So as we come upon the close of yet another sentence in the story of my life, I'm trying to describe this past year.
1 year ago I finished up my first year of college.
What has changed since then?
Life.
In 10 days I go back to my roots.
I'm terrified and excited at the same time. This has been... wow. This year has been crazy.
I'm going to attempt a word picture of these past two semesters.
New chances, choices, adventures, tears, cliff jumping, headaches, trials, temptations, baby steps, trying to cope, learning to stand up, getting a backbone, healing, anger, experience, Old testament, mistakes, corrections, surrender, the discovery of hatred for counseling, a found love of theology, a hunger for knowledge, the promise of the future, the idea and definition of Trust and Faith, McMath, New Testament, hysteria, Jack & Zoe, popcorn, fasting, worship, prayer, God, learning, loving my enemies, seeing people for who they are, dropping the plastic, learning who I am, watching real love, discovering my passions, new feelings, terror, the realization that I have both been not thinking enough of myself and too much at the same time, the realization of how small I really am, the reality and power of Jesus Christ, raw despair, laughter, hope, Dr. Orr, learning to breathe, rooftop experiences, homework questions, puzzles, texting, chats, whipped cream, rest, peace, light, the reality of evil, God's love, grace and mercy, Schnieder, wind storms, gathering thunder, rain on skin, joy, talents, teaching, questions, printer issues, the definition of a geek, a tortured rabbit, lo mein, sinkholes, movies, leverage, reality, the power of eyes, the windows of the soul, learning how to cope, church history, Ophelia, late nights, sunrises and sunsets, not avoiding the eggshells, enjoying new friends, trying to say no, starry nights, memories, bitter and sweet goodbyes and hello's, learning to trust people again, the definition of a geek, realising sleep isn't for me, fish, conspiracy theories, silent haters, being ambushed, Kris White, how much I hate surprises, questions that don't need answering and spiritual gifts.
...just learning me.
Well... that's as close as I can get. I hope this gives you an idea.
