End Of A Chapter...

Wow...So long since my last time writing...Sorry for that...School has been insane...I was involved in a few big things here near the end of the year and it took some toll...For example, it's 3am and I am still awake and probably won't go to bed due to finals and studying...That brings me to a point...Tomorrow is my last day of school here at Spring Arbor...My first full on-campus year (I went to community college last year)...It makes me wonder...Have I grown like I should have during this year? I mean, I was around a ton of good, solid people, profs and students, who befriended and stretched me...I know I have grown, I just hope I have grown in the direction God wants me to be...I know for a fact that there were times I turned my back on that path...I regret most of them...Something Ron Kopicko (Chaplain) and Rick Morgan (Youth Pastor) have drilled into me this year is the concept of Plan A, or wanting the main plan God has...It's not so much me wanting to great things FOR God, which I sincerely want to still happen every day, it's more like me just wanting God's will to be done, and if he chooses to use me, then how awesome that is...How awesome it is to be used by God to make his perfect plan happen...This past year I let myself get distracted sometimes with crap that didn't matter and I missed it...I missed God calling to me...

Overall, this year, I had a good time...I met some amazing people whom I hope to continue relationships with next year and get to know them deeper...I will miss hanging with a completely new group of friends everyday...And I will miss staying up until ungodly hours of the morning doing nothing worth that lost sleep...Praise God I have at least two more years here...

I know this blog had little depth to it and such...I just felt like sharing some feelings with y'all anyways...Hope you have an awesome week :)



P.S. Check out this band by the name of EVER STAYS RED...They have played a big part in my music life...Some of their lyrics that have been running in my head all day...



How our eyes burn bright
Back in the day when
Our dreams were all that kept us alive
Now we can't stop now
We're gonna make it
We're standing on the brink of it all
