falling in love without you.

well this is my first post. i'm so glad that ashley got me into this, i can tell that its going to be amazing. well i've never really blogged before so here goes.  i can't believe i am in my senior year. i can't believe that i will be graduating in less than a year, and moving 3,000 miles away from my family to go to college. it blows my mind that i have come to this point in my life.  i remember being in elementary school thinking "when will it all be over?" but now that it is coming to a close, i don't really want it to.  who will wash my clothes, make my meals, hug me when i have had a bad day, or be there for me.  i know that they will just be an email or a phone call away but after 18 years of being with my family, what is it going to be like to be away from them.  it is already hard being away from friends that have left, or friends that i have had to leave.  i struggled last year big time, but this year has been so much better. i think its because i have been applying myself more.  i feel so cheesin' blogging all of my thoughts on the internet, but oh well. i need an outlet for everything.  today invisible children came to my school (www.invisiblechildren.com) its an amazing organization that helps child soldiers in northern uganda. it is such an eye opener to other parts of the world, that even though i am far away from i can still have an impact on by donating money.  its totally radical.  and tonight at bible study we talked about hearing God's word.  i really need to start setting time aside for the Lord everyday, because without him i am nothing a verse that really stuck out to me today was matthew 6:34 "therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself, each day has enough trouble of its own." i think that i spend too much time worrying about the future that i am not doing what is right for the task at hand.  i think i really need to take a step back and look and all of the things that i have accomplished and things that i am accomplishing. the Lord is so amazing i am so thankful and glad that he is my savior.  well i should probably get going.
