Unashamed because of Mercy

First, I'd like to say thank you to those of you who have read my blog over this past year and stuck around in my dormant periods. My journey has changed dramatically since I started this blog. I have graduated high school and gone to college; my life has never been more unpredictable, but it has truly been one of the best years of my young life. 

College has taught me so many things that I never knew about myself. Like, the longest I can be away from my family is about a month. I never would have imagined that I would love Bryan so much. This school is truly amazing and God is doing a great work on our campus. In my first year there, I have met people I know will be in my life for a long time and I have grown in my faith and walk with Christ. I feel confident enough to share my faith with you who read this blog and with my closest friends. God has given me countless opportunities to learn and grow and for that I am amazed and overwhelmed. There is not a day that I don't see the hand of God moving in my life and the lives of people I love. 

"I hear the sound of Your Voice
All at once it's a gentle and thundering noise oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming"
Overwhelmed - Big Daddy Weave

This song is how it feels to be surrounded by people who are seeking God's plans in their lives. That song is the song of my last year. I have been down and felt unworthy to sing in chapel. I have also felt right at home in the midst of worship. Through all those times, good and bad, God has been there, holding my hand. He never wavers. 

With all this said, I want this blog to look a little different. I want not only  to continue with fashion, but I want this to be a place of encouragement. I want you to feel loved and uplifted. I want to create a place where we can share our struggles and give encouragement to others as well. My prayer is that I can help those of you who are believers and together we can lead the lost to the Lord. I also want to urge you all to read a blog by my dear cousin Anna (https://uncatching.wordpress.com/). She is a kind soul and very brave and she has been a huge encouragement to me through her blog and her story. Anna, if you read this, I am truly thankful for everything you are doing. I'm glad you have shared so much with me and I love you dearly. 

I want to thank you all for your support and I hope to see you again real soon.
