97/365

I have a purpose.



I was put here for a reason.



When I was little I couldn't wait to discover it...



Perhaps it was to be an Olympic swimmer



A professional baseball star...



Or maybe even a princess...



But somewhere down the road I stopped looking for it...



And decided to be whatever people wanted me to be...

Missionary...



Girlfriend...



Daughter...



I have come a long way. I no longer aspire to be the perfect friend, girlfriend, daughter, person.

And I'm ready again...I'm ready to dream, to search, to find the reason God placed me here. I am ready to fulfill that purpose.

Reconnecting with the past....

Today I got to hangout with my childhood best friend. I got to show her my puppies, my room, tell her stories, and give her a look into my life. The funny thing is...we're still the same as we were in first grade, second grade, and all the way up to sixth. I'm loud, she's not as loud. She's short, I'm not as short. I laughed hysterically with her. Something I don't find myself doing easily as I've gotten older. We were able to sit down on my bed and just talk. Talk like we hadn't been out of touch for over a year. I think that's something so great about the friends you make as a child. They're the friends that you may never talk to and yet will always understand you.
