Life as I know it--today.

Note: this post isn't about anyone, nor does it contain anything profound. sooo, if you aren't interested in my random rambling about how i feel about life at this exact moment-- you might want to sit this one out.

Im at work right now. Every post that I have written so far has been at work--because I get bored out of my flipping mind. Anyway, that isn't the point. The point is that I do most of my thinking while I am at work. It is like an open opportunity for my thoughts to go hay wire and don't worry, they seize the opportunity. Once I let my mind start going... it won't stop. Maybe this blog will help, maybe it won't. BUT none the less

it keeps me occupied for a little while... and so it i

s well worth it.

The countdown for graduation is now at 38 days. Crazy, I know.

I am really trying to seize each moment, yes moment, that I have with my friends. I can't stand the thought of our lives going separate ways, even though I know it will be best for everyone. It will be so exciting to see how each person grows and to see what each of us will do with this life given to us. But it is still sad knowing that it will n

ever be like this again-- 58 students joined as classmates and as friends out to conquer the world. (the small brook hill world, that is). I think that I had more "junioritis" than I have senioritis. I only say this because I remember at the end of last year being pretty miserable and looking for every excuse in the book to not attend school. And even though I am definitely excited and ready to graduate, im not miserable and I actually enjoy going to school. I think this is because I know that I only have 38 days left of doing it and like I said earlier, I am really trying to seize each moment that I have left of being a Brook Hill student.

our first day of Senior year.

So everything that involves graduating is naturally on my mind. But another thing that fills my thoughts daily is the summer that is planned for me... which mind you starts in about 45 days.

I will be a Baby Ruth this summer at Pine Cove Christian Camps in my hometown of Tyler, Texas. This is a discipleship program for graduating Seniors that lasts 5 weeks. I will start May 30th and be done July 3rd. I am so excited about what God is going to do in my life during these 5 weeks, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I have heard stories from past baby ruths about life-changing experiences, and I hope that I will have some of my own to share by the time July 3rd roles around. Although I am unsure of how much enjoyment I will receive from this discipleship time, one thing I know for sure is that I want to be radically changed and transformed into a more Godly woman with a burning desire to know Christ more. So if you are reading this, pray for just that. That this summer as a Baby Ruth, whatever that entails, will be a time of growth for me, mentally, relationally, and especially spiritually.

Ok, the rambling has to stop now.

Leaving you with excitement, curiosity, and even some nerves as the next 38 days play out.
