Wow...2008 has been such an incredible year!  Here are the top seven things that have happened to me personally this year.  (My mom did a great top ten highlights for our family for 2008 here.)

1. I have a better Biblical worldview and have been able to discern many of our culture’s lies.

2. I have realized I am a young adult and must grow up; I am not a child anymore.

3. If it’s God’s will, I want to be a freelance writer, author, and film-maker. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have had, since February, to write for Growing in Grace magazine for ladies.  The January issue is out!

4. In God’s timing, I now desire to be a wife and mother of a large family.

5. I have decided not to go to college.  After graduating from formal homeschool, I will remain at home and will continue training to be a capable keeper at home while using my God-given talents for the furtherance of God's kingdom.

6. I fully embrace my femininity.  I am so glad God created me a girl!  As an outward expression of femininity, I now normally wear dresses or skirts.

7. I have realized how wonderful home really is and how much can be done from home.
