My 15th year

Today is officially my 365th day being a 15 year old....in other words, I turn 16 tomorrow! Wahoo! In honor of this past year I've decided to make a list of the MANY things I've learned this year...


-Being forced out of my comfort zone can be a VERY good thing.

-Mother was right...my sisters actually CAN be my best friends.

-I really enjoy watching the news.

-There's some pretty intense parties on the beach in Florida during spring break....don't worry, I didn't join :)

- When I'm weakest, He is strongest.

-I STINK at coming up with cabin cheers for camp beautiful.

-Keeping a pure heart is so much harder than I imagined it would be....

-Friends will let you down...God won't.

-I am tremendously blessed and need to learn how to be a blessing to others as well.

-I want to live in Denver at some point in my life.

-God wasn't kidding...He has revealed Himself to us in nature.

-Not all relationships are beneficial.

-Hard work, and I mean really hard work, feels so good!

-My parents are right WAY more than I would like to admit.

-Not everything with God's name in it is God ordained.

-Sometimes, caring for people can be reallllly aggravating.

-Although it sometimes doesn't feel like it, I have the best family in the world.

-Although chemistry is SUPER hard....I strangely love it.

-Chocolate is so chocolatey (:

-I have been blessed with amazing, supportive friends who I'm praying God will keep in my life!

-Sometimes God asks us to let go of the things we love to make his glory shine even brighter.

-In order to be the woman God created me to be I need to continue surrendering myself to His will.



......Being 15 has taught me ALOT!! And as my 16th year comes right around the corner, I have to say I'm pretty darn excited to see what God has to teach me this year!!
