new memories.

this time last year (like to the hour) i remember lying in the same bed i'm sitting on right now feeling like i couldn't breathe. my mom was laying there with me trying to get me to breathe, to stop or keep crying, or something to help me feel better - but mostly she was just crying too. my heart was broken and there was literally no way to un-break it.

it's been a tough but awesome year. i have done a lot of growing up and a lot of growing. i still have a long way to go - just like i will have a long way to go five years from now and even twenty years from now. one of my favorite things about God is that there is always more to learn - and always more to love.

i'm really excited for the places God is going to take me. because so far, he hasn't given me a reason to believe it won't be great. C.S. lewis said, 'we can never know what might have been, but what is to come is another matter entirely.'

bring it on, J-dizzle.
