Goodbye 2007 , Hello 2oo8.

Im not going to lie, 2007 wasn't a horrible year, but it certainly wasn't the best of my 18 years of life either.




So here i go, starting another chapter of my life, as a girl, a young woman after God's own heart. And im not really sure where im going. 2007 brought lots of memories, such as my one year anniversary of my baptism , new friendships, growth, love, church planting with awaken, my first mexico experience in march of 2007, graduating, first christmas without my mom living at home, becoming best friends with my sister, being a member of the 007 gull lake staff , and turning 18.

And as i venture into 2008 i was alittle disapointed with how i celebrated my new year. Without huge detail, i realised that when i drink, and when i put myself into those situations, i am not the person that God has called me to be. No i wasn't drunk, and no i didnt do anything i regretted, but being in that environment, made it very clear to me that as a person following an everlasting God, that that is not what i am about.

I went out for coffee with a good friend of mine yesterday and we got to talking about my new years, and after explaining the situation to him, and hearing what he had to say, i realised what a brilliant man he truly is.

Perhaps i have been taking on too much. My life went from sleeping all day with mono, to full throttle into being busy, and consuming my life with lots of things, because i knew that once in my life i was capable of handling everything the world threw at me.

Maybe my deepest realisation of 2008 will be that i don't need to take on the world all by myself. That i don't need to fix everything, or be the mother hen. Even though that is the person i have taught myself to be, maybe i just need to look after Bree for a while.

I am going off to Gull Lake to babysit on Sunday, and i hope i can really just find myself out there, and realise the importance of being a girl who is after God's own heart.

Here i go, re-evaluate 2008.
