Wow. . . it's been a realllllly long time since I have posted on this site. So many things have happened, I don't know where to begin- so I will just start with now. This weekend I leave to begin my sophmore year of college. I greet this challenge with mixed feelings. On one hand, I am excited beyond description at the possibilites that a new year may hold and the new opportunities that is will (hopefully) bring. I have missed my friends there so much- all of the random, amazing times that we have had. :) It makes me smile to remember them.
But i am also scared.
Of what, i am not entirely sure. Maybe of failure- my mother has had numerous conversations with me over the last few months of how "great" my intellect is and how i am not using it to its full potential. . . i don't believe her. I am not that smart, she's just my mom and can tell me that ;) Maybe i am scared of the unknown- of not knowing how one decision will affect my future and if i make the wrong one, how the consequences of my actions will cause me to fail. Maybe i am scared of not being. . .enough. I don't know, but i certainly do know that i feel differently about this year than i did about the last.
Haha- last year. . . wow, that seems like a lifetime ago in some respects. Things were so different then. Comparing myself last year to the person I am now is definately eye-opening contemplation. So many things have happened and i have learned much from all of the experiences God has seen fit to give me.
Wow. . .rabbit trail! Anyway, it's been good to get some of my feelings out there- and if you read through this whole thing, im sorry. :) If you think of me, keep me in your prayers- i will definatly need them.
