Reasons

I've had it on my heart recently to share my journey and random thoughts through a blog. God has tremendously blessed me in this life and as I approach the "real world" (cue the doomsday music) I find I continue to realize how much He has provided for me and kept me from over the past four years.

Let's start with a little bit about me:
Rewind back 4 years. I am a senior in high school. A student in the magnet program at Kennesaw Mountain with high hopes and big dreams of going to University of Georgia and following in my sister's footsteps of being a bulldawg. Well, God had other plans for me. My world was rocked when I received that rejection letter. I will never forget that day. But, that's what I get for thinking I knew God's plan for my life right? After putting all my eggs into a red and black basket, only for it to topple over I suddenly found myself without a plan. The easiest option for me at the time was to resort to attending KSU and living at home until I could transfer. In the fall of 2010, I began my journey at Kennesaw as an owl.

And here I am. Four years later. Graduating in less than 200 days with a degree in business management with a minor in marketing. I never transferred. I fell completely in love with Kennesaw and I remain true to the owls. The last four years have been a roller coaster of events and emotions with friends, family, work, and school, but the fact is I wouldn't trade it for anything. I was meant to stay home for college. God kept me at Kennesaw for a reason, and He shows me that through all the little things in life.

That is why I want to write this blog. If you know me, you know I am a HUGE proponent of how much the little things count in my day to day. Little things like a phone call from a friend, a text saying "I'm praying for you", someone holding the door open, or even just finding a good parking space in the parking deck. All these little things can add up to big things. The little things are what keep me going and allow me to see God in my life every day. So, I hope you will enjoy reading about the little things God does for me on a daily basis. Now, I may not write every day due to having a full load of classes, working with intramural sports and being involved at my church....but I'm going to do my best to make sure I give God the glory as much as possible.
