memories

So lately I have been thinking about Costa Rica and the few kids from our youth group that went. I came to the realization that I miss them a lot. And then it got me thinking about how I miss a lot of people. I really don't like how time goes by so fast, people move on with their own lives, and close friends become faint memories. It's really, really sad to even think about. I know that it's all just part of life, but it really stinks. Although it stinks a lot, it has taught me to keep friends close and the number of friends you have isn't what matters, it's the quality of current friendships that matters most. So I want to say thanks to the few friends that have stuck by my side no matter what and thank you to those who have moved on to different parts in their life, you meant more to me than you probably can imagine.

I've also been thinking lately about what I am going to do with my life. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to let my dreams die. I want to become either a pediatric nurse or a pediatrician. I love kids so much and would love to spend my life helping them. Also since I want to do mission work the fact that I would have a medical degree would mean it would be much easier to get into many countries than if I didn't. Please be praying that God would show me for sure what He wants me to do with this life that He has given me.

As far as the Thailand trip goes, I'm slowly preparing. A few more people have joined the trip and I'm super excited! I can't wait to meet them all. I know God is going to use us in ways we can't imagine. Please continue to pray for me as I prepare for this trip, spiritually and financially. Pray for the rest of the team as well, I love them all so much already!! <3
