leadership summit.

i haven't been online here because of the christmas break.  i went on a week long class trip to buena vista, co.  and let me just say it was an amazing experience.  it's basically 5-6 days of lectures from professional businessmen and woman (yes, just one). ** i'll have to list all the names of all the speakers when i can get to my list.  i don't want to leave anyone out.**

anyways it was a big wake-up call. in the sense that i have never had to really think about what i want to do... or what i'm even good at... i mean all my life i have just been able to lean on others, mainly my family but even the serious relationships i have been in.  i've never had to think past: small job, get married, have a family, leave all the financial and hard stuff to the husband... BUT now i have to learn what i'm good at, what i'm made for.  i have to learn...scratch that...i want to learn all the hard stuff such as paying bills, figuring out a balance, saving for the future - actually having something to bring into the marriage i will someday have.  and you know what, i'm so excited!!  i'm looking forward to being able to apply everything i learned in the real world!!

although all this is in high spirit, keep me in prayer, for its a long journey ahead.
