My 2012 in Pictures

Last night, I was going to make a long post about my 2012 year but I decided against it. Haha. 

          They say that pictures speak a thousand words, so here are pictures from (almost?) every month of                                    
          adventures from the past year.                  

JANUARY

My parents and little sister went to the Philippines for the month
 so I had to make my way to work on foot. (Look! Frozen Eyebrows!)

My daily view as I walk to and from work

I finished a week-long Daniel Fast.

I also finished a weekend-long concert and on the last day, I got my first
picture ever with a band member. =D

FEBRUARY

Nothing much happened in February.. I did get a buzz cut
after a years of having hair longer than this one though!

MARCH 

I just celebrated my birthday this month.

APRIL

I got my acceptance letter from the only college
that I've applied to. This was the most bittersweet letter I've received.
It was bitter because receiving this letter, for me meant that I had to leave
my then church  and help my parents plant(?) a church. Sweet because
well, I got accepted into college! The first of many steps into
answering and fulfilling God's call for my life.

MAY

The most memorable for me this month was meeting Paul Baloche and his band,
Phil Wickham, and Sean McDowell

JUNE-AUGUST

The summer months consisted of hanging out with friends,
my very first road trip with friends without family,
and learning how to boat. Great summer!

SEPTEMBER-DECEMBER

DEFINITELY the best four months of the year! September-December marked
my first semester as a college student and even better, a BIBLE COLLEGE STUDENT.
I was pondering about it the other day and realized that for some reason,
even back when college was the least of my worries, I've always wanted
to become a Bible college student and now that I am, just genuinely blows me away!
These past 4 months consisted of:

• Taking my first steps into Vanguard College
• Meeting my white brotha' from anutha motha (CUJO!!!)
• Experiencing a week-long class and ended up making a new friend (My ginger bro, love you man!)
• Making lots of lifelong friends
• Filling up a car with balloons
• Surviving a near-death experience
• Dressing up and looking good for the first time in many, many months
• TONS OF PAPERS
• A few but indeed very memorable sleepovers
• Seeing God's Grace and accepting His call and will for my life

I CANNOT WAIT FOR WHAT IS AHEAD IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR! God has shown me endless times this year that HE IS faithful, that HE IS loving, that HE IS gracious, that HE IS divine, that HE WILL never leave His people nor forsake them, that HE IS GOD. MY GOD. MY SAVIOR. MY KING.
