As of September 27th I officially became a second year. I have always heard stories of being a second year, I have received a large amount of advice about being a second year but all of that does not add up to my personal experience. I am so excited to go through this year and see and be a part of all that God has in store for our small but mighty team! Class of 2010!

My goal this year is to draw closer to God on a deeper level than last year. To develop a friendship with my our team the new and the old. Especially miss Kaitlin. To try my hardest to be the best example I can be in situations and to stick to my covenant this year. A phrase that I repeat to myself daily almost is "I won't settle for anything less than God's best!" God has been dealing with me so much already about giving him my leftovers ...in my time, my effort, my priorities, basically in everything. And I plan to change that this year. No longer will God be something I fill in my time with but God will be what I surround my life with!

This years theme is about the kingdom and I pray that becomes the cry of my heart... God's children. I want to see through God's eyes, to touch with His hands, to listen with His ears and to love with His heart. Every morning I want to wake up and be used as His vessel any way He wants to use me. This is just a taste of the things that God has been dealing with me. My second year is going to be challenging but life changing and we’re only a few weeks in. I cannot wait for the what’s to come. It is going to be fantastic!
