everything happens for a reason.

Diamond Jaxx game tonight with my sweet boyfriend was a lot of fun. Sky box suite is most def the way to watch a game. Although they completely threw away the game, the fireworks after were amazing. The whole night was a bit of a deja vu experience for me, hence the title of this blog. Its so crazy to think about how much has changed in my life over just the past year, and even crazier to think about how much more it is about to. Only about six more months and I will be finished with school, hopefully onto pass my boards and get my license. Can we say registered nurse? I'm pumped. All glory and praise to Him!

I've had to learn some pretty tough lessons this year. Things like you should always be honest with yourself regardless of who it might hurt, and there will always be people who criticize your decisions. But with bad always comes a light at the end of the tunnel. My "light" was realizing that no matter how much I cried or tried people were always going to be the same and the best thing you can do for them is lift them up to the Lord. Not in a "I pray your brakes go out running down a hill (we all know the song)" kinda way, but in a sincere, "I pray that the Lord opens your eyes and heals your heart" kind of way. Then you just have to sit back and let the Lord work. Our God is an awesome God.

Life is so much easier when you put your struggles in His hands.

This song has always meant a lot to me, but it means so much more now. Check it out.

Lay it Down Jaci Velasquez

I've been looking ‘til my eyes are tired of looking

Listening ‘til my ears are numb from listening
Praying ‘til my knees are sore from kneeling
On the bedroom floor

I know that You know that my heart is aching
I'm running out of tears and my will is breaking
I don't think that I can carry
The burden of it anymore

All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are slowly slipping through my folded hands
So I'm gonna lay it down
I'm gonna learn to trust You now
What else can I do
Everything I am depends on You
And if the sun don't come back up
I know Your love will be enough
I'm gonna let it be, I'm gonna let it go
I'm gonna lay it down

I've been walking through this world like I'm barely living
Buried in the doubt of this hole I've been digging
But You're pulling me out and I'm finally breathing
In the open air
This room may be dark but I'm finally seeing
There's a new ray of hope and now I'm believing
That the past is the past and the future's beginning to look brighter now
'Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are safe and secure when I place them in Your hands

Staying strong in the Lord =)
