A few thoughts...

It is Sunday night. That means I am ready to clear my head. Ready or not, here I go :)

1. Tomorrow is Veterans Day. As a school we will be honoring veterans from local retirement homes. We have done this for years and it is so special.

2. I saw my Nephews and Niece yesterday and today. Two days in a row is such a special treat.

3. Homework and studying are my life right now. I wish it could look as picturesque as this, but I make do with what I have.

4. Yesterday I played my last High School Volleyball game...ever. I cannot believe its over. Yes, I cried. It was such a bittersweet ending. Volleyball has definitely helped shape my character these past 4 years. I am so grateful I joined the team as a freshmen. I built so many lasting friendships. Ugh. Crying. Again.

5. Pastor Norm had the most amazing message today on LOVE. At the beginning of the school year, one of my goals was to really grow in loving people unconditionally. When we want to grow is something, the Lord is faithful to test us. To be honest I have failed a lot of those test recently. It has been hard to love people at times. Then this message came at such a perfect time. It was so encouraging.

6. I am excited for the future. MC's next year and hopefully Bellevue College the year after that. We will see though. I just really cannot wait to be in school for interior design.

7. Along with most people, I love this time of year. At this time we are reminded of gratefulness. It is a month in which we gather with family to celebrate God's goodness. I love that. One of the biggest things I am most grateful for is the Lord's unfailing love on our family. Both my mother and brother fought cancer. They are both survivors and testimonies of God's healing power. It is so good to reflect on how extremely good He is.

Happy November
