Catching up

Hello Friends and Family! I am truly embarrassed that I have not kept my blog updated. My reason for creating this site was to help keep people informed (if they so desire) of the happenings in my life. I was successful for about a month, then my efforts came to a terrifying crash-landing. However, failure is not final (We were told this in chapel on Friday) so I would like to pick up where the pieces landed...

I am now in my last semester at GBS! I will graduate in May, after which I plan to attend nursing school back in Indiana. I am thankful for the time God has given me here at GBS, I have changed and matured so much since I came as a freshman in 2005. I have named my page Seguidor de Cristo, which in english means follower of Christ, because that is exactly what I want to be. I want to follow in the steps that He has for my life. Since being at GBS I have learned much about who God is. I am grateful for how He has changed my view of Him. The year of 2007 was probably the toughest year of my life. But yet God was there the entire time in a very special way. I do not understand why God allowed some things to happen, but I am not going to ask the question "why", I am going to rely on the fact that God has a purpose for everything He does. I know that through those things, I am a much better person for Him.
I attend the Madison Pilgrim Holiness church where my Brother-in-law is the pastor. I am excited about what God is doing for us. In the last year and a half the attendance has nearly doubled! God is responsible for that! I can't wait to see what He has for the future of the church body.
I have been keeping busy with school and work. I am a RA (resident assistant) here at GBS. I am a nanny for two families (six children) in Cincinnati, and I work as a CNA at a nursing home on some weekends. Needless to say, I keep busy. However, I do manage to find some time for fun! I have a wide variety of friends abroad and I am very thankful for all of them.
This has gone a little longer than I intended, thank you all for reading my blog. I will keep this updated!!
