What’s up y’all !
I gotta say, the reality of everything going on right now is still sinking in. In the past couple months I have ~~~
– closed out a great senior year. Everyone always said it would be the best and I didn’t believe them but here I am
– led my final campaigners
– helped publish our last newspaper
– took the last ap exams I ever will ( bless )
– graduated, haha I’m not sure how. Officially a TC alum !!
– decided on NC State for environmental science (with the class of 22 of course)
I’ve never been one to get emotional about change, so I just remind myself to appreciate. Yes, the past four years have been a literal rollercoaster. I never thought I would’ve ended up where I am, but God does things we can never foresee. My life so far in itself has been such a reminder for me just to trust him and lean not on my own understanding.
The past couple weeks have really shown me how blessed I am and how awesome and supportive my family is, all my families. It’s just got me feelin like a lucky kiddo ! God is so good.
At the same time I feel like I’m moving in 12 different directions. I’ve been switching focus from the past, the future, and the present so much lately just because life’s moving fast. There’s something reassuring about closing out a happy chapter because I know the next one will lead me on roads I can’t even imagine yet. As much as part of me feels like I wanna be sad, all the excitement and potential for days ahead just completely overtake that.
Y’all, nine months is a long time. Three quarters of a year ! All I’ve ever wanted to do is just get up and go, run, see new things and meet new people, and just experience. I’ve got a chance, and more importantly I’m getting to help share the word of this life’s greatest joy and live completely in the Lord’s love.
If i spend all my time looking down at the path I’m walking on, so eager to forge my own way, i forget to look around, ahead and behind. And right now, I’m supposed to build more paths, and I’m glad to. But I’m learning not to forget to look up, because how do you navigate yourself if not by the stars He has laid out for us ?
Romans 8:19 ~
“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.”
