Journey

Yesterday officially started my journey to becoming a doctor! :) I am a Biology major at UNM and I can definitely say that being a doctor is a career that I dream of. It took me a long time to realize this but I'm so excited about it! 

This semester is going to be a challenge but I say, "Bring it on!" Haha. I am taking 18 credit hours, working about 20 hours a week (I know that is not a lot but it is when you have a ton of homework already), and trying to keep my relationship with Christ as a priority. I don't want my faith to slip away because of being so incredible busy. I have to say that not having a boyfriend is kind of nice; one less thing I have to worry about I guess. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have that special someone, but I have so much to work for right now that I just need to work on myself, my career, and my relationship with God.

My classes have started off well. I had Spanish, Physics, English, and American Politics yesterday and they were all really interesting and should not be too hard. Thank goodness. I had my Physics lab this morning and we got out about 2 hours before the end of class, which was really nice. I am so excited for my class this afternoon though… Biology 201: Cell and Molecular Biology :) I am so stoked! I’m a nerd, I know, but I cannot help but be excited to start this journey in my life.

Yesterday afternoon I passed a booth for the UNM School of Medicine and talked to them for a while. It seems like I am on the right track and I have faith that is God has this calling for me then I will succeed :)

One more note... I started going to a Community Group for Mars Hill Church | Albuquerque and I am so blessed to have found this group. To all who are in it, thank you for loving me as your sister in Christ and y'all will forever be in my prayers! I also started the Membership Process at MHC | ABQ and I have an interview with Hillary to see if I am qualified to become a member of the church! EXCITING! :)

Wish me luck!

Recent Life

Hey y'all. 


There has been a lot going on in my life these last couple of weeks. I have been attending the Doctrine Class at Mars Hill Church|Albuquerque and it has been an eye opening experience. I am learning so much about my Father God and am growing in my faith and relationship with Him everyday. The first class was "It's All About Jesus" and I never realized how great our God really is. One of my friend described Him as the perfect friend that you want everyone to know. I thought that was perfect! The second week was "Authority and Organization" and it was great to hear about the Scriptures and gain more knowledge. This week is "A Mars Hill Member" and I am very excited. :)

After the Doctrine Class last Sunday me, Alex, Tyler, Patrick, and a bunch of other people attended the 5pm service at the church. It was great to listen to Pastor Mark talk about the gift of baptism and what it really means to be baptized. After the sermon we watched 12 or so people get dunked. One of them was my friend Tyler. Seeing him be baptized by his brother, Alex, was so great. I'm so happy for him! :)

Congratulations again, Tyler!


On Monday, I attended a community group that Tyler and Alex go to and I really loved it. I will definitely keep going :) I have been looking for one for awhile and it was a relief and blessing to finally find one that I fit in :)


After CG, Tyler, Alex (not his brother but another one), and I went to the see The Hunger Games. I finished reading the book last week and am so happy that I finally got to see the movie :) It was great and very close to the book, which made me relieved! Even with Tyler's jokes (one when he yelled "who let the dogs out" pretty loud haha)... It was so much fun!! :)


I'll give another update soon :)
