Somedays  I just have to take one giant step backwards to take in all that God has done for me. Today was certainly one of those days. I often doubt God's plan when life isn't going my way, but every single time he provides what ultimately is best. Sometimes His plan isn't exactly what I was hoping for, but without a doubt His plan has made me a stronger person. I'm easily stressed, I'm pretty emotional, and I'm a worry wort. I don't know why I let my emotions get the best of me sometimes, but God always knocks me off my feet. It's times like these that in return I just feel silly.

On another note this morning I got a text from my dad that read, "I'm going to miss you when you go back to school. I love you". Tears literally filled my eyes when I read this simple message. Only 3 weeks until I go back to Knoxville, where in the world has summer gone? It's bittersweet.
