Home Sweet Home



I feel so blessed to have landed at a school that I truly love. College isn't for anyone, but finding a town that I can call home- where locals already know you & your involvement is appreciated is amazing. A chance to test out how strong my independence really is. Working two part times jobs at the daycare, & nursing home I'm learning new skills that will help me through out life. I'm happy to call Farmington my home  Cheers to the next four years!

Hello again! Long time no talk?

             Updating my blog often is not as habitual as I would like, however here I am given a quick catch up.  On June 8th, 2014 I graduated from Poland Regional High school and let me just say it was quite a relief to finally be done these last four years.  It was like that of a marathon, the last leg of the race that seemed to continue on forever. I'd been impatient with life for who knew where I was going, or where the heck I'd even end up.  The last month of high school was one of the most challenging, but with a few close friends tightly by my side I made it through.             "Don't wish away high school, when you're finished you'll want to go back. Experience it all."  Advice I heard continuously from elders, much wiser for a reason.  Yet as I finished my last real day of high school emotions ran high.  Four years of ups and downs, highs and lows that seemed to feel like a r...

3 Things No one Ever told me about College

College is all about finding yourself, learning to balance hard work and fun and most of all starting a foundation for your future.  Yet no matter how many questions I asked or people I prodded some lessens I found are learned yourself.  Or- to be quite honest many obstacles I knew nothing of. Many of the struggles I have faced in college already were expected, you know the occasional disagreement with a roommate or pop quiz you missed in class because you decided to sleep in and skip that 8 am. With this being said I've been surprised at some of the tough surprises I am running into. I. Stranger Stranger  For starters I knew I would probably be homesick, for sure.  But never in a million years would I find it so hard adjusting back home even for a couple nights.  No one told  me I would feel like a stranger in my own home .  My friend Emily moved into my room and though we've shared it for many months I all of a sudden feel like an intruder. ...

Alton Bay, New Hampshire- Spiritual Retreat

       During February vacation a bunch of us youth were able to spend a weekend in Alton Bay, New Hampshire. Talk about much needed time off.  So easily are we consumed by our daily notions.  At the beginning of the weekend after prayer and discussion we all felt as though the weekend was meant to be used for stillness.  Words such as "Trust, better relationship, confidence, and more faith" were written down.         The Holy Spirit was sweetly intense.  Worship was lifting, and a refreshment of peace was restored in my own heart.  Our youth leader, Sean gave us certain bible verses to read over.  I always had known the Bible is dense in stories, yet I had never dug deep enough to realize that frequently there are stories written from different perceptions.        Jesus died on the cross for our sins- none of which were worthy of being forgiven and yet through Jesus we were given a new...
