A few weeks ago Steven (my little brother) was talking about how he wanted to get season tickets for the braves next season… It was then that I realized that I wont be around to go to any of the games.
As odd as it seems, it just recently hit me that everyone’s life is going to go on while I am gone. I guess up until a few weeks ago it seemed like I will leave for a year, life as I know it here will pause, and when I come back in November everyone’s life will continue like I never left.
While I am gone:
- Steven will have finished his freshman year and half of his sophomore year of college
- My parents will probably no longer be living in California (if we go by the our recent moving track record)
- Madz will already be 2½ and Addy will just have turned 3
- A few of my friends will be married, and a few of them will most likely be engaged
- I will have missed the entire season of bulldawg football, and they will be in route to a national championship game (I can wish right?)
- I will miss everyone’s birthday..
[and on that note, I will spend my 23rd birthday in India.. whoa..]
Not that this makes me question if I’m doing the right thing going on this trip. I do believe that this is where God wants me to be, and I’m excited to let him lead me.
