They say its impossible....


But I say different!


SO! Here it is. The blog Ive been wanting to start for a long time but didn't know what to

write about, what to name it, how to make it interesting, etc etc.! But Ive FINALLY got it! So what is it about you ask? WELL! Over-all, my journey in this thing called life. Things I've learned in the world, from the Lord, from important people in my life, places I want to go, places Ive been and so on and so forth. Basically, I'm journaling and giving you the low low on ME! Life these days are super interesting for me so I thought some of you might enjoy hearing about it and HOPEFULLY learning something along the way as well. So ill try my best to update it as often as possible. Share it with your friends, family, acquaintances and who ever else you might think would enjoy it.


I want to start off by saying, ALL things are possible. This is what I want to live by. " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".- Philippians 4:13


This is my story. My "impossible" story, or at least that's what they told me. The story that, according to "society", says I would never make it "out there". For all the critics. All the ones that should have been there and weren't, I did it and I AM doing it because it IS possible! For all those who didn't HAVE to be there and were. The ones that are currently there, pushing me, helping me to succeed, you were right! I did it and AM doing it! Thank you!


For all of you who think its impossible for you. For those who think all odds are against you. Your WRONG. That's whats making it all the more possible. Those things are whats going to make your success story that much better. Its what going to make you shine in this dark world. So stand strong and make those weaknesses, that lack of hope, the nay-Sayers and all the other reasons people say you cant do... make THOSE the things that push you to make it!


Here's my life in short. VERY short. I was PRACTICALLY forced to move out of my home when I was 16. Id been pretty independent since I was 15. Working and going to school full time. Having every reason to fail. With my parents getting divorced and not being a huge part of my life, I AM succeeding. I graduated from high school. Went off to college at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, NC. Came back home to Jacksonville after a year of being away and started working full time IMMEDIATELY. Ive been working full time ever since. Prior to the summer of 2009 I had the opportunity to go on SERVERAL local mission trips leading up to the ULTIMATE trip that summer. A dream come true. The IMPOSSIBLE turned out to be oh so possible. I went to Uganda AFRICA for one month! That experience in it self is a book I need to write!! My life changed for ever. Immedietly after that I had the opportunity to co-lead a mission trip to Costa Rica for a long weekend! Again, another life changing experiance. All in all my life has been a giant, scarey rollercoaster. The turns,drops and loops have come out of no where some times but all of them are ending up to be a pretty sweet ride!


Welcome to my life! :)
