Dear 2015,

     You better get ready because I am about to rock your world. There is so much that I want to do and accomplish this year. I want to start a clothing line, start modeling, host my own professional photography business,  and find the true me. I want to learn to live without the goal of exceeding others expectations but exceeding my own expectations. I am so over trying to please others. I need to start thinking about what I want to do and what will make me the happiest I can be.

     I used to think that my purpose in  life was to find people and bring them to Jesus Christ to help them hurt less from the brokenness of this world. But this year I realized that I didn't even know what a world without poverty, divorce, loneliness, abortion, being an orphan, and all of the other unjust things that we are used to. I brought myself to realize this and imagine a perfect world and why things are not this perfect. Ignorance, denial, arrogance, and confusion are what I came up with.

     So 2015,
I will live this year humbly, truthfully, and with the contentment of the unknown. I am not expecting you to be perfect 2015 but I am sure as heck, you will be better. I have opened my eyes and my beliefs to an ideal of living that is better that the last crap year of my life. I will be free this year living in God's love and His approval and not anyone else's. I will find a way to model without it disgracing God. I will take pictures of His beautiful creation. I will be the girl I was meant to be not by this worlds standards but by my own. And don't get me wrong 2015, I still want to bring others to light of God but I am using a new tactic. This quote from TobyMac's Facebook sums it up pretty well

-Lighthouses don't find people by searching for them individually, they just stand there and shine.

     2015 you will be a year with freedom, grace, and positivity that will be like none before. Today I am saying goodbye to depression, resentment, and everything that has created last year. I am stepping out of my self-created box of false truths and misconception and into a world where I can create my own reality.

Goodbye 2014, Hellooooooo 2015!!!!!
