cypress gardens.
J&M.
fresh start.
new faces.
can't wait.
This year has absolutely flown by. I'm honestly in shock as I think about being a senior in college tomorrow. I have a final in a little less than 5 hours that I have to take, and then poof! there goes another year. this year has been one heck of a ride. so much of me as a person has changed, and yet so much of me is just further solidified in the person i have always been. our house has made a pretty full circle compared to just a few weeks ago. God is so big, in the way that He moves and reveals Himself to us. As far as relationships go, don't worry, I'm still as bashful as ever. I can't quite get up the nerve to say hi... but maybe tomorrow night I will get another chance? yea right. however, thanks to a few coaches, its all been laid out in the open anyway.
i just got done having a late night chat with a fellow student. We were talking about relationships, and how to handle regret. Wow. talk about a heavy topic. it's interesting, to see how many other people struggle in relationships, in whatever way. i think so many times kids feel isolated and alone in their struggle. either they feel ashamed, or are too naive to understand that there are others who are struggling alongside of them, or maybe even a combination of both. as for me, its a process. its a journey to know that mistakes can't be wiped away from my mind-- but then to know and trust that they have been wiped away from His. What an incredible God.
nationals is coming up... two weeks from, well i guess technically yesterday, tournament play begins. it's crazy to think that it is actually happening- that my dream and passion is going to be worked into the picture of a national tournament. what an honor... and a stressor!
I leave for Florida the day I get done with NAIA nationals. I accepted a position at Cypress Gardens for the summer. It should be entertaining, even if it is incredibly frightening. It seems as though it is time for me to grow up... but i just don't want to. It's going to be quite the adjustment to just be on my own. and still- i will get to meet so many new people. i will get a fresh start, a chance to invest in new relationships. what a honor!
life changes. so fast.
