Random Thoughts Pt 2

Ok, so summer ended, not as eventfully as it began, let me tell you! But that incident did help me realize how much my parents love me. They stuck with me the whole time I was in the hospital, even when my dad almost fainted from the blood, he stayed by my side. One morning, when my dad was in the living room and I was sleeping on a cot, he came over and held my hand. My dad never shows his soft side so for him to do that really meant a lot to me, he had no idea I was awake though, haha. Anywhoodles, I entered last semester, without my sister(academically disqualified) not knowing, again, what to expect. I had met most of you through other people but I had never really gotten to know you. Until this year. I was invited to BASIC and I went, without any reason as to why, I just felt like I needed to. I started hanging out in Scales and then at Church. I went ot the BASIC Conference, which was superly amazing and wonderful! I got Baptized in the Holy Spirit with my fave Aussie! I was so nervous I asked her to do it with me and she happily agreed. It was so nice ot have an accountability partner to encourage me, I would have never been able to go up there alone. It's funny how you meet some people in your life. I remember seeing Simone in my Child Psych class, she sat right behind me and being the judgemental person I'm working on not being, I thought "Who is that girl with the weird hair?" And then I was introduced to her at BASIC and it took me like three times to finally understand her enough to figure out her name, lol. We came very close very quickly and I couldn't believe how much God had blessed me with such amazing people in my life. I also soon realized God knew I wouldn't have done all this if my sister had been at college with me, I just wouldn't have. My parents who used to be so controlling, telling me what to buy, what not to buy, what to do with my hair, clothes eventually realized I was nto going to let them do that anymore. Thanks to Ashley W, the first time I went against them was when I went out and bought my laptop. It's taken them a long time to figure out I'm going to make mistakes in life and they just have to let me make them and learn from them. Don't get me wrong, I lvoe my parents more than they know, but they I guess I just needed to draw the line and loosen their hold on me. I have grown so much since the beginning of last semester and God has shown me so much, through the Bible, my friends, my family, Church and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for me. thats partly why I named my blog No End in Sight, because I pray I will always be continuously growing closer to Him and always seeking Him. I look forward to continuing the long journey I am on, with Him traveling by my side. I wonder how many blogs I have to post to be up to speed with everyone else? hahaha. subject of next blog post, love or infatuation? with bonus material inside! (poem written by me) stay tuned!
