Violet Hill by Coldplay

I know, I know... It's been a while.

Just when i feel like my life (all 20 whopping years) has come to an odd dead end as far as just not knowing what to do next or what God has planned for that time, He sends something.

Every time. 

This time it's not something for sure, but its definitely an exciting ride i'm on. 

I'm enjoying this age. The uncertainty, the lack of responsibilities a real grown up has, never knowing what the next day holds... 

This has also been a time of learning how important family really is and who my true friends are. 

I'm learning who I am and what things I enjoy on my own. Something I've never really taken the time to do.

Lately I have been taking a book down to the pool and just reading for hours. Dad gave me 2 books from his new favorite author. (they are really good so far by the way... you should check him out: Charles Martin)

Mom and I have been hanging out a lot too, as always.

She makes me laugh and see things more clearly- sometimes. LOL. 

Steph and I are taking a road trip down to Baton Rouge to see her man and my really cool friend Ryan. 

It should be a good trip. 

a new season, a new beginning...

So yesterday was the first "hot" day of the year.

This is my absolute favorite season.

Summer is a sort of a medicine for me.

I don't know if its the sun, the pools or the beaches,

But It's definitely something I always look forward too. 

It also marks the beginning of a new season of life for me...

Its almost been a complete year since my life took a huge turn.

I had many ups and downs. Endured a lot of pain and agony.

But I'm very happy to say that I've been completely set free. 

And I thank God everyday for all of the wonderful (and painful) 

things I've learned in the past year or so.

I don't think it's by any coincidence that all of it happened. 

It was a test.

I know God has huge plans for life and I want to be ready for anything.

I have completely surrendered my life to Him.

I can truly say this is the happiest I have ever been in my life.

It took a lot for me to get it and understand why we have to trust Him,

But It's been the best decision I've ever made...

I want to thank all of my friends who stood by my side during it all- especially Hannah (my roommate and best friend) and Stephanie (my "sister"), my beautiful cousin Sarah, my parents (David and Trudy Bezet) for loving me unconditionally, Billy and Charlene Hornsby (my grandparents) for being a HUGE influence in my life, and my Lord and Savior...
