On pondering a little further and spending time with friends...
I am still frustrated with the theatre department. I still feel betrayed and am glad that I don't have to enter that building again until next September.
I still feel as though I've been living in the desert this year, but I also see the ways God has been providing for my needs.
I have started the brainstorming process anew for thesis next year, and I'm really excited to have the freedom to do whatever I want. Throw a benefit concert? Direct a play? Write a play? Develop an arsenal of worthwhile Christian dramas and skits? All of the above? We'll see. I am so blessed to have this opportunity to follow my passions and see where they take me, and I need to remember that.
I am reminded of the incredible men and women of God that this year's senior class holds. I will miss them (you, if you are reading this) greatly, but more importantly I praise God for creating and caring for each of them, for bringing them into my life for this season, and for guiding them on into lives bent on following Him. May His hand be always with them, may His love ever motivate them, and may they grow richer in their knowledge of Him throughout all the days of their lives.
I am comforted that everything will be alright. My heart-wrenching recognition of myself as a failure helps me to understand something more of God's grace. My paralyzing reluctance to say goodbye shows me that God has blessed me with friendships worth fighting for. And my uncertainty as I look to the future brings me once again to my knees, to a place of quietness and humility before the throne of God above. I can imagine no better place.
