WOW!!! Training camp is in 4 DAYS! My excitement is just growing as my love and connection with the lord has been. Life has flown by since graduation the whole experience was completely surreal. I had honestly felt like I had outgrown high school at the beginning of my junior year but not gonna lie graduation threw me for a loop definitely. Through the blur of caps, gowns, friends, family, grad party’s, and more I began to realize I was going to miss a few things about high school after all. Not necessarily even most of the people but the familiarity you feel when you walk in the building with most of the people. The community and friendly face atmospher we take for granted. You look back on it and you have your regrets and your acomplishments but in the end wether you feel it or not it did in fact shape you and build you. But now is the time to fly the coop, seize the day, and chase life. This right of passage has got to be the most scary one for sure, but if you don’t have a little fear in what your doing… where is the risk? If there is no risk there is no reward. Thats what I encourage to all of my peers who are being weighed down by fear and uncertainty. Pursue your pursuit of happiness no matter how high the steaks! Thats the beauty of life. The magic is in the mystery. Not all mystery are gonna end great. Not all mystery’s are gonna end bad either. But no great journey was a straight shot.
I have recently just taken off on a journey to Ireland and boy was in great exposure. It was my first time out of the country besides Mexico and Canada. It was beyond my wildest dreams and expectations. See the beach, countryside, great authentic Irish music beyond compare. But you are truly alone and out of your skin. Its a great feeling and a scary one being vulnerable which I’m normally not. But with that vulnerability i found the most compassion and conversation through locals who saw me out of my skin a tad. I feel they found interest in that and wanted to know more of my back round. What I was all about and what my passions were and then they shared theirs. Point being we spend our lives afraid of these things like “fear”,”vulnerability”, and “risk”. But if I have learned once thing throughout my life experiences and tragedy’s and accomplishments they all involve full expectation and acceptance of feeling these and embracing them that with gods plan and will they all have a key piece in who they would make me into and what they would prepare me for. Now I’m gearing up for a nine month missions trip which I would have not had the courage to do today if i had just ran away from feeling that vulnerability when life called me to. So once again in high tides and through uncertainty embrace the unknown future with passion and drive. Life is to short not to. Time for our next move.
