Years in Review

You know,
it is really awesome to see who you were years ago
But,
It may also be scary.
With the new Facebook timeline I was able to view...
MY HISTORY!
At first it was sad... but I have soo much to be thankful for!
I wanted to let you all know this, so this is why I am writing to you and you and of course I won't forget you over there!
2011
Was a trying year for me, all of the trials and tribulations that a typical 21 yr old goes through. Well, I can definitely state them and rave on how theses bad things happened, but 2011 was much more than the bad things, times, and even, people.
The majority of the year was a blessing, a blessing to be here on this earth, a blessing to be here seeing you, a blessing to be able to say God has brought you through 2011 too!!! (Mrs adventure) To be able to rejoice with you all in all of the wonderful moments and... to be able to cry and share the burden of your pain!!! I Love that some of you shared your prayer requests!!! 2011 was a year that I got to pray for soooo many of my family and friends in more specific ways!!! It was a BLESSING!
I got to look in review my life... and came up with a conclusion in the form of a question.
What was the legacy I left in 2011?
Speechless.
One area I did not leave a legacy in was, my personal growth relationship with my Abba father. . . . . . . . 
Yes, I realize it now.
Yes, I know I was wrong.
Yes, I can shape my future.
AND YES, He still loves me!!!! :-D
I am sooo blessed!!!
One of my New Years Resolutions is to start a quiet time, again, with my Abba Father!! And though, I might have failed from conquering that last year, He still has faith in me and He is not finished with me yet!!!
Another area last year that I lost was.... some friendships. (Tears)
And I know that some are meant to be gone but, others are still waiting, waiting for my reply.
I blamed it on being too busy to have the time to set aside to build our friendship up! (Which is mostly true)
But some of you out there I really owe an apologetic sincere regard to, and you know who you are! and for that, I am truly sorry. Looking on the past year, I still have a chance on some of these friendships. Which leads me into my 2nd Resolution, rekindling those close knit relations again!!! Why? because I miss you too, and I need you like you need me!!!
2011 also had a bad mind set in my own personal life, this included being mad and bitter about things that I have NO control,ties, and/or responsibilities towards anymore! That mindset of always brought my personality and my guard down, giving me a better opportunity to do the wrong thing. (Don't worry I did not do anything too bad/stupid)
My third resolution come from this deep and personal self control in my own life, and is, trying to remind myself each and everyday that I am a child of the Creator! And That He still LOVES me unconditionally, even when I slip up! To truly live and believe in the Jeremiah 29:11 passage!
Lastly, God has called me to be a LEADER, wherever I am, He has made this evident, especially this past year. Little did I fully know, that people really feed off of me and what I do. This makes me responsible to always TRY to be a good example. . . . . My 4th resolution, to live a life, REFLECTING THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE, JEHOVAH!

I am writing you all this as an update, a prayer request, a support system, and as friends to hold me accountable to my goals!
Thank you SO much for being a part of my life last year, and for entering this New Year with me!! And please, if you need me let, me know. Any Prayer requests, anything, IF I can help I would love to! 

What legacy will I leave with the end of 2012?
Thank you all, Thank You God for always loving me, Thank you all who helped me make it through 2011 and thank you all who hold a close and special piece of my heart.
I LOVE YOU ALL & May 2012 be a BLESSING TO YOU!!!
