My freshman year was a tremendous growing experience for me. I was so caught up in myself and finding answers to every question I had in life...but the constant searching kept me seeking. God has taught me a great deal these past 3 and a half years at A&M. Although our identity is fluid, constantly changing and being reformed into who the Lord created us to be, it is nice to reflect back on the journey sometimes. This is the letter to myself I found while looking through old drawers today (written 9-30-05).
This year I'd like to learn how:
-To take baby steps.
-To stop worrying about what others think and just experience life from my own perspective.
-To live now instead of always thinking of tomorrow. Because all I'm given is now. God doesn't hand me the whole puzzle, He hands me pieces.
-To transform worries into prayers and remember that God does care about the little things.
-To be thankful. Instead of dreaming of what could be, I'd like to accept and appreciate what IS.
-To relax, remembering that if you don't slow down, you miss things.
That's a lot of things to want to learn in one year, right? At least I was hopeful! Have I successfully conquered these goals? No, and thats okay. Keeps me depending on the Lord. So thank you, Father, for still having faith in me and taking the time to help me grow.

I'm blessed to spend the rest of my life with you Rachel Pressley. Your photography talents are only the tip of the iceberg of showing just how great a person you truly are. Just imagine the lists we'll live out in the next 50 years... it's gonna be the ride of our lives!
I think that you should never stop learning and growing and questioning everything. Life throws some pretty amazing lessons at us.. and I think all those things continually shape us into who we finally become. I personally and still spreading my wings and figuring out who I am.. I have had a quick look through your blog You are very talented and I will be back to look around some more as well. I have really enjoyed what I Have seen so far.
Aw, Rachel, can I just say that reading Matt's comments on this post made me want to cry (happy tears) for the amazing journey you are about to embark on?
