He didn't stay in the grave, and He's not staying in heaven forever.

Because I'll be there,
and then I'll be gone.

I could never stay in one
place for too long.



So I decided that eventually I'll post some of my entries from my journal. The one without lines... Which is kind of annoying. But it's purchase helped children in Yuganda, so why not?


Anyway, a lot of the entries from that journal will eventually be posted.
Censored to a degree, however, since I'd rather not express all of my thoughts here.
I'm just not open enough to write down everything.


It's the story of the trials and journies, the battles, good and bad. Conflict and community. An account of God's work. Tales, mostly not exaggerated... God's glory from and unusual source, an unlikely perspective.


^^ That was my original plan for my blog.
I can honestly say I haven't really stuck to that outline.
Mostly the focus on God part. I really haven't done a good job
of that in everyday life, not just my blog. Its true that I never
really expressed that intention. I still feel the need to apologize
for it. Whether or not it's to comfort me, isn't important.


So, sophomore year is over. I am so happy.
But in a really weird way, I'm kind of sad...
I don't think I could explain it in a way anyone would understand.

Guess it's time for another end of the year thing.



TOP TEN MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE THIS YEAR.

1. Jesus. Pretty sure He should always be number one on my list.
2. Kenny Hollingsworth. He's so completely different than the norm. It's pretty much amazing. He's usually there to give me a spiritual boost:)
3. Corey Farr. He's always there for me, even if that means waking up at four in the morning rofl. He's a good kiddo.
4. Matt Jenkins. He doesn't know it but he always makes me laugh. He's funny and somewhat intelligent ;P He makes my day.

I am so pumped for Reckless camp. Stoked, even. You have no idea.

So after writing all of that, and looking at my blog about the end of the last school year, I finally realize how much things change over time. When you take it day by day, it doesn't seem like anything has, but when you look back, everything has. With change comes pain. But with pain comes strength. And once again as I said last year, I am even stronger than I was last year.

I wasn't as emotional as last year, and I was a lot less dependant on people. I think this year was worth it ;)
