Those periods of your life that grow you, shape you and effect the way you look at life often are noticed after the fact.
I just had one of those moments, well a series of moments.
This summer changed me.
The way I think about prayer, and life and about trust.
Earlier this year I began to shift my prayer life, taking God out of the small, well kept box I placed him and allowed Him to be big, powerful and real in my life.
I came to God with requests, fears and praises, and watched him reveal just how good He truly is. God has provided a dream job in my future, blessed friendships and fun memories,
My job as a front desk agent taught me to stand up for myself, gave me a backbone.
I learned how to not take rude remarks personally, and I learned to have enough confidence to stand up for myself and solve the issue on my own.
I moved into an apartment with just one roommate, my best friend Bri. The idea of a quiet house was a joke that last two years and now peacefulness overflows from those small walls.
I spent a week in Arizona at Lost Canyon with 12 of the most incredible girls. We cried, laughed and grew in countless ways. God taught me so much through those girls.
I let down some serious walls that I had hid behind for many years. Finally letting myself trust others fully and be vulnerable with how I feel.
I never would have guessed back in May that God would use the most ordinary summer to develope me in such huge ways, but I am thankful that my God is extraordinary enough to use monotony to change my life.
