this week is going to be good. i have something fun everyday, and its the last week of classes. everything is winding down, and ending which will mean that things will begin again anew. tomorrow im going to the steeles house for dinner and a movie and finish up this semester's bible study. im so glad that things are going better, and their support in my life is so important to me. i want to make a difference in the lives of their teenage daughters, because there is so much more out there for them, than what they are doing now. i know that things were weird for a stretch but having those hard conversations are so good for my soul for some reason. i dont know why they love me as unconditionally as they do, but its my family away from my family at home.
im excited to go home. kinda. i wish certain people were going to be there to hang out and be together again, but the list of people i want to see gets shorter and shorter. there are the friends that you enjoy seeing but its work to catch up everything with them. and then there are the people where its absolutely effortless, and so refreshing to be around. i long to see them again.
even though i wouldnt say im at the pinnacle of happiness here in bloomington, i think ive reached the point of time where it feels more like home than ann arbor. i wasnt sure if i was ever going to get there, i didnt know if it would come. not like i was waiting with anticipation, i just didnt know if i would be one of those people. its a great city, and a great university atmosphere, but its just so different to be there now. perhaps this is why those few remaining close effortless friendships are so important to me, and so comforting to be around. come home soon kyle.
im sad to see the semester end because that means spring semester is here. im excited about my classes, but its going to be so differently academically because this fall was so easy. maybe it wasnt such a good idea to take it easy, cause its going to be a rude awakening. i dont know how amy is going to do the workouts, but i need to be ready. im going to be fighting with freshmen next year and not looking forward to it. i just dont know what its going to be like, and i live in constant fear that my asst coach, my sanity, is going to leave. dont leave gina.
i finished a book called "serious times" that my dad gave me to read. ive been thinking about what to do with my life, and not that this gives me direction, but it gives me perspective. but i especially liked this quote.
"there is only one power that exists on this planet that can
change the human heart. its the power of the love of jesus, the love that
conquers sin
wipes out shame
heals wounds
reconciles enemies
patches broken dreams
and ultimately changes the world, one life at a time. " - james emery white
back to reading. im re-reading lion witch and the wadrobe in anticipation of friday, opening day. so excited. i want to be the next CS Lewis, because he is incredible.
