Giant Leap of Faith

      Hey everyone! I've kind of decided to go out on a limb and try something that most people (including myself) don't like doing: talking about imperfections. If you know me at all, you know how much of a perfectionist I am. That phrase, "You're your own worst critic"?.....yeah, I'm pretty sure whoever said that was talking about me. If you know me then you also know how much of a whirlwind this year has been for me so far. In a nutshell, I was suppose to graduate from college this past May with my nursing degree, but didn't (I'll go into more detail about that later). Since then, there has been many ups and downs, tears and screaming, and a LOT of prayer. One of those ups (hopefully) is the decision to start this blog. I've shared my testimony with a few people, and they all seem to say the same thing: that I helped them by doing so. With aspirations of being a nurse, knowing that I've helped people is always a plus to me. I don't want to become famous by doing this, or to be known by tons of people because of the things I post. Nothing that I have done so far, or will do in the future, can be attributed to myself. God has held me in His hands my entire life, never letting me go even when I was kicking and screaming, trying to get away. I am the person I am because of Him. If you don't get anything else out of what I write, please grasp this: God is amazing. He loves you. If you let Him, He will make your life worth living. 

       Now I want to take a minute to explain the title of this blog. I thought for a while trying to think of the perfect name that describes me and wear I'm at in life. The "faith" and "trust" are self-explanatory: I have had to put every ounce of faith and trust that I have into God and His will for my life. The "polka dots" part is because.....well, I'm incredibly girly and love pretty things, plus my newly found love for crafting has become somewhat of an obsession =) There is also a small nod to my love for Disney as well (think Peter Pan). Yes, at 22 years old, I still shamelessly watch Disney movies. I've even been told that I remind my friends of Rapunzel (possibly because she hits herself with a frying pan, but hey, I'll take it). I hope that I haven't bored you yet and that you stay tuned for more details, because I can promise you, my happily ever after is yet to come.....
