Looking Back
Well, this summer has been full of lots of changes. A lot of them have happened so fast I don't know what to think.
I moved from Huntsville to Houston to live with my grandparents.
I went from being a volunteer campus missionary to working as an assistant to a real estate agent at Keller Williams.
I went from really like a completely wonderfuly guy who I couldn't date to dating this guy and finding out he is even more wonderful and amazing then I origionally though. Then we developed a fan club because people are so happy we are dating.
I went from seeing Tim every day to a few times a month.
I went from having a crazy social life to starting over and struggling to make friends.
I went from hard cord accountability to only talking to my accountability partner on the phone sometimes.
I went from an okay church with really good friends to a great theologically sound church where I don't know many people.
I went from grunge clothes to business casual.
I went from everything familiar to having to find a new place to fit in.
It has been a process of adjustment. I know that things will get better and worse, I am starting school in two weeks. That will just add stress to my life but at least I really like learning and I want to continue to learn in a classroom so I am excited and nervose since I don't really know what to expect. I also know that God is teaching me alot of patience. Lots and lots of patience. Grandpa once asked me how do you know if you are saved? I told him that you know you are a believer if you desire the things of God more than the things of this world and when the fruits of the Holy Spirit are being developed in your life. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faith, self-control, and goodness. Well, right now God is teaching me patience. It is hard sometimes because I want to do things my way but I know the most loving way is to treat people with gentleness and patience which I guess when I restrain is also self control. So it is definatly a process of becoming more like God.
