twenty-ten

Happy New Year everyone!

I am so thankful 2009 is now a thing of the past. Although I had many great things take place last year, there were also experiences and moments that I would not want to repeat! God has been so incredibly merciful and has kept His hand on me time and time again. New opportunities have arrived to serve more in His kingdom at my church... and I am looking at a bright future ahead in the music department. I am aspiring to let prayer lead and guide my life at greater levels in twenty-ten. With God, possibilities are endless.

I am starting my seventh class at Hope International University tomorrow and I am hoping to be finished with my college career by the end of this year. It has been an eight year journey that I am looking forward to closing! :)

I pray blessings on each of you who read this and hope your 2010 is one of growth in Christ. Stay tuned for further updates (hopefully not several months from now). =)

It's been awhile...

Well hello everyone! It's been forever since I've 'blogged'. Life has been on the fast pace since about 5 weeks ago when I started my first online class through Hope International University. I am enjoying the online world but it is definitely a whirlwind trying to keep up with the accelerating assignments. I hope the next 18 months FLY by and then I'll be walking away with a much sought after Bachelor's degree! (FINALLY!)

Living on my own has still been wonderful, even if at times it's really quiet! That atmosphere aids in my study habits tremendously and I am still thankful I moved when I did. The opportunity has been great and I know I've learned a lot about keeping a home and responsibility. Keeping track of all the bills and making sure everything gets paid has been somewhat of a challenge, but I'm doing alright so far! God has sufficiently provided for me each time when it gets down to the end of the month when things are tight!! :)

Looking forward to a choir tour this summer with the first time ever So Cal Youth Choir. This will be in late July. Very disappointed I couldn't participate in the WAY choir again, but I know they will have an amazing tour and move of the Spirit regardless!!

Stay tuned for further updates and pictures throughout the summer!
