Lovely Blessings

Today was one of the greatest days ever, my sweet friends. I want to share with you about our chapel service at Faith that was so incredibly beautiful, overwhelmingly amazing, heart-touching, and Spirit-driven. For a couple of months now, Coach Skoda (whom I love with my whole heart) kept telling me that soon we would have a “split” chapel service where the boys would have their own service, and the girls would have their own service. He asked me if I would be willing to speak to the precious 7th-12th girls of Faith during that service and asked me to speak from the heart (from where the Lord was leading).

You guys... I have not written a blog post in TWO months! I can't believe it's been so long since I have given my sweet 'lil bloggy poo some tender love and care. 2014 has been a whirlwind so far! I feel like I am always on the go, but I am loving every single minute of it and wouldn't have it any other way. 2014 has been a year I have been looking toward to for quite some time now. I just have a feeling this year is going to be one of the best years of my life, and I just know the Lord is going to continue pouring out His sweetly amazing blessings.  So here's what's been going on with me since we have entered twenty fourteen: :) 1. I began my student teaching.  Y'all, I have been looking forward to this for FOREVER! I have been dreaming about becoming a teacher for so long now, and this is the semester I have been waiting for... A time when I can finally start using everything I have been taught over the last four years and a time when I c
