Good afternoon everyone,
Today I have been reflecting back on my 2016 year. A lot has gone on and a lot has happened this year. Some hard things, some great things, and some crazy things... Honestly it has been crazy and a whole whirlwind of events have happened. Today as I started looking back at this year, I thought in my head, Man I really did have a rough year... Man I screwed things up and I could have done a ton differently. Man, How come I was such a jerk or such a huge failure?!?
But today as I was looking back at all of this... I thought, You know what I can dwell on all the negative things that I did this year and sit here and be sad and depressed... Or I can look back at this year and thank the Lord for what He has taught me and all He has done for me.
So today, I thought that I really need to look how God has taught me and what He has brought me through.
No, my life isn't perfect... My life seems like a mess sometimes, but I have learned a lot through the trials the Lord has brought me through... Quite honestly, I wouldn't change what I have gone through for the world. Here is a time of reflecting on some things that happened this year:

- This past Spring I had a rough time... I was trying to finish up high school and at the same time I was going through some pretty rough friendship stuff. And on top of that, I was having a really hard relationship with a relative. It broke my heart so badly that I was getting treated by this person the way I was, but then I remembered that I need to continually love the way Christ loves no matter how rude their words may be.
- At the beginning of Summer, I graduated and had an amazing graduation party and a lot of my friends and family were able to make it. -- Including my birth brother from Oklahoma and my birth Uncle and his family. It made my graduation party even better that they would come out and see me. It made my year for sure.
- After my Graduation party, I was able to go out with my birth brother for a whole afternoon of fun with him. It was such an awesome time to just get to spend time with him. I love him so much.
- At the end of Summer, a guy I was in a relationship with... played on me and cheated. But I realized that the Lord taught me a ton through it. He has grown me to become more like Christ each and every day and to trust Him through times of heartbreak.
- I was baptized this year as well... And my dad had the privilege of doing it.
- This Fall I started attending CBU and I love it! To be honest, school isn't my thing at all.. I am the type that just wants to finish and be done so that I can start on what I will be doing a career in.
