Ephesians 1:15-19... I got this little card with my name on it when I was in 5th grade from my Missionettes teacher at church. I forgot I had it.  And today, while doing my homework, I saw it. I still want to be that person and live a life that shines for Christ! I want to be discerning as I make decisions about friends, school, my future career and just life! I want to be focused on Christ and only Him. It sure is crazy how God reminds of the little important things at the perfect time!

This year has been full of lessons. And in in the process, I lost some things that meant a lot to me. But, it's true that when God closes one door, He'll open a new one... so I'm ready to see what better things He has in store for me. I know it will be difficult, but it will be so worth it! He's still got this. As this school year is coming to an end, in just a few weeks, I'm so thankful for everything that has happened, for every problem, heartache, laugh and smile. It was hard. But, it has made me stronger and closer to Him :)
