2011

Thank you God For,
Helping me get into GVSU, and for a successful first semester.
For all of the support of my family and friends in my new endeavors.
For the promotion at work and the pay raise when I became an Optician.
For my new apartment in Allendale.
For the new friends that I have met in 2011.
For the raise in my disability.
For a car that has been reliable so far.
For my vacation and all of the fun that I had in Frankenmuth.
For my health.
For Unity this summer.
For helping me stay away from alcohol and cigarettes for another year.

There's so much gratitude in my heart this year.  It has been a good year for me, and I have faith that 2012 will be wonderful too.  My faith has grown so much this year and I know that you are always with me, ready to carry me if I get weak.  I know that there is nothing that God can not make good for me.  I am pressing forward and I know that I never want to go back to what things were like before.  Every day has a wealth of new blessings and new lessons.  I can not deny that you are with me, every step.  My new years resolution is a promise to my God that I will make my health my first priority in every area.  This year I am focused on losing weight, getting in shape.  Thank you God because I know that with your help I will realize this dream.

Christmas Approaching

Happy Holidays to all my readers!

Its been a wonderful and joyful year and I am so looking forward to Christmas and all the festivities!

I am glad to have finished my first semester at Grand Valley State University, and after all of the hard work I can say that it has paid off because it looks like I got all A's and B's this first semester.  Even in math which was a hard spot for me.. 

Now I am just going to relax and enjoy a few weeks of rest and fun before I have to start it all over again in January.  Hopefully, next year will be as successful for me as this year was.  I know that God has been working a new work in my life and making me into the person that he intended for me to be and I am so grateful for that.  I think this new year I am going to try to get into physical shape.  I am going to utilize the gym access that I have at the school and see if I can't adopt a healthier way of life.  We'll see where that takes me.  I know that WITH CHRIST ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Oh and in closing Milo and Zoey also want to say Merry Christmas!
