- A quote she loves in reference to this little journal she keeps. Author: Unknown

If you're new to the adventures of Lively Little Miss, this little page is intended to keep you up to date with what's happening in her life, and therefore give you a better understanding of where she's writing from on a day to day basis. (To find out more about her in general, go here.)

Right now, Little Miss is in her early twenties, a young adult. She's lately been finding this stage both exciting and frustrating, as many of life's biggest decisions are made now. In the future, big decisions can be deliberated over, but they are always based on the foundations of decisions you've made when you're a young adult. Two of her biggest decisions are that of a career path for her life, and a spouse to join her as she chases that career. 

LOVE: 

These pages are penned with Little Miss' thoughts and contemplations on love, but also with her patient wait for God to walk her into the relationship He has planned for her. Slowly, under God's direction she's begun to see her sweet brown eyed boy, J, whom she hopes to call "boyfriend" soon.

GOD: 

Through all of the confusion of the young adult years, one thing remains consistent in Little Miss' life, and that's her relationship with God. (If you want to read about your own love story with God, go here.) She lives every aspect of her life to glorify God, and follow His will for her life. He has such great plans for her, even if she isn't entirely sure what they are yet. 

SCHOOL:

She's in the summer before her fourth year of university, taking an education degree. After that year, she will need to work for two years full time as a teacher to get her permanent certificate. She'll graduate from University in April 2013, and if she's able to secure a job right out of university, she'll be able to apply for her permanent certificate in June 2015. 

CAREER CHOICE:

Though she's earning a teaching degree, Little Miss has wondered if perhaps God may be leading her to use those skills as a Children's Pastor. Right now, she is a Children's Ministry Assistant at her church part time, while she juggles full time school. In the summer she works full time at the church. Though her path could fork either direction (between teaching or children's pastoring), she is diligently working to trust that God will direct her path. She'd be happy with either outcome, but not sure what God will do, since she feels called to ministry, and not sure what that will look like in her life.

HOME:

She is enjoying living at home during her university years, rent free! Not only is it a huge blessing to be able to live at home, but she loves her family whom she lives with. One day she'll move out, but it's not even an option until she finishes school. 

FAMILY:

Her family is currently comprised of a Mom and Dad, older brother and younger sister (and a little cat). She is also very close to her uncles, aunts and cousins on her father's side of the family. Some of them attend her church and are her good friends, so family is a very big part of her life and everyday adventures.
