My Year in Review | 2017

This year has been filled with lots of new challenges and opportunities that I did not see coming when 2017 started. I am grateful for this year and what it has taught me about myself and those that I surround myself around.

On Snapchat, many of my friends were posting pictures of themselves from each month of the year, so I figured instead of doing it on Snapchat, I'll just do it on here for y'all to see. This post will also provide a recap of where I been this whole year like I promised in my last post and why I was not keeping up with this blog as much as I would like. 

Let's Begin... 

January 

I am so happy to start off my new year with celebrating my birthday on Jan. 2nd. 

February 

My school always have a winter formal in February, so here is a couple of my friends and I enjoying ourselves.

March

I love volunteering. Some people from my school and I are volunteering with Hosea Feed the Hungry. 

April

My dance team for my college performing at an annual school event called Stomp the Lawn. 

May

My brother graduated from GSU *Southern* in early May, and surprisingly it was soo cold and chilly on this day.

My sister also graduated from high school in late May. 

June 

I started my Human Resources internship at a bank in Iowa. I will have another post talking about my internship experience and how I was able to go there and get that experience. 

July

4th of July, I went to a county fair in Iowa and rode many rides. Fun fact, at the end of this ride I was not smiling, I was in fact dizzy and nauseous.

A couple of the interns and I at a bank wide event. 

August

Ended the internship program with an out of office fun event for all the interns that I actually planned and set up. 

Later that month, I started my junior year of college. I am a the Co-President for NSLS at my school and we had a clubs and organization fair for all the new students. 

September 

Fun roller skating night at school. 

October 

Photoshoot with dance team at school. This picture was just all the juniors who are on the dance team and to be honest we make up more than half of the team. 

November 

Fun SkyZone night with my junior class. 

December 

Annual event at my school called Boar's Head. There is a whole musical celebration and program for the whole student body and even alums to attend. After the celebration is an after party which is depicted here. This year the theme was Great Gatsby; they had mocktails and all. It was too cute.

Hebrews 6:19 

Inspirational Sunday

Hey y'all, I have decided to change my Relatable Sundays post name to Inspirational Sunday, and speaking of posting, I definitely have fell off on the radar in not posting on my blog. And I honestly don't know why because I have a list of some ideas I would like to write and blog about. But hopefully this week I continue to pick myself up and start blogging again because this is what I honestly love to do. 

As for this quote today, no matter what your next chapter is in life, you shouldn't concentrate on your mistakes or failures in the past. Yes, you made mistakes but now you can learn from them, and not be in the state to constantly be reminded of them. Sometimes people do believe that what happened in their past have to become them, and that is entirely not true. You have the option to start the new chapter in your life and you have to option to learn and grow as a person. 

So any other words, it is time to pick up a new book and start a new page for your life. And you have the choice to have a good or bad ending, because YOU are the author/narrator.

Relatable Sunday #18

We sometimes think we need a plan for everything. But, sometimes those plans don't always go the way you hoped it would have.  I love this quote because it goes perfectly with the song, "Let Go" by DeWayne Woods. When we stop stressing/worrying about how the outcome is going to be, that is when the Lord truly starts working. If you let God have His way then that is when things start happening for your life. For me, I stress so much, and sometimes it's over small things, and I know I shouldn't worry about it because God has my back. Breathe, realize you don't always have to be the one with a plan. Trust, that the Lord will see you through. Let Go, of all the stress and worrying that is holding you back. And See the wonderful works the Lord can do.  Like in Jeremiah 29:11, the Lord has a plan for you and it is not in His heart to see your fail. I've recently decided where I want to attend college this fall, and I just put it into the Lord hands that I made the best decision and I will truly see what happens.
