Happy Holidays

Lest I not forget....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Winter is without a doubt my favorite season and this time of year is most certainly the best time of the year. I love everything about the Christmas season from food, family, friends, cheesy Christmas movies...it is simply the MOST wonderful time of the year. Most importantly though Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth, an assurance that God still loves his people. I always become reflective and with the celebration of birth and life am always grateful for my family and the journeys that each of us has taken to reach this point. More and more I find myself excited for my nephews because commercial Christmas is most certainly for children.I love the child like innocence and for me it's a time to see the good in humanity. Despite how we might treat each other throughout the year everyone seems to get a little nicer in December, everyone seems more compassionate. I wish these were qualities that we could focus on 365 days of the year but it's always nice to know that they still exist. Still am not sure what I'll be doing for NYE and that's okay....right now I'm just enjoying TODAY.

Merry Christmas
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Whatever you say just make this season the best season of your life....

The Wait....

It's been quite a while since I've had free time to blog, I seriously forgot how busy SENIOR year can be. It's really a bittersweet time as I'm quickly realizing that my time at UNC is coming to a close. As I reflect back over my seven semesters and prepare for my eighth, I could not have asked for a better college experience. I remember not even wanting to attend UNC not I can't imagine living. It's amazing how so much of my life is connected to a small town. Enough of the sentiments though I have an entire semester left for that.
Well I'm in the process of applying to law school and am quickly realizing I hate the waiting game. I'm waiting on my LSAT scores back(sends up prayer), I'm waiting on one of my professors to finish my recommendation, and am general I'm just WAITING. I've never really experienced this before, I was definitely confident when applying to undergrad and really had no concerns. However this law school process is definitely more harrowing, I'm not sure if it's because this is something that will impact the rest of my life or because how impassioned I am about studying law. Whatever the case the WAITING is really getting to me. I've began to question my abilities and qualifications and right now that is NO BUENO.
So I'm trying to remain positive, realize that I put my heart into my applications which is all I can do, and not worry about the things I can't control. So for all of you that are stuck in the wait- for anytime of professional school, or just in life. Stay encouraged! Trust and believe and it will surely come to fruition. Quickly reminded of Matthews 6: 25-34, so I'm laying it at the alter and letting it all go.
