It's Been A While!

So, earlier today I was thinking about starting up a blog-mainly because I LOVE to journal and it's a fun way to share different experiences and things that you like to write about (for me: Jesus, Health, Fitness) with anyone else who is even the least bit interested! ;) I went to create my blog and typed in my info and the website told me that I already had a blog!! Well, I started one last summer and...probably had it for about a month and poor little bloggy just kinda died. So, I figured why start another when I can basically pick up where I left off!? Things have changed quite a bit in the past YEAR since I've updated the blog! (Go figure) I GRADUATE COLLEGE (crazy, right?) in December!! I will officially have my Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Physiology and I also just became a certified Personal Trainer (something I have ALWAYS wanted to do)!! At this point in my life I am about to embark on an incredible journey that I feel like would have been completely impossible without the prayers of my friends and family. I was offered an internship-that I REALLY wanted- at UAB Children's Hospital! I will be working under a Clinical Nutritionist. I have orientation this Monday and I could NOT be more excited. Of course, the part of me accepting the internship was the easy part, but the real test will start next week when I begin my work with the hospital. I am a little nervous, just because I am a sensitive girl and can cry at the drop of a hat! I LOVE babies, little kids, etc and seeing them hurting won't be an easy part of what I'll be doing; however, I know the Lord has put me in this place for a very specific reason and I can't wait to see what it is.
    Like last summer, I will HOPEFULLY be chaperoning our sweet youth at my home church to Centrifuge in Jackson, Tennessee the first week of June! If my job permits, then I will be going! I can't wait. It will be my 7th year at Centrifuge and I have loved every year. It's always a great week to be able to worship the Lord in music, preaching, and PLAY!(or nap for the chaperones :) ) Centrifuge has always been very close to my heart because it's a refresher in my walk with Christ. I always learn something new that encourages me in my daily walk with Him. These are just a couple of things that are in store for my summer. I have a few other things planned also...like class(so,fun...) and DISNEY WORLD (one of my most favorite places on the whole EARTH) and family reunions (LOVE my sweet family) and a sports/nutrition kid's camp that I get to lead at University of South Alabama next month!
     Needless to say, the Lord is opening doors everywhere (!) and it's really exciting to be at the place in my life where graduation is soon and then grad school is next...but, at the same time terrifying because I have NO clue where exactly I'm going to live, work, etc. I keep having to remind my Type A personality self that I can't control everything-and that's okay because I'm not supposed to! One of my favorite verses that seems to fit:
*Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."*
