Disclaimer: Don't ask we what I am doing in all these photos. I really have no idea what I was doing haha. This is Bella being Bella so....yeah...
Yesterday was Sunday September 18, 2016. I went to church and an NHS induction ceremony. I'm excited to be an NHS secretary officer this year. I am highly anticipating what is in store for me this year in regards to NHS. I decided to do a fun shoot because it's been awhile. I'm really digging this dress I purchased last winter at Target for around $20. I love the flowy 70s inspired sleeves and flattering cut. It was definitely a good purchase. My pairing my 50s block heels from Francesca's gives the outfit a more summer feel then black booties would for example.
I can't believe this is my senior year! It's the beginning of a lot of lasts. Last first day, last dance, last choir concert ect.... It's super surreal and weird to be a senior. When I was a freshmen I hugely looked up to those seniors and thought they were so old and cool. Now being one, I realized they were all kids like me still trying to fit in and figure out life.
Can we quickly talk about how adorable my brother is? He is on the market ladies just to let you know! This year he is a freshmen and it has been a blast to go to school with him. He brightens my day when we yell each others name in the hall or when I can come up to his locker and vent about my day. What an awesome thing it is to have a brother. :)
This year has already been hard navigating what the Lord wants me to do with my life. It's really scary to think about the future and growing up. It's stressful to think that you are an example and people could be watching what you do and how you act and base what they do off of that. NO! please don't do that! haha
This year already the Lord has put on my heart to, "Be still and know that I am God." I am a worry wart about future plans and liking everything in a nice neat box of what I need to do. I wouldn't say I have anxiety or anything like that, but I definitely worry a lot. I don't want to mess up. The Lord has been teaching me to pray, "Lord help me to be patient and willing to listen to what you want me to do with my life." Instead of, "Lord I need to know right now exactly what you want me to do."
Every year I think back to past years and what I wish I would have known. No matter what grade you are currently in I think you could still take something from my little advice.
.
Freshmen Year:Try harder in school, know that you don't have to be perfect to be liked. Try to be friends with boys instead of date them. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS. Stop fighting with your mom.
Sophomore Year:Keep working on a daily devotion time as a routine. Take advantage of the amazing teachers you have this year and really get to know everyone in your class. Branch out from your tight friend group and go talk to teachers they have so much advice they could give you. Cherish having Asa at home before he leaves for college! Stop fighting with your mom.
Junior Year:This year is going to be really hard and that's ok. Get a tutor in Physics so you aren't so lost. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS. Hang out with people who push you to Jesus. Have Fun and don't get so stressed out. Cherish having Nevi home before she leaves for grad school. Stop fighting with your mom.
There are four years of schooling being shown in this photo. Me as freshmen year being excited about everything. Zane, senior year, just over school and wishing the freshmen would calm down and get it together. Lauren being a still awkward sophomore wondering what to do. Oh and the junior? Yeah they are all studying sorry they couldn't make the photo.
