Just a Thought: Time to Reflect

   Senior Year is rapidly progressing. Two weeks from now will be Fall Break - and Fall Semester will be half done. It is an interesting experience to go from one extreme of loving school - to counting the days until I turn my last paper in. Maybe it is just the strain of fitting in 160 hours of clinical and being completely scatterbrained when it comes to due dates. But there are other things that are feeling much more important to me. First off - praying for my friend who will be undergoing surgery in a month... praying for a complete recovery and also praying for understanding from the university to allow her to continue with her courses. It is definitely a shocking experience - but one through which God is/will work through. Secondly - getting involved in a church again. Since I've been in college - I have attended church - but that was it. I haven't been INVOLVED. Doing service projects, being on leadership, singing... these are all things I have missed so much - and I'm so happy to be getting back in to this.
   And now I have turned the ripe-old age of 22. Things aren't where I thought they would be when I was preparing to leave high school - but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have made GREAT friends, GREAT memories, and plan to keep doing just that. I have learned a lot about myself, God, and plan to keep doing that too. I think it's kind of fun to just sit for a while and think back on all I have accomplished - what I still want to do - and work towards those things.
   Now about fun stuff that will be coming :) Soccer game tomorrow night. AWESOME. CRAVE after that. [Christian Rave... if you were curious :)] And great times with friends. Then bright and early on Saturday morning - Special Olympics. I haven't helped out with this before - but I think it's going to be pretty cool!

That's all I have for now - here are some pics from my birthday
