i am thankful

it all comes to the fact that i will be a student in college six months from now. i will be about to begin classes at belmont university. if that isn't motivation to step it up and just push through the rest of the year, what is? i am so thankful for so much in my life right now, and i forget to acknowledge it all. i am thankful for my acceptance letter to belmont. i am thankful for heather's ear and challenging. i am thankful for the park singers. i am thankful for the relationships i have with my friends. i am thankful for my family. i am thankful for the fact that god put me into a world where my needs have been provided for. i am thankful that god has shown me how much i need to share with those who haven't been as blessed as me materially. i am thankful that he has a plan for my life.

wow. that felt good.

my revolution, part 4: college fast approaching...

i have 87 school days until graduation. that means in 87 school days i will cease to be a student in high school and will become a college student at belmont. this is a bit scary and exciting. i am going to be popped out of my little spain park/green valley/hoover city bubble, and i will be thrust into a completely new world with no one i know. basically no one i know. what an awesome opportunity for god to do amazing things in my life. stripping away everything that is comfortable so that the only thing i have to rely on is him. i cannot wait.
