every now and then, you need a fresh start.

Here is mine.

If you have previously checked out my blog, you have probably noticed that I have deleted all of my previous posts. Well, I have no other excuse than to say I just wanted something new -- I want to take this in another direction.

If you have never heard of this blog or me, for that matter, I really hope you'll stick around to see what comes of this little blog of mine and what God does with my life.

Disclaimer: I must warn you that I will ramble and ramble, but I will (almost) always come back to the point of the post. 

So, like I said, here is my fresh start! God has really been putting it on my heart to just write my feelings, thoughts, goals, what have you, down lately, and I could not be more excited to do that here. Throughout the past year, I have gone through many changes, and I finally feel like I'm becoming my own person again. (HALLELUJAH!)

Background info, you say?? Well, here we go: I started cosmetology school on a whim in August of 2011. Actually, to say it was a "whim" would be lying... I started because I truly felt the Lord calling me to go. Since it had always interested me, I thought 'Why not? He's leading me to something I always wondered about, so it will definitely work out.' Boy, was I wrong! Not about God in that whole situation but about cosmetology being a "perfect" fit for me. (I seriously think God was telling me to be patient, to wait for what He actually wanted -- what I wanted would never amount to what He has in store.) Since school was a bust, I decided to forgo being a hair stylist and go back to TTU, where I had previously attended for two years. To say I am a lost puppy when it comes to schooling would not be far-fetched... I felt hopeless switching back and forth between majors those first two years, so I genuinely thought college had nothing left to offer me; however, I am proud to say that Summer '12 I began taking HEC Housing and Design classes, and I am so hook there's no chance of me stopping (God totally knew this would happen!!) SO, while taking summer classes, Brandon and I got married. (Yes, I am a loon.) And the rest is history, I have been trying to find a balance between wife, student, friend, even Christian.

So, there you have it. You are witnessing me being just me -- finally. I am Whitney : a 21 year-old girl woman who loves baking, crafting, singing, dancing, and drinking coffee, who also happens to be a wife, student, daughter, and friend.

Hope you stick around! :)
