Wow. I cannot believe that this year is already over! It has been a wild ride! God has taught me so much through hardships and camp mostly. Several things have happened this year ( most of which is still in effect) that have taught me some MAJOR lessons. I am still constantly seeking God on many things that are going on right now and He continues to answer.

I've learned about friendship...and that some people are real friends and some aren't.

I've learned about service...and that sometimes God is going to ask you to serve in places that you don't really like, but you have to because He thinks that it's best. When that happens you have to suck it up and not complain about it.

I've learned to step out of my comfort zone.
