I'm a Blogger

I'm excited about becoming a blogger! My intentions are not to have a ton of people who follow my blog, and it probably will not contain deeply insightful thoughts or beliefs. Hopefully it won't be completely boring either. This blog is intended for me to document my year. It's going to be a busy year, but I think it is going to be a life-changing one as well.

I just celebrated my 25th birthday and it made me realize how fast time goes by! I am not at all where I thought I would be at 25, but I am exponentially happier than I could have ever imagined. I have a great group of friends, family, church and, most importantly, a great God! I trust that I am exactly where God wants me to be right now and what more can I ask for?!? Over the next year I will finish classes and a student teaching to earn my master's degree in elementary education from UAB. God has called me to education and I am so excited about how and where He is going to use me once I graduate.

Recently I decided I was going to start living life...really living! I was tired of just trying to get things done in order to get through the day. That's not much fun. Which is why I titled by blog "A Life With Purpose". Also, below the title you will notice one of my favorite sayings that reads, "How we live our days is how we live our lives." How true is that!?! Those simple words make me look at life differently. I want to start living each day with purpose and direction; to make a difference for His kingdom. Isn't that what really matters?

I hope you enjoy reading this blog. I will try to update it regularly, but I can't make any promises. You see, since I decided to start "living," I got this condition called FOMO. It's an acronym my friends introduced me to that means "Fear of missing out." So, I'll try to be diligent in my blogging, but I can't miss out on all the fun! ;)
