First Post

Almost a year ago, I had blogged for the first time.Accepting My Challenge was the best name I could think of. I was so hoping no one would read it but a ton of people did. Someone, who has changed my life in so many ways, actually posted it as her status on FaceBook. I can't even begin to tell you how embarrassed I was, and still I turn red at the thought of it.

I read it a few moments ago, and today I know what was written is so true. I knew then that it was kinda true, but now I can tell you with out a doubt that I have fallen so many times and will for the rest of my life. My church family has been there and helped me up from the worst of my falls to the happiest moments of my new life. No matter where I am, they are always by my side.

I've been learning so much about God that I'm learning about myself. Like, I have this passion for serving others, but street witnessing is not my strong point. I love teaching, but I have a hard time leading worship. Meeting new people is my thing, but teaching others that are older than I am is difficult. No matter how hard life can get, God will always help you through it.

Past this year I have made new friends, learned about God, found myself, built up relationships, switched to only Christian Music, made life choices, changed forever, and made memories that last a life time. What more could a girl want?

If I could change anything in the post I wrote a year ago, it would have only been some spelling corrections. :) Love you all,

Carissa
