well, well, well...livejournal it is.
Oh Man. Livejournal and I have been distant these days. Mostly because I'm lazy and just read everyone else's post. Anyways, I felt like I should post one last time before I become an offical college student. Is that crazy to anyone else that this time tomorrow i'll be living on campus at Maryville in my own little room with my own little room mate on my own little hall? Crazy. It's really strange to me. I feel old enough to be out of high school, but not old enough for college yet. I'm really just ready to be there. I'm tired of the wierd in between stage and i'm not really nervous yet...but definitely anxious to be on my way, meeting my room mate, getting things done...and just to have the beginning of it over.
I'm a little sad, my new - tricked out - powerbook won't be shipped until maybe the 31. Apple.com said it would be shipped at the latest then...maybe sooner. Not that big of a deal, because I can odviously hop on other peoples computers and/or the ones at school. But I really just want it...i'm so excited to pull that little puppy out of it's box and turn it on. I wish I would have gotten it earlier so I could mess around some, but maybe i'll get lucky and it'll show up before next Wednesday (when classes start).
So yeah, I don't really know what to say. It doesn't feel like summer should be over yet. I feel like family camp wasn't long ago...I feel like God put Malibu on my heart two days ago...not a year and a half ago...I feel like I started senior year last month (praise the Lord I didn't)...and all sorts of other stuff. It all went by fast. It's crazy and doesn't seem real that graduation is over, that work crew has come and gone, i'm offically no longer a youth at church,I spent a week in Florida w/ two of my favorites, I worked a missions trip, and now August 23rd is almost here. I don't understand why, but I've noticed lately that the longer away something seems - the quicker it's over. If that made any sense. But that's ok. This summer has made me stop in the middle of life zooming past and be thankful for the goodness in and through it all. I've learned so much about the Lord this summer. I don't think I can even voice it all; I don't think I know how to voice it all. Alot of the things I learned have been about knowledge or a feeling. One of those things when you even try to explain what you mean you feel tears gathering in your eyes...or you get that funny lump in your throat - mostly because you know what He taught you was real, something true, something your mind didn't convince you of hearing - but something every ounce of your being heard. I heard alot this summer. I know alot after this summer. And i'm glad. I know that because of where God placed me this summer, this fall will go in a different direction...or maybe just a more consistent one. Oh, what a good summer. I haven't been around many people much - but the ones I spent my time with was great. Lots of great memories...rolling houses, nakedness, boat parties, talks about mine & others hearts, discovering friendships that had never been taken full advantage of...and making up for that lost time, a new truck, dave matthews band with a best friend, and really just feeling ready to move all from all of that...all of this. I couldn't stand to be in Chattanooga w/ everything the same for one more year. So God willing (and odviously so...seeing that Maryville is paid for) college will be some good years seeing how all of the above has sent me up and pointed me only in that direction. Here we go.
