Long time, no blog posts. We'll here's one!!!
Currently sitting & procrastinating the idea of finals being next week, just not trying to think about my responsibilities. Last night was a bit of a struggle, preparing for my anatomy final, staying up until the early hours of the morning for the second day in a row. Madison, Skyler & I have come to the realization, that in 6 short days we are no longer juniors... WE ARE GOING TO BE SENIORS!!!!
Where did all the time go? This year was definitely one of the best and the worst I've ever experienced. High school is in its final stages. I have changed so much throughout this journey called high school, but if you ask my friends I did a complete 180 this past year.
I had a lot of ups and downs, lot of times where I was so ready to just give up and stop trying. School is stressful and being an athlete just adds more stress. Lot of tears cried, lot of uncontrollable laughter, and a lot of friends moving separate ways, but a lot of friends coming that you'd never expect to be in your life.
At the beginning of this year I thought I'd have the same friend group at the end of the year, haha someone should have told me I was dreaming. I am best friends with people I barely knew at the beginning of the year. wow. crazy.
We have developed a group and named it, our Kingdom Family. We have multiple group chats, like a lot of them. We have our same daily lunch group that shares the variety of dumb videos to very deep conversations. Sometimes we do the dumbest things together like throwing food out windows, watching countless TikToks, having long dance parties, and doing very spontaneous things whenever we feel like it. Oh and most importantly spreading the Word and love of Jesus.
Crazy how fast some things change. But its always the same person behind that change, God, He's pretty amazing if I say so myself. He has brought so many people into my life that I love so much, and now couldn't imagine my life without them.
Lately the idea of change is terrifying me, but something I've learned is why be stressed? Why be afraid of what the future holds? God sent His Son to die on the cross to take all those things away.
This week the bible verse I've read a hundred times is Philippians 4:6, "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." As finals approach and the idea of going to college starts to flood my mind, I want to focus on not being stressed, and to be happy about the little things in life.
This year has been filled with many memories that will last a lifetime. Junior Prom was one of the most memorable nights, and our kingdom family hangs out almost every weekend. Then Second Saturday meets every month and you get to see so many people that you've become so close with that go to other schools.
God has transformed my life by putting amazing influences and friends into my life. My junior year was probably the best year of high school I have ever had.
I thank God everyday for my Kingdom Family, they are some of the most inspirational and loving people I have in my life.
If I had to describe this year in two words, they would be spontaneous & eventful.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:"
Here's to those summer days spent at the beach with your best friends, and then those endless nights around the fire talking about the events of the day.
