A new day

So, I got my blood drawn yesterday. With my body... I don't do well with little blood. I like to keep ALL of it. But "they" seemed to think they need it more. WHATEVER! Saving four lives with one blood donation. Yeah okay. At least I get to know what my blood type is for the IMB.

That is another headache in itself. This has been the longest process ever! BUT for me a good one. It has been teaching me patients and go with what God is calling me to do. "Love does not easily anger" I continue to remind myself that this is for God's will. Not my own. I continually want to say no and back out and run in the other direction, the easier direction. But I know that it is going to be the story of Jonah if I don't listen now. I am going to regret it and then I am going to have to go anyway.

As this semester is coming to a close, I start to realize how my life is changing. My best friend is getting married in July, I am walking across the stage of graduation, I am dating a boy in which my family is meeting this weekend, I maybe going to San Diego for the Bateman finals, and in January will be leaving for Europe for two years. I never thought I would be saying that. I am excited and nervous and filled with joy and fear. I think that is the best place to be right now. As weird as that sounds I truly believe it.

Today is a new day. I am conquering what needs to be conquered, standing up for myself when necessary, and smiling cause it confuses people.
