Standing Still

It is weird when you are feeling like the people around are all moving forward and you are standing still. I know that I am doing things to forward my schooling and my career, but I feel most of this feeling when it relates to my personal life. The people around me are building relationships. They are meeting their significant others and building friendships. I know that I have good friendships at this point in my life. I struggle more with this when thinking about significant others. I know that in life I want to be married and have a family. I have been single for about 4 years. In that time I have not had much of a relationship at all. I feel like all the people around me are finding people, falling in love, getting engaged, and getting married.

I know that God has plans for everyone and it is going to happen in the best timing. It can be hard to keep telling myself this when I feel like everyone is moving in that direction. I try to remember that God has planned for me the greatest man that I could ever imagine. I know that He is working to make both of us ready to be the person the other one needs. I try to focus on becoming the best person I can be and this will translate into being the best wife I can be.

If you have any Bible verses, personal stories, or encouragement, please leave them in the comments. We could all use a little support.

I Passed!

About a month ago I took a test that I needed to pass in order to get my teaching license. This test has just been brought in for future teachers to take. So, that means professors do not know how to help exactly and there are not many other students who have already taken it. I got my scores yesterday and I passed which is a huge relief. I still have things to accomplish before I am officially a teacher but this is one of the things that was weighing most heavy on my shoulders.

I am so excited to become a teacher in a year. I cannot wait to help students inside and outside of the classroom. I think a teacher is one of the most rewarding jobs that I could have. Some children in the love and stability that is provided during the school day. My goal is to make sure that each one of my future students know that I care and they can come to me. I want to teach them things that will make them successful inside and outside of the classroom.

Hello Again

So it has been six months since I have posted on here. I would apologize, but I do not think that anyone actually reads this or missed my posts. I am going to try to post more because I really do enjoy just getting things about life off of my chest. It makes me feel better, especially the things that I do not necessarily want to tell anybody about. So time to catch you up on what has happened in my life in the past six months.

1) I finished my hardest semester of school. I took 20 credits of Education classes and I am still shocked I survived. It was stressful and crazy, but it also showed me the amazing people I have in my life. It also showed me what I can accomplish when I set my mind to it. That being said this means that I only have one semester of classes left and then one semester of student teaching.

2) I took a test that I have to pass to get my teaching license. The most stressful part about it is waiting for my scores (so hopefully you will see a celebration post soon).

3) I had new experiences with my friends and we got a lot better at driving into the city.

4) I started at a new location for my summer job. So I have been working to make it as successful as possible. For the parade and carnival we put on our theme is African Safari, so let me know if you have any ideas.

5) I turned 21!!! Which was exciting although since my semester was so stressful it was a pretty chill event. I just went out and got my free margarita and then went to bed so I could wake up for class in the morning.

6) My brother's senior year basketball and baseball season both ended at the state tournament. They were both amazing experiences to be a part of and it was extremely exciting.

Those are the huge things that have happened to me. I will try to post more frequently if anybody does read this. If you do read I would love to receive a comment or email from you :)
