My Isasmellie

I feel like I am blogging a lot but I have a lot to say so..I was just listening to this song called "In my daughter's eyes" and It made me think of Isabelle who is one of my students at my daycare. NO..she is not my daughter and I am not planning on having one anytime soon. However Isabelle is one of the greatest blessings I have ever received. No lie! I truly do not believe anyone has ever loved me as much as this little girl has. When she looks at me you can just see how much she adores me. She has been the reason for my smile many times these last couple of months. When I look at her all I can hope is that I actually become a woman that Isabelle can someday look up too. I remember one day I came into work just angry at some drama I had been dealing with. When Isabelle and I were just sitting down talking like we do everyday Isabelle goes "Ms.Christin, will you pray with me" at that very moment my heart just leaped with joy. Because it made me realize the Lord was using Isabelle as a tool for me. I knew Isabelle was literally a blessing sent from the Lord. I truly hope that one day my daughter is every bit like Isabelle and I hope my daughter adores me the way Isabelle adores me! This little girl has shown me how lovable I actually am. So I very thankful to have this little girl in my life, and I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to her in August. :(

This is a picture of Isabelle and I that Isabelle drew for me. :)

The Lord's plan prevails

I like being a college student. I am full time taking 5 classes so it keeps me busy I always have some kind of homework to do. My career goals is I want to get an associates degree here at lone star then transfer to Sam Houston State University to get my bachelors in education. I hope to either be a Pre-Ap English teacher for high school and someday become a English 1302 professor at a college. (Sept 2011)



I wrote this about a year ago, and it kind made me laugh about how life does not workout. It reminded me of the Proverb "Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." I  am constantly always thinking that I have everything planned and set. However with coming to figure out who I am, I am also learning what the Lord has planned for me. Trying to figure out the talents he has equipped me with for my future. So we will say as of now June 2012 MY plan is: finish my basics at Sam Houston, then transfer to A&M to major in international studies as well as a major in Spanish my minor is still undecided. However this is always up for change. What I plan to do with this degree I have not quite figured out other than use it as an excuse to travel the world. My new favorite quote is "The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page." -St. Augustine. Now knowing that I love to read I can never just read one page of a book. I am excited to see where my future and life leads knowing that my dreams are not quenched anymore. I am not limited to a simple life.

What a year!

So this year...has been one for the records! It has been full of heartbreak and hurt and to be quite honest blessings galore as well. I feel like I am starting to figure out who I really am. I have stopped trying to please everyone around me and stopped trying being things that I am not, and started being me.
  

 I am a girl who loves Jesus but loves to have fun as well. I like country music, but Michael Buble, Jason Mraz and John Mayer speak to my soul. I can read a book triology in less than a week, I have finally come to the realization that I am very intellegent! Traveling is my passion. I love Texas but Spain will always have my heart. I would love to say that I am a simple girl, but in reality I am very complex! I hate blood, and could never be a business woman. Kids are still without a doubt the key to my heart. Sarcasm is still my second language, spanish my third. I am extremely picky when it comes to who I'll date next but thats only because I know what I want. I'd prefer to be lonely than unhappy. I have trust issues but not the normal kind I am the person that trust everyone to easily! I am still trying to discover everything else out about myself but for the first time in a long time I feel like I am finally defining myself and not allowing a boy define me. I am finally free to be me!
