Well, another year has gone by....

Wow, is it really going to be 2015?? I still cannot believe that it is already time for a new year already.
This year has been interesting. I have gained so much perspective on my life and what I want to be doing. So, if you haven't kept up, here is a short synopsis of my past year.
Yes, I still work for Airgas, and there are no plans in the near future to look for anything else. I am still traveling the United States and I am still loving it. A lot of people ask me how I can like this so much, I just do. It works for me, I like the different places across America that I get to see. It does sometimes, get frustrating when I have a delayed flight or my bag doesn't make it, but those are the small things, and I work through them.
I love my job, and I love what I do. I am surely blessed that I get to continue to do this wonderful job.
MY PARENTS MOVED BACK FROM CHINA THIS YEAR!! Oh my goodness, I feel like it was forever ago when I write the blog about them leaving. I still remember how it felt and how it affected me. But, they are "home". The got back in July, and I feel like we are all molded back together again. I can not explain how happy that they are back. I have my best friend back, My mom. :)
When I said that they are home I did this, "home" Dad has accepted a job at Virgin Galactic in California. He is absolutely loving it and I am so proud of him. If you don't know what Virgin Galactic is, I would suggest googling it and seeing how AWESOME my dad is, and what he gets to do on a daily basis.
In October, if you read my blog, I had the pleasure of traveling to South Africa on a mission trip. This trip was life changing. It really put my life in perspective for me and made me prioritize what is truly important in my life. I have fallen even more in love with Africa than I was before I got there. The children and the staff there and everything about it tugged on my heart strings, and I feel like my heart is in Africa. I plan on going back in the near future!!
Lastly, I decided with a lot of thinking and prayer, that I would go to college. I finally took the leap and enrolled at Grand Canyon University out of Phoenix Arizona. I prayed for a long time before I made this decision, and now that I have, I couldn't be happier.
My degree will be a Bachelors of Arts in Christian Studies with an Emphasis on Biblical Studies. Wow, what a mouth full. I am not sure what God wants me to do with this degree, but I know he has a plan and I am just going with it. If full time missionary work is what He wants of me, then I want to be as prepared as possible.
This year flew by, I can't believe it is almost over, but I do know that God has huge plans for me and I look forward to see what He has in store for me.

God Bless everyone in the coming year!

Love too all,

Lisa
