Blessings. See: Job 1:21

There have been many times where I have been selfish enough to say a quick prayer to God, hoping that I can have this blessing, or that blessing. Or, there are times where I expect blessings, I expect to have a good grade in a class or on a test. Through it all, I forget the simple gesture to simply get on my knees, bow my head, close my eyes, and thank God for everything that he has blessed me with recently, in the past, and in the future. I cannot believe that in just one year, I will be beginning my journey in graduate school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. It truly feels like I just started, and I am in my fourth year at good ole OSU. I feel like this semester has been one of the best and worst thus far. Worse, because I have had to experience certain situations and endure them, but the best because I have learned and I have allowed God to overflow me with mercy, grace, forgiveness and trust. Trust has been such a hard issue for me recently. God is so amazing in closing one door and opening another. Just today, I became a "foster child" in my phi lamb family due to everyone becoming inactive. Now, God has blessed me with a new family to open up to and learn everyone's story. I am so very blessed.

"poetry, my life, my song
what keeps me alive
so instead of being scared
I just take a breath and dive

right into the music
feeling each beat
making absolute sure
not one is still in their seat

so they can feel what
I am trying to sing
so they can have something more
than just a dictionary meaning

that's my dream
so what are you waiting for
tell them your story
something they've never heard before."
-"Microphone", me.
