ch-ch-ch-changes

wow... its been a while. In the fewdays after first posting on this blog of mine, I was constantly wanting to return. I had all this inspiration and ideas that I desired to share with the world. In an effort to pace myself and you all I kept telling myself to wait and that posting every day would be far too often. Well, as is common, the zeal of this new blog soon died down and I fell into a pattern of forgetting that I really enjoyed my little corner of the World Wide Web. I have recently grown to miss this space, though, and so I am back... more than a month later.

What brings me here today, though, is not the joy I get out of typing all the little musings in my head out for the world to see but instead both the demands of a friend to return and also some thinking I have been doing. I am currently in Ohio visiting my family during the small amount of my summer break that I will be available to do so. It is almost 3 a.m. Usually I have my sister to entertain me while I am here (Monopoly is a favorite way to postpone sleep), but I have made this visit on my own. Anyway, while I was sitting here avoiding sleep, I was figuring out my class schedule for next semester and trying to decide if I wanted to get a job. Last year around this same time I was rejoicing over my lack of finals and searching the mall for a dress for graduation.

Things change fast.

Now, I've always known all along that big changes were headed my way and as I wrote in my college application essay, I feel that my life has been defined by change. Meaning, the most monumental pattern in my life is that I don't have one... the big, important things in my life have been through so much change in the little time of 18 years. Well, I guess everyone's life involves a lot of change, right? And how exciting would one's life been if nothing changed?

I don't know... I guess I am in a place in my life where everything withing a few years either has changed, is changing, or will change. Family, school, friendships, thoughts on God, opinions, passions, goals, you name it...

The thing is, I'm not really a fan of change. And because of this I am constantly getting kicked in the butt because change is happening and I just have to get over it, right? It is interesting how much change scares me considering that I have never really known many concrete things in my life. Alone from my God, few things have been true throughout my entire life. But He is there, and He is faithful, and He is so so GOOD.

ha. sorry if this is confusing. or boring. I feel like I am abusing this blog as just a place for my thoughts to ramble. Maybe that was it's purpose all along.

Oh, also... I mentioned a busy summer. I am working at Camp Glisson for ten whole weeks these next few months. I will be hanging out with kids, playing outside, learning about the Lord, making new friends, and loving every minute of it! Write please...
