it's me :)

So I haven't blogged in a while but we were talking about it tonight and I felt I needed to start again. There is a lot going on in my life right now with school, church stuff, and friends but I really am learning and growing more than I have in a long time. I'm constantly surrounded by these amazing people who teach me so much about being myself and following my heart. They are definitely drawing stuff out of me that I didn't even know was there. Sometimes I feel like I"m becoming a different person but in a good way meaning more of who I really am. I'm continually realizing that it is so much easier to just be myself and be who I want to be instead of trying to be what everybody else wants me to be. Why do we try to make everybody happy all the time? It's never going to happen and in the process we lose ourselves and just get stressed out. I think I've lived that way for so long that its hard to change it but it's so great to realize that all we really have to do is be ourselves and people will like us. Anyways, I realize more and more everyday that who I am is somebody who loves the church and ministry and wants to do that for the rest of my life. Don't know exactly what that looks like but I love what I'm doing now and I hope I get to continue for a long time :)
