now. I have one semester left in college, I am a new auntie, and I am getting married in 6 & 1/2 months. I am so excited to embark on this new stage in life, however at times I wonder how I got here so fast. How is that I am graduating college and getting married soon? I feel like I am still 17 years old and trying to figure everything out. It's weird to see that those older than me were right when saying "time goes by so fast". I find myself saying that constantly and feel aged! Yet when I reflect back on these last 3 years at Biola, I cannot help but notice the changes in my life.

I have learned that I deserve respect, that I am worthy of good Christian friends, I deserve an amazing Christian man, God's forgiveness is wider than anything I can imagine, I am capable of helping and changing lives, and I have a great call on my life that one day will come true.

This past semester has been one full of growth. I have grown in love, laughs, and memories so much more with my bestest friend Kate, I have seen the strength, perseverance, and drive of my roommate and best friend Jen, I have learned so much about my friends around me, and I have learned what kind of woman I am growing into.

Even though this next stage of my life is filled with surprises and more times to trust in the Lord to provide, I am excited. I think I am ready, and I know that I am not alone in this journey.

Also this summer, I have become so proud of my sister. She fights for things in a way I never knew before, she is determined to seek out truth in her life, and she is worthy of praise. I love my little sister and am so thankful for her in my life.
