With only 3 more days left of 2010, I'm ready for a new beginning, starting with this blog. Life has thrown all kinds of things at me from the expected to the out of nowhere, but I'm ok with that, or at least I'm learning to be.I mean hey, this life is my own personal testimony. So that's what I want this to be, my testimony, and I hope it brings God all the glory.
Let's start with the basics, shall we? : I'm April. I'm a freshman in college at Campbellsville University, 18 years old, living at home. My dad is in prison and currently a 10 hour drive from here, so I haven't seen him in a few years. When he went to jail I became severely depressed and suicidal. I'm still struggling with some on and off again depression but it's a million times better than it used to be. My mom is having a baby, and it's going to be wierd having another brother and being 19 years apart. I have the most amazing friends anyone could ever ask for. I've got my best friends in two categories: my school best friends, and my church best friends. They are all the greatest though. I go to Freedom Baptist Church, where I spend a lot of my time. That's my happy place. I highly recommend a happy place. Sometimes I go there when no one is there and just sit in the parking lot, or sit at the doors and just pray. It's the closest to God I can get, so that's where I go when I need answers, when I just want to talk, when I'm excited, and when I'm so unbelievably broken.
I'm currently just waiting on love, impatiently. But that's fine by me. I've figured out that before I can let someone be a part of my life, I have to make my life. I'm becoming who I want to be, who God made me. So, to bring in the new year, here's to starting my life, to start becoming the woman that God made me to be, and focusing my life on Him and nothing else....
