My first Post

This is my first post!! I am very excited to start keeping an online diary. I think that it will help me in dealing with everything that is happening in my life. Right now I am preparing to spend 6 months without my lover and best-friend. He is first going to his home in Portland Oregon for a month and is then going to study abroad in Ghana for a while. I am so sad that he is going, but at the same time I know that what he is doing is very important. Going to Ghana will help strengthen him in so many ways. He will have the chance to see where his ancestors came from, and immerse himself in a culture that he is unfamiliar with. This trip will help him to furthur understand his history, appreciate his present, and give more purpose for his future. This will be a great trip for him, and although I will be very very sad, I will be very happy that my love will have this wonderful oppurtunity.

So yeah, thats the biggest thing right now. The other things tend to take care of themselves as long as I keep God first in my life.

The other things that will be happening in my life is; doing exceedingly well in classes this semester that is starting in a week, traveling to Spain in the summer, taking GRE's for Grad school, applying for Grad school and hopefully getting this job that I have wanted ever since freshman year of college, spending more time at home with my family - particularly my Mom and Dad, and remaining healthy.

This semester I am taking two of my hardest classes. So imma need to be soo focused!! My boyfriend in the midest of everything some how convinced me to go to Spain for the summer. Well, firstly it has always been my dream to learn to speak Spanish fluently so logically, traveling to a Spanish speaking place would seem like a great step. Yeah, I got that, but um...yeah I'm just a little scared of traveling by myself to another country. You know specially since I have never been to anothe country. So yeah, thats my issue with that. I mean the good side to this, besides me learning Spanish of course and being in another country other than the States is that I will get to travel with my lover in Spain for some time. I will be in Spain for two summer semesters and he will come join me in Spain from Ghana for one of those semesters. So in a nut shell...it will be fantastico!!

Now on the matter of graduating college, I am so a happy that my time in undergrad it almost over. I already have a great job waiting for me, all I need to do is worry about getting into grad school and I'm all set. Praise be to the Lord! woot woot!! lol. God is good ALL the time. I am so grateful for everyone's prayers, and Gods unconditional blessings.

And lastly I will definitely be spending more time with the family. I will need their support even more now that my bestfriend is leaving for 6 months. I will hang around my mom more so she can teach me things than can sharpen my skills. Sigh, this will be a tough semester.

I pray that the Lord keeps me and continues to bless me. I pray that the Lord will keep the love of my life safe and draw him closer to Himself. I pray that the Lord will bring my man back to me, and our relationship will be even stronger than when he left.

So what can I say but this semester will be somethin else. :) This diary will help in more ways than one....
