Learning to fully EMBRACE!

I have a thing about writing blogs on Sunday, maybe it's because that's where I get my battery fully charged for the week! God is so good and never ceases to amaze me. This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions, paper work, phone calls, etc. However, late Saturday evening I finally received an email that helped settle some of my nerves. I won't lie waiting to get acceptance letters is kind of nerve racking but at the same time I'm resting in Gods peace!

So where to begin...I must say that I am at an odd phase in life, living with everything "up in the air", I believe it's in these days that God carves a little on our character and sharpens our Faith. Faith is truly my foundation right now. For those who don't know I have graduated with my Bachelors Degree from Arkansas Tech University I finished in May. In June, life made a sharp turn and through out a curve ball I was not expecting, but I am making the most out of it. I decided to pursue God given dreams and visions. The first step being applying for graduate school. Next step being pick a major, now when I was a...
