Well, I havent exactly posted in a while, because so much has been going on!
Well, As I suspected, change definatly did happen!!
heres the story behind it all..
First of all everything that has happened in my life the last weeks, and soon to be, is all apart of Gods plan and I cant wait to see it take action!
Well, our life started changing when we began helping at Freeway Ministries. My parents got involved, dicipling, and I got involved in child care. We began going every Saturday, and soon it was put into the everyday schedule.
Another thing that changed in December was my brother, Bryson, graduated and moved out! Talk about some quick changes!
Things sort of slowed down, but then I heard something about my dad applying for a job. What? Leaving Ash Grove? Moving? No way. I had my life exactly planned out. This was definately not in the plans!
After a while, I didnt hear anything about the job, and so I sort of put all the changing on the back burner and continued my daily life at Ash Grove.
Then Spring came. More talks about job positions. Business Teacher, FBLA advisor and football coaching. (God was obviously opening some doors and was telling us it was time to leave ash grove)( I just didnt realize it at the time because I was being too stubborn)
Dad applied for a Glendale position. Oh boy, change had been taken from the back burner to the front and it was boiling! I began crying over the silliest sings because it may of been my last. But I knew that God was in control and I really started reading his word, sincerely praying, and giving him my life because I had put all my trust in him. Weeks went by, and we didnt hear anything. I was getting nervous, because I did not want to go to Glendale! Later that week, they posted the job, and my dad never got an interview.
So I thought, good. All that nonsense is over with..
Later that week, a hillcrest job had come up. Now I knew some people that went to hillcrest, and that location was close to church, so I was a little more open about it. (This is when I began to accept that change was going to come and I started my blog Im letting Go that talked about change) I was still upset because I knew somehow or another I would be leaving my friends, but especially my best friend Katelyn. Dad then recieved a phone call from a football coach, things started to get a little more serious and hopeful that he would get the job.
Coach Beckham assured him that he would get an interview. Sure enough, he got one! My mom and I began looking at houses, just in case. I was getting a little excited about the fact that Hillcrest may be my high school. But dont get me wrong, I was still mega upset about the thought of leaving my school and Cheer friends.
Dad nailed the interview. We would know by Monday!
(By the way, this was like a month long process! I am not a very patient person! God definately made me learn patience!!!)
The weekend was choir state, and I knew that would be my last choir state at Ash Grove.
The weekend flew by, and Monday was the day I was going to find out.
I was the biggest ball of emotions. Happy. Sad. Mad. Confused. Angry. Nervous. You name it.
I came into his room during the day, and found out that he had gotten the job!
That day was the worst. I cried all day at school! I was super emotional, because I knew for sure that my life would be changing and I would never graduate with my best friend.
My plans obviously werent what God planned for me, otherwise I'd still be at Ash Grove!
Through all of this, I know that God really does care about me, and he has a plan fit perfectly for my life.
Im excited to see what God is going to do in my life as I leave Ash Grove and go to hillcrest after the summer!
So thats my story! I know that one day I will look back and see why God is doing what he's doing, but right now its so hard. Its hard leaving friends and cheer and what I know as normal!!
Please be praying for my family as we make this transition, and that we can sell our house!
thanks for reading!
Stay tuned to see what god does!!
XOXO
