God Knew What He Was Doing!!

Wait what am I talking about...He always does. If you know me well then you've heard me say "God knew what He was doing when He made me a GIRL!" There is nothing that makes me more happy than embracing all the girly-ness that life can bring. I see somethings pink and I want it simply because it's pink or cute. I might have no use for it but I like knowing that I have it. I love putting on a dress simply because I am a girl and it makes me feel girly. I was putting on my make-up this morning, which is something I also love doing. I don't always like waking up to get ready, but when I am awake, getting ready is something I also embrace. It's that time before the day even starts that my mind starts racing and my type A personality comes out. I plan everything I have to do for the day and try to squeeze in the things that need to get done that I've pushed off. But this morning I was taken back when I felt an overwhelming sense of emotion. Something else neat about a girl is the need for friendship. Not the kind that you catch up with every once in a while but that friend you can count on. The one that sits and talks with you for hours, sometimes about nothing, but other times about life and all it throws at you. I have a best friend but this person isn't a girl. It's Nic, my boyfriend, as much as I love to share my life with him all you other girls know it's never the same as having a close girl friend.

This is my third summer in the beautiful Sunshine State and I thought after my first summer here I could make it through any summer. It was a lot of change that I wasn't exactly prepared for. God rocked my world that summer. So after being here the last two summers in a row logically I didn't think other wise when it came to the decision to stay here this summer. I don't regret my decision but I miss not having a really close girl friend here with me. You see, I left my best friend back in my home state of North Carolina. Even though we are still as close today as we were in high school it's not the same. I can't hug her, laugh with her, or cry with her. I can't shop with her or do all the fun things that girls do. I was reminded how much God wants to have that spot in my life. He makes an incredible friend and I wouldn't be a girl without him. These simple reminders that sometimes take me back are the little things I hold near and dear to my heart. I know that God is doing something really neat in me this summer and I am buckled up and ready for the ride!!
