My Sweet Sara

Well tonight I'm not gonna talk about myself or what's been going on with me lately but I'm gonna tell you how amazing my little sister is!!



Sara is my little sister and she is 3 almost 4 years younger than me. Sara is a girl that moves to the beat of her own drum. I love her so much! She is a sophomore and this is the first year that she and I have not lived under the same roof. I moved off to college and although I said that I wouldn't miss her that much I have! Sara is one of the sweetest people I know and she has one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen a girl have. I am so happy that Sara is my little sister. Sometimes I don't act that way, but she really is one of my heroes. I have truly been blessed to have her as my little sister... I got to talk to my mom tonight about all of the fun things Sara is getting to do at home and I am so proud that she is searching to find who she really is...When I was at home I think I always tried to outshine Sara, but now I know that I should have let her light shine like the wonderful girl she is!! I pray that she will grow into the beautiful girl that God has created her to be and that she always listens to God in all she does.... This quote sticks out to me when I think of her...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

This quote is my prayer for her...that she may shine as young children do...

Headache

i don't feel like writing a lot today....so i found this quote and i don't know why but i like it...but here it is so enjoy....

"Sometims you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant ot be, will end up good, and what is not, won't. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must just move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to giv you. Hopefully, people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. Always fight, until you can't fight anymore, and then be fought for."

Some relationships are definitely worth fighting for most of the time...but it's tiring being the one fighting for it. Make sure that both parties want to fight otherwise....it can feel like you're wasting time.

changes

In the last blog, I wrote about Birmingham and how it is now my new home. Things havent changed in that sense because Birmingham is still my home and will be my home until i finish school or move onto to something bigger and better. What has changed is my major lol. I finally sat down and actually evaluated the real reason i wanted to be a nurse, and I found that I was wanting to be a nurse to please other people. I'm not gonna do that anymore. I have changed my major to Secondary education. I am now going to be taking classes to become a math teacher. Now all of high school if you would have asked me if i would ever think of teaching I would have adamently said no haha. Now, I plan to teach kids who were just like me the subject that I have always loved. This decison was not a decision I didn't think about a lot. One of the other main reasons I wanted to become a nurse was to do overseas missions and fufill peoples physical needs so that i could build relationships and tell them about a God who loves them with all of his being. I still want to do overseas missions, but now I think I'm gonna be doing some teaching while I do it lol. Life is crazy. I am learning more and more daily that I'm not perfect and I'm never ever ever gonna be perfect. I also get to realize on a daily basis that Christ's love and grace is all I'll ever need!! I am filled with a joy that I know only comes from Christ and life is just GREAT!!
