loong time no see

well.. everyone is bugging me about not posting. i didn't realize that people actually read my blog. so 9 months later i'm posting.

so much has changed since April of 2010.. sooo much.

i started a semester of college.
i was challenged. stretched.
i grew. i learned so much.
i met amazing, godly people.
i wouldn't trade that semester for anything in the world.
aaaand then i ended a semester of college.
i spent a month at home.
and wow, have things changed even in the last 3 days. it's nuts.

God has taught me so much the past couple of months. three of the biggest lessons i learned were to be content no matter where i am. that i have to be responsible and start truly acting like a college student.. as in buying ALL of my own things. things that mom&dad won't be there for in 3-4 years from now. and the last thing i learned was that God WANTS a relationship with me. He is ALWAYS going to be there and He wants me to seek Him. He's sitting there saying, "woohoo, Kathryn, i'm here. just waiting on you." and i continue searching and searching for someone ignoring that He's there and always will be there.

and ohmygosh, can i just tell yall how much i LOVE my amazing friends donna, emily, amy, and katie. wow. wow. WOW. thankyou God for putting these amazing girls in my life. wanna know what we did the last morning of our beach vacation? prayed on the beach wrapped in big blankets for a good 45 min. i want yall to know that this isn't me bragging, it's me verbally (or over the internet) thanking God for such amazing friends. for friends that would just wake up and go pray for each other for however long we need. friends where i can tell them anything and the first thing they say is, "lets pray RIGHT NOW!" and we do. i'm just so incredibly thankful.. i dont know what else to say. they are supportive in my decisions, they tell me the truth if they don't think i'm being smart about something and they're not afraid to be honest. it's a beautiful thing God has blessed us with. i'm. so. thankful.

i have so much more to tell about my life and this is just what's happened in a nutshell. but for now, this post will have to do. i promise i'll keep posting. this won't be the end.
