What does this year of 2014 look like for me? it is a year of change, a year of finding God's beauty in everyday life, appreciating what i have at every moment, growing in myself and my God, helping others, being a light for others, having new experiences, letting God shine through me.
every time at new years people make "resolutions". majority of the time these resolutions get forgotten about within weeks or months. for me i just want to give this year to God and really try to let go and remember He has plans for me and I just have to listen. God has called me on this earth for a reason and i want to be in awe of Him everyday.
i am not going to lie though that this year is going to be filled with worries, unknowns, and changes. i will be graduating from APU in May this year which is such an exciting but scary event. i must say that i am also proud of myself. for being a person with a disability so many individuals think there is not that great of a future for us. and to sit here and say i am going to be graduating college this year now that is quite an accomplishment. i defied the odds, fought for my rights, and am getting what i deserve. that part is all so exciting but the scary part is what happens after college. your whole life so far has been going to school but what happens when being a student is no longer your identity and you enter the working field. this is the part that i have to put aside for right now and put my trust in God that everything will work out.
however, i am also excited to put what i have learned all this time into practice. i cannot wait to work alongside fellow individuals who are like me and teach, encourage, support, motivate them to be a special part of this society. one thing i have learned in my life is how badly disabled people are treated. i have seen many that are either babied or neglected. disabled individuals have just as much gifts as anybody else and they need people to recognize their amazing gifts and give them the potential they deserve. God calls us to love everyone for every person is a child of God and He did not make any mistake in any person. for that is what I want to remember always.
i cannot wait to see what adventures God takes me through this year and how much He will blow my expectations away!
Think about this:
"if we all resolve to shine a little brighter, in 2014 we will light up the world! Happy New Year!! <3
