As I look back upon the two months that have just passed me by, I realize how fortunate I am in this world. Leaving high school may have been the easiest part, but leaving those wonderful and dear friends from the Grapevine Church family is something that I have dreaded this entire summer. Good friends are very difficult to come by, and leaving so many of them wears a heavy burden on my heart. I thank our Father everyday for blessing me with such a caring, compassionate, and loving church family. I will continue to pray that God keeps me on the right path because without such persisting brothers and sisters, I find it hard to continue to be Godly in a world where I am persecuted for such beliefs.
On a little different note, Monday seems to be a start to a new world for me. College... just speaking that word makes my hands shake; well, in a good sense of mind of course. Independence and Responsibility are two words that continually ring through my mind, knowing I'm not a little kid anymore. Although living by myself would further the meaning of independence, money is always a bit of an issue for us poor college students. Even though this new start will be quite the challenging one, I look at it with such pride and happiness that the only thing I can do is smile. But maybe that's the way I should look at life in general... with enough pride and joy that all I can do is smile and hopefully make other people smile back.
Rely on him, and nothing is too great...
