| So lately, I have found myself acting more motherly in the little areas of my life. I find myself looking out for my friends, taking care of them when they're sick, or instructing them to get rest when they feel sickness coming on them. Not that I haven't always cared about my friends, but the things I do and say have lately resembled that of a mother. I feel older.
When I think about what I want to do with my life, the only thing I have set in stone is being a mother. I want to be the kind of mom I was raised by. My mom is such a beautiful woman and has been the best mother anyone could ask for. She is strong, full of life, and is the kind of woman I pray I become. She inspires me to love people and develop patience and passion. When I think of what I hope to be when I grow up, I want to be like my mom. If I can be half the mother she has been to me, I will feel like I have accomplished something.
Lately i have realized I am growing up. Marriage approaches the older we get and a life of responsibility is just around the corner. I pray I will be a Proverbs 31 woman, that I will become the woman of God I have seen throughout these almost 19 years of my life.
I will live my life with passion, and if I meet my own expectations, I will become the kind of woman and mother I have been raised by.
Now there's an aspiration.

| come to those who wait.
I've found this to be so true.
The more I exercise patience, the more it is worth it in the end.
:]
One month has come and gone.
It's been one of the best months of my life.
I look forward to everything ahead.
...including the Superbowl.
Life is busy, but fantastic.
My friends are crazy, but beautiful.
And I am weird, but only in a good way.
