Heyyyyy Blog,
It has been a sec! So sorry for my absence in December, but I am backđź¤!
When reflecting on January, the first word that comes to mind is joyful! January has been full of so many fun celebrations🎉: two of my closest friends getting engaged (shoutout Grace and Emma) and SO MANY BDAYS, including my own. I am not a huge lover of my own birthday. I LOVE other people’s bday’s, but don’t love the attention to be on me, however, I truly felt so loved on and around my birthday. Some of my college friends celebrated me with Crumbl, games, and a sleepover, the Fellows and I got dinner and went to ParTee Shack (a super fun putt-putt place), my host family made me breakfast and did a birthday dinner in which they decorated and all shared an affirmation about me, and then I was able to eat dinner with my family. Like seriously, I felt so loved, seen, and celebrated and really felt an immense amount of jubilance and gratefulness in where the Lord has me and the people he has surrounded me with🥰! Like seriously, my heart is so full.
This past month has been jam-packed with sweet, quality time with people I love as well as a lot of moments of growth for myself and recognition as well as gratefulness for God’s sovereignty. In January I started going to therapy to process things I had wanted to for a while and to work towards a healthier version of myself. I also had two grad school interviews for occupational therapy and was accepted into one program, whoop whoop🤩!!!! When reflecting on God’s plan for my life and the doors he closed last year so that I could go through Fellows and experience all that He had for me and then open up those doors this year has really been a beautiful thing. Last year I was pretty bummed when I didn’t get into those schools, but now I couldn’t be more grateful because of all that I have been able to do and learn this year. God didn’t say no, he just said not yet and when I was not 100% about where I wanted to be next year, the Lord made it abundantly clear through personality/gifts assessments that we have done, as well as through affirmations from the Fellows and other people who know me well.
Lastly, we went on the John Richmond retreat which was so jazzy and was truly one of my favorite yet and was not only fun with the Trinity Fellows and the extra people, as my extrovertedness was thriving, but I found the content to be extremely insightful. Not to spoil for those who have not attended, but we talked about 10 rules to live a meaningful life as well as spousal selection with which I both gleaned a lot from👏🏼.
January was a blast!
Peace and Love,
Girl Hunter 💕🤠✨🪩
