A New Chapter!

It has been forever since I've posted anything on this blog! Time has just gotten away from me. In the past year, I have had a lot of things happen and have had so many changes in my life. During this summer I had thought a lot about what I should do for my last year in high school as a senior; and coming to Dakota Adventist Academy (DAA), was one of the things I was thinking strongly about. But with having been home schooled all my life and never actually attending an academy, I was scared about the outcome if I did decide to go, and I was terrified that I wouldn't like it! My mother told me that if I wanted to go that I should pray about it, and ask God to lead me and to let me know what HE wanted me to do. So after stressing and praying for weeks about it, I finally felt like God wanted me to go to DAA. But even though I felt like I should go, I wondered how on earth my parents would even pay for me to attend considering the payments on our house out in the country, the bills, and my sister's wedding coming up. But I felt sure that if God wanted me to go that bad, that He would open a door for me and make it possible. And sure enough He did! A gentleman called and said he was willing to pay for my entire year's tuition at the academy. I was in shock, and felt both like crying and dancing at the same time! I had heard about miracles and stories about people being so generous with other students, but never would I have thought that this miracle would have happened in my life! Even though I was terrified about all the new changes and coming to such a different place for a year without living with family, I knew that my fear was natural and that God would make this year amazing for me!! :) A new chapter has begun, and I am learning to embrace every moment that comes my way!
