im not ashamed to admit that because i am the only loser left in town i went to the high school today to listen to network.
first and foremost i must congratulate them on how hard they are working and how amazing they ALREADY sound. it makes me jealous, honestly, but God helped me become happy for them instead. so...i am really happy for all of you.
second of all, while they were singing i realized how much i have already changed over these three months that i have been out of school--and I haven't even gone to college yet. God has taken my life this summer and shaped it in order to get me ready for college, and I am so thankful for that. For a second I felt like someone looking into a fishbowl of students just swimming around in a bowl, worrying about nothing but matching shoes and tests. I know that sounds kind of harsh, but I know it's true because that's what I was. We get so caught up in going with the flow (along with the fish metaphor, haha) that we don't realize how God wants to shape us into our own selves outside the fishbowl. So when the bell rang and everyone swam to their next class, I walked out of the building into the beautiful day that was created. And praised the Lord for His love of the individual.
and in other news. i leave sweet home alabama and move to...mississippi...in 46 hours.
and im off to play n64 with my sister. what a day :)
im lovin it.
