Five Minute Fridays: Five Years Ago

Hosted by: The Gypsy Mama

Time sure does fly by when you're having fun and when serving the Lord. Its hard to remember what happened five year ago. It seems more like ten years ago to me. Where do I begin? Five years ago I was finishing up my last year of college! I was in that  mode of "what in the world am I going to do with my life?" I knew I was going to finish college In December 2006...I was NOT ready to enter the "real world." I still wanted to be that innocent little girl with my hair flying behind me, jumping on the trampoline, running barefoot down the street and through the grass (which I still do), and drink from the waterhose. 2006 was a year of changes....BIG changes. In 2006, dad graduated from Bible college with his doctrite degree, my dear friends graduated from college with their degrees, my friend Holly was married, and I was going into my last semester at BJU. THe was one grueling semester full of unepexted events (but also excitement). I was "old enough" for the dorms where you didn't have a bedtime and had one roommate. I prayed all summer for a roommate that I could minster to her and be a friend....my mind was more on I can help someone from another country.
The Lord had other plans. I had a roommate with a disability! Oh my what a semester that was! I sure did learn alot about myself and how selfish I was. I learned alot about prayer to get through my last months of college....Then December 2006 the BIG DAY came! I walked up on the stage at BJU and sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" with the entire campus and the other graduating December seniors! I packed up my car to move back home to my parent's house....I began working at my alma mater as a teacher's aide, substitute teacher, etc.....and the rest is history!

Oh and in May 2007 I walked down the the FMA aisle at BJU in my regalia and received my diploma case (and later my diploma), shook the presidents hand, received my "hood", and was hooded as a college graduate!
