Summer of Change

So this summer is completely different from 08' in so many ways. Going into break I thought that there was no way this summer could be close to how awesome last summer was. Season pass to Cedar Point where I used to work, getting free stuff while there, and spending almost all my time with my best friend Stephanie. Anyways, without going into detail, it was an amazing summer before starting college. This summer though, has changed me in so many ways it's unreal. My boyfriend for one has told me on a number of occasions that he's definitely noticed a change. He would know since we've been friends for over 3 years. I he main thing that I think really changed me was the introduction to my cousin's cell group/Bible Study. My relationship with God has matured and grown so greatly in the last 3 months, and I'm slowly being revealed to other purposes in my life as well as being confirmed in my purpose to be a teacher.
Something else that has made me grow is finding out my 17 yr old best friend cousin was pregnant, planing her two showers, being the godmother, and just learning to cope with the fact that something else is drastically changing in my life.
Reflecting over the past year, starting college, the stuff I went through while there, coming back home and dealing with an array of other changes in my life has definitely made me a different person.
I don't really know what God has in store for me in the upcoming year. I do know that i'm strengthened, I have favor with the God that created everything and loves me beyond belief, and that i can take any changes that step up in my life now easier than before.
