Stayed home sick today. Stupid stomach bug. I am grateful for the fact that I had some anti-nausea medicine that helped a lot. A nice nap didn't hurt either. Relaxed. Went to dinner and had some good chicken and a baked potato. So far no more stomach pain. Hope it stays gone. Not a lot to say today. I am very grateful to have had this day. It was so pretty and warm and relaxing for me. Not even being sick bothered me to be honest. Thank you God for another day.

I can't believe it is April already. Time flies no matter what I guess. I've learned a lot in the last several years. Life has taught me some things I didn't want to know and some things I needed to know. People are fickle. We change our minds relatively easily for most things. The important things usually. We don't stick things out and work things out. Sometimes we give up too easily and figure it is  for the best. We move on before we even recover from a fall. I've always been one to stick things out. I guess I'm more prone to fighting than flighting. lol I've always fought for the things I've wanted the most. I have wanted to give up but in the end, I didn't. I'm proud of that. Now on some things I didn't do that but no one is perfect right? :o)

I will fight for things I think are right and need a good battle for. I get tired but I try to stay focused. I'm asking God to keep me focused and let me know what his will is so I can be sure to follow it. I'm trying very hard to do that. For now, I have to go get ready for school. Have a good day all!

The very first post for my blog!

I created this blog to update family and friends about things in my life. It will make it so much easier to stay up to date with me if you are interested! :o)

I'm very grateful to have God on my side. I will always regret ignoring Him for so long. Had I paid attention things wouldn't be the way they are now. I guess there is nothing to do but ask forgiveness and accept what God gives. I know He's forgiven me. I feel that. I'm grateful for that. I'm very grateful for the support from my mom and baby sister. They've listened and tried to keep me focused and I appreciate that. Life will go on no matter what happens. God will see me through anything and everything.

Welcome to my new blog. I hope you enjoy it. My goal is to stay positively awesome to build more confidence and positive thinking.
