who do you think you are running round leaving scars. you're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.
you can't regret something you never try.
you can't go back and change time.
you can't hold back, you have to let go.
the best decision i have made in my college career is being honest with myself & others.
i haven't let someone take me for granted.
i haven't let someone not know how i feel.
i haven't let someone walk away without them knowing i love them.
i haven't made a decision without thinking about myself first.
i decided that my life is mine. it isn't about anyone else. it's about me.
god has a plan for me, and with him being there helping me make decisions i've had a
better time in college. i make good grades, i've made better friends, i've told someone
how i truly feel for them, and i couldn't be happier.
life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
i was waiting for a rainbow in the middle of a tornado. but waiting does nothing.
doing does something. and i did something. and now, i can see what i was missing out on.
i've discovered new plans for my life. new potential. new places. it's all around just honesty.
be honest with yourself. it will give you the best perspective YOU need.
be honest with others. no one realizes how much the truth means. it's a beautiful thing.
thank you god for everything you have given me and thank you for holding my hand when i felt so scared.
thank you for showing me where i should be. thank you for being in my heart. thank you for my life.
bring it, life.
Honestly, could not be any prouder of you! You have handled all that came against you with such grace and dignity. As I was praying for you today, I thanked the Lord for all HE has brought you through over these last 4 months. I know the last thing in a million years we would be thankful for or even ask to go through, would be what you have just experienced. But going through these difficult times allows us to go deeper with Christ, to see HIM in a whole new way. To rely on HIM, trusting HIM with all that we are and all this is to come. I am sooo thrilled about your future Jenna! It is going to be amazing!!

doing does something.
wow. so happy for you and also inspired by your words. i want to live like that too!
There have been many times over the past few months that I would have wished for a magic wand to take away the hurt & disappointment that you have felt. We parents & grandparents never, ever want our children to have cloudy days, but we all know these days will come. Reading this blog I now see that your sweet, loving heart listened to God's whispers telling you how to get through these times. You, my precious granddaughter, are an inspiration. I love you.
