New Path

Wow! It has been a little while since my last blog. Since my last post, I finished the school year, met a few frogs in Chicago, and had the most amazing trip of my life. I went to Montana. I know, most of you are probably thinking "what?" but it was the best trip of my life. I went out there to visit some friends that I met in D.C. last April and had a blast with them. They live in a valley in the beautiful mountains of Montana and I fell in love instantly. While I was there I went gopher hunting, learned to drive a four wheeler, drove up mountains and through the valley, reunited with old friends, and was reminded of the power of God. He has a purpose for everything, whether or not we realize it at the time. I never thought that I would meet such wonderful friends in D.C., but I did. And I never thought we would keep in touch for over a year. I never thought I would actually have the chance to see them again or visit them in their hometown. I never thought they would become such important parts of my life. But they have and so has this state because the mountains, people, and adventures there taught me that God has a plan for everyone and we must trust in it. Sometimes He will surprise us with beautiful gifts and experiences that we never thought would happen to us. Sometimes people come back into our lives that we never thought we would get to see again. And that gives me hope that I will see them again, that I will realize where I am supposed to be and who I am supposed to be with one day. It is ok that I don't know everything because we can't know everything. God has surprises for us, and I can't wait to be surprised again!!!
