Growing Up and Moving On

So this past week has been really hard for me...Everything happened so fast. One minute I found out that one of my best friends was...making bad decisions, and the next thing I know, my mom forbids me to talk to them. I'm not going to mention any names because it's kind of personal. I didn't even get to say goodbye. And here's the irony about the whole thing...it happened on Valentine's Day. I thought Valentine's Day was supposed to be happy...not depressing. I guess this whole situation goes to show that God has better plans in store for me. And on top of all that drama, I have to drive this week for Driver's Ed. Driving is very dangerous when you have other things on your mind. I learned that the hard way yesterday. My mom took me driving for the first time yesterday, and I was terrified. I was so scared I started crying at the wheel and I was shaking like crazy. But my mom made me turn the car off and wouldn't let me drive until I calmed down. Well, at least I won't be as terrified as I was yesterday, when I drive this week. But on the bright side, it was a great learning experience. My mom is a great teacher. 

Here is a quote that has been on my mind all week:
"Don't be afraid to keep moving on, for what was before, now has gone, God wants to accomplish so much more, but we need to move forward in the Lord." ~ M.S. Lowndes

Well...I guess this is it for today.
