I need to add a couple things to my bucket list:
16. Have a room filled with amazing outfits/costumes/etc. and travel to really cool places with friends and take pictures and get my picture taken :)
17. Go to some kind of ball/dance (I think it would be so much fun to go to an old fashioned ball like Pride and Prejudice times)
About Me
- Emily
- A season of change. That is what I might call this adventure called College. It really has been a blast, or part of it. It's also been stressful and hard, but I've been blessed by amazing friends. I'm 18 and I am currently undecided, so I am trying to see what God has for me out there.

#bucketlist
My current bucket list:
1. Go on a missions trip out of the country!
2. Make some really amazing friends at college :)
3. Pick a major that is meant for me and know what God wants me to do with my life
4. Sing/play guitar in front of people
5. Hang out at the beach/near the beach for a while (live there for a time?) and learn how to SURF!
6. Get good at water skiing/wake boarding (or at least do it several times so I'm decent)
7. Get married on a beach (or at least outdoors)
8. Jump off a waterfall
9. Visit all 50 states (and get a T-shirt or something like that from each one!)
10. Travel to a bunch of different places with friends and just hang out and take pictures & generally have fun :D
11. Get better at volleyball (or at least play it a lot more!)
12. Redecorate my room so it looks awesome and shouts ME all over it!
13. Find an awesome way to collage pictures & quotes without it look sloppy (I can't figure out how to make it look awesome!)
14. Freaking get back in shape!
15. Start building up a SUPER cute wardrobe of awesome outfits (not random pieces of clothes, but completed outfits)
That's all that I can think of as of right now...I'm sure I am missing several things I would like to do. haha. I would love it if you guys would share your bucket lists! <3

#WaitingonHim
"Never let a man tell you you're not worth pursuing. For God became man, died and rose again just to pursue you. You are worth pursuing. You are beautiful. You are loved."
I'm not gonna lie, I've been pretty scared/unsure lately. As I face college coming closer and closer, I wish I could say that I am super excited and that I feel ready and organized and that I am completely trusting that God knows what He's doing and that I am not feeling stressed at all over not knowing where God is taking me. But I can't. I'm really not even looking forward to going to college at all, which is kind of weird. I mean, I was totally excited about it around the time when I was finishing high school and graduating. But now that it's getting closer, I guess I'm more freaked out than anything. I AM excited about playing volleyball with some friends, though!
But I guess I just need to learn how to step out in faith. SO easy to say, but SO hard to do! Even though I'm scared, I need step out anyway and see what God has for me. I can't hide behind my fears. I am excited to see where God takes me on this crazy journey called life, though. I just kind of wish I could see just a small part of his plan. I mean, I have absolutely NO idea what He wants me to do. I don't even have a major picked out for college! I would love to travel someday. Maybe not all the time, but at least go SOMEWHERE! And I like a lot of things, but I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at any of them....but I HAVE to believe that He DOES have a perfect and unique plan for MY life and that, in the RIGHT TIME, He will reveal those secrets to me. I just have to WAIT ON HIS TIMING. I think that's what God is trying to teach me right now....#WAITINGONHIM

Updates...
Heyy :) I know I haven't written in foreverrrrr so we'll see if I can actually keep this blog up for a little bit (haha...yeah right!)
But anyway....I have a ton of updates I guess I can write about. First of all, I got a mac, which I'm super excited about! :) It's been tons of fun!
Second, college starts in less than a month and I'm freaking out and not excited about it at all (except for playing intramural volleyball with Amelia!) and I am NOT ready at ALL....so I could really go on about that for forever I think!
But anyway, another update: we're getting a dog tomorrow!!!!!! I am sooo excited about that! Her name is Goldie and she is a golden, obviously, and she is 4 months old. She is a service dog, so this should be fun :)
Another update: I have really been getting into photography lately :) If you wanna see some of my stuff, check out my Facebook page: Emily Mathews Photography. I have another photoshoot planned for tomorrow, I hope it doesn't rain! This photoshoot was rescheduled because we thought it might rain on the day that it was originally scheduled for.
So...I'm gonna go to bed because I am really tired :)
