Great news!

God loves to look at us, and loves it when we will look back at Him. Even when we try to run away from our troubles...God will find us, bless us, even when we feel most alone, unsure...God will find a way to let us know that He is with us in this place, wherever we are.

Having a rough Morning/ Day/ Evening? 
Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? 
That's called purpose. 
You're alive for a reason. Don't give up.

Take a look at this purpose to live :) Really, really don't ever, ever give up!!

We may not be the kind of people we want to be, we may be a long way from our goals, we may have more failures than achievements, we may not be wealthy or powerful or spiritual, we may not even be hapy, but we are nonetheless accepted by God, held in His hands. --McCullough

To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars;...to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of Christ; and to spend as much time as you can, with body and spirit in God's out-of-doors--these are little guideposts on the footpath to peace. --Henry VanDyke

Some exciting things coming up for me this next year!
-Within this last week, I have signed up to do a 3k "Color Run" In Minneapolis on J-man's bday (July 15th) We are on a team called the Smokin' Hot Chile Peppers! Should be a lot of fun. Mom, Jilly, Katie and I think Justin are all doing the run.
-Then, Sheryl and Whitt will be married on August 4th in Ida Grove, and that is going to be tons of fun (didn't have to sign up for that one, but couldn't leave that event out either :) )
-I will be student teaching starting later in August, at a school to be determined by April or May.
-Then after I am done with that, January 7-15, 2013, I will be traveling to......COSTA RICA!!!!!! I am very excited for another adventure! The Galapagos trip this past January was awesome, and I will post some of my journal entries once I get it back from my professors :)
Can't wait for Spring Break next week so I can travel to Spencer to see Sarah Smith, and also to travel to KC to see Katybeth Whited!! Gonna be a good week!!
