This picture was taken a little less than a year ago, in May of 2010. I look at that picture of myself and I was so happy and confident and optimistic towards the future. For a long time I couldn't look at pictures like this, of myself last summer without thinking what a stupid girl I was. So naive, so trusting.
Now I see the change that has occurred. I wouldn't wish my fall semester on my worst enemy, it was so hard. Physically as well as emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Looking back, I see how I was strengthened. I see the people the Lord put in my life to help and lift me. I can't count the number of spiritual confirmations I had that I was a child of God, that I had worth. I have come out with more empathy.
Besides that I have a stronger idea of the direction I want to pursue in my life. I know a little clearer who I am and what I am supposed to come.
So this is me today (or a few months ago) I am tired, I am not as naive as I once was, but I am happy. I am happy with where my life is. I'm happy with the choices I have made, and I am optimistic towards the future.
