2015!

Welcome to 2015! I celebrated the old year and welcomed the new one with church friends. I was only able to take a one hour nap after getting home from my journey and haven't slept yet since. Some friends and I decided to watch the sunrise this morning by heading to Rocky Butte. We got there early and were so cold that we couldn't stand to wait any longer and left without capturing that exact moment of the sun rising. We are currently on our way to our favorite coffee shop to warm up and then it's finally going to be time to catch some z's. Hoping you guys a wonderful and blessed new year with lots of exciting adventures and cherished moments.

I have exactly the life that I pictured I would and the life that I wanted and planned for. Along the way I had a lot of hardships, but ultimately God still gave me what I wanted. What is baffling for me is that the devil can give me so much doubt and discontentment even in situations that I know are right for my life. I realized that there won't be a moment in my life where I will be perfectly content and be absolutely happy about every aspect in my life- not without a fight at least. Reading this book has showed me how actively I have to fight every day to stay alert and listen to the voice of God and tell myself truth instead of listening to the lies that the devil tries ...
