Well, in less than 48 hours will officially be a college graduate! I still cannot fathom that it has already been 4 years and I'm about to walk out in my black robe and accept my college diploma with honors! I am proud to say that I have finished up my last semester of my undergraduate work with straight A's! It is the first time I have done it throughout college! Wow, and what a ride it has been. In a month I am about to finish up my golf season that's had an amazing 4 year run. With 2 tournaments left to go I have participated in over 84 tournament rounds all over the United States, been a part of about 10 victories, and won a small match myself. I can only pray that me and my team will finish out this season strong with Regionals this week and the National Championship in 3 weeks.
I have been blessed to have met some amazing people throughout my 4 years at CBU. I have been fortunate enough to have gained many life long friends that I know that if I was ever in need I could call them up and in a moments notice they would be there. In the last three years I have traveled to 3 different counties and been fortunate enough to serve on several different ministries. The Lord has brought me through a lot and grown me and broken me as He has desired, and I am grateful for every trivial and difficult thing I have faced in the last 4 years. My life would not be what it is today without all of those and I wouldn't have the ability to speak to people and relate to them the way that I am able now.
I am very anxious to complete this chapter in my life, but also am very anxious for the several new beginnings in my life. I start my new job at Sips coffee very soon, I will be living in a new place with one of the greatest women I have come to know, I will be starting my dual-masters program at CBU in Counseling Psychology and Counseling Ministry in late August, and will continue to grow in the Lord and grow in my relationships with the Lord being the center of it all.
One of the greatest blessings I have had is Jovan. The Lord has done some amazing things in our relationship and has grown us so much closer to Him. We have both been stretched out of our comfort zone and are stepping up to the plate to be great stewards for the Lord's work in our lives. He has been able to keep us strong through the 8 months we've been together and kept us stable even though 2 hours keeps us a part most of the time. I have been blessed with a great man and I look forward to seeing what God has planned for us in the future. Thanks for all your prayers.
Just to tell you all about how much of a wonderful man Jovan is in my life, I just received and email from him today titled "11 Reasons Why I Love You" and it made me want to cry. The Lord has blessed me! Thy will be done Lord, on earth as it is in heaven. We are just constantly praying for guidance, direction, and strong spiritual foundation for our lives and we ask that our friends and family pray for that also. With the distance it is hard and we are doing our best to best examples of Christ we can be when we are apart but most importantly together. We consider our relationship a blessing from the Lord and we want to do our best to honor that. Prayers are powerful and we all need it! :) Thanks for all your support and prayers!
