God has blessed me tremendously and I have just come to many realizations:
He has blessed me beyond measure and I have been failing to see it time and time again in Sonoma. I have been surrounded by it and have just been missing the beauty! Through all of my beautiful family members who have helped me get settled in leading up to and during move-in weekend, my mom especially through just helping me with EVERYTHING I could possibly ever ask for, my amazing friends at home who support me with everything and in everything I am doing here at Sonoma and love me so hard, my mentors who are there for me when ever I call on them and love me so much as well, my new found friends I have already made who are already looking out for me and love me (Erin, Kelsey, Molly, Emily and IV girls :)), Blake, the amazing brother I have who calls me every day just to see if I need anything and how my day is going, to take me out to meals other than caf food and love me through everything, what a blessing to have his support, and I know I am missing others in my life who are a blessing to me. My support system is much bigger than I have been thinking in my head these past couple days, I got into this mindset of thinking just because I don't have my girls with me all the time to hang out with, I need to stop and really look around to see how many people care about me, not to mention uhh duh, GOD is at the top of the list, working through and providing those people in my life for me to have AS A BLESSING! AS MANY MANY MANY BLESSINGS! So hello JOY filled heart! I cannot lose heart just because one thing may go wrong throughout the day or I get annoyed with the girls I am living with, because that is only ONE bad thing in the midst of such a beautiful picture, and I need to just jump into God's arms and trust Him that He is going to carry me through this! I cannot give up on being myself and bringing myself into the lives of my roomates just because they are different than me and may need a little more time or a lot more time to come out of their shells. This is such an amazing journey that I need to be mindful of, and it is only starting! I am living in the present and not worrying about the future, because my Abba has that in His hands, and has me in His arms :) Goodnight moon.
