Prom 2014

                 So to fully understand my prom experience, you first have to understand that there is under 20 kids in my whole high school. It is teeny tiny, so we do not really have anything like prom. I just kind of figured that I would never go to an actual prom. This year however, one of my friends from work asked me if I could go to her prom with her as friends. It is my senior year so I figured that my whole "high-school" experience would not be complete until I went to prom. So I said yes to her and before I knew it, prom day was here already. I had no clue what to expect, and if you know me at all, you know that I can tend to be more quiet and reserved. So I was nervous about going with a group of people that I had never met before.
                 My fears turned out to be nothing, and the whole group was really fun! I had the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and make new friends. Everyone was really nice to me and the whole night was just awesome. I'm very thankful that my friend from work asked me to go. I say all this because this is a testimony to how much God has changed me in my four years of high-school. Four years ago, I never would have wanted to go to an event like prom, because meeting new people always scared me. I'm still quiet, and I always will be. That is just who I am. However, I am no longer afraid to meet new people and start conversations. I love how when we rely on God, He is faithful and just, and will continue molding us into the people that He wants you and me to become. I am very far from perfect, and I still make more mistakes than I should. But I am learning and will keep learning my whole life.
                When I got home from prom, I was really tired. But before I went to bed I laid in my bed and thanked God for putting amazing people in my group. As I look back on it, I should have never worried in the first place. God always has us right where He wants us. He sets us up for success, not failure. If you did not get anything from this post, please remember that^^^
               So here is my challenge for you. Think of the biggest worry in your life right now. It may seem big and bad right now, but if you hand it over to God, He will take care of it. Easier said than done I know, but if it was easy, it would not be a challenge!!!
God Bless,
