They Say..."She Is Unashamed."

I feel terrible for doing so but I was stuck in a rut for awhile and got away from a lot things. Here's a post that probably won't make sense to some.. But just know I'm ready to get back on my feet. ***And please, don't take this post as if I'm trying to boast or anything like that.

In order to fulfill this purpose, the number of students admitted to each field of study should be pre-set, as in Sweden, so that no more people are trained than will be needed to fill the estimated number of openings in each profession.” After the essay..

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving with the ones you love :) A few things I'm thankful for: *I'm soo extremely thankful for being raised in the church and for my Pastor and his wife!!!! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't come to be under my Pastor. I'm so grateful!!! I've been placed under a praying man of God who loves his church. I know he prays for me and keeps me safe. *I'm thankful for my youth leaders Bro Jeffrey Rowell and Bro Chris Brill! They are some great leaders who have a burden for our youth group. They are there to guide us and correct us if needed. They also know how to have fun!! I'm thankful I don't have boring youth pastors!!!!!!! ;) *Thankful for my family and best friends :) Daddy and Mom, Papaw and Mamaw, my uncles and aunts, my cousins as all my 2nd cousins etc etc ;) lol if I named all the family I would take too long. I'm thankful for my best friends that I've made all over the count...
