so tomorrow morning i load up the car and head back to tulsa. it's so surreal. and i'm halfway through with college. that's very surreal. camp stuff starts tomorrow afternoon when i get home. i'm really excited about it but tired at the same time. i can't wait to get outside and have fun, though! bring it on.
tonight has been a little emotional. i can't quite place my finger on it. perhaps it's all the transitions...
what a year! i have grown so much. man, what a process. you never know what the Lord has in store for you...
i just want to express my deep gratitude for civ class at obu. never have i been challenged so much and learned so much. dr. sanders and dr. myers are amazing, and i am so grateful for them. the last two days of class were wonderful. emotional even. we discussed a chalkboard full of issues in the world today and then discussed how we as christians are to approach them. sanders told us that if we each picked an area to help in, we could do so much to help. one of the things on the board really stuck out to me (it was something that i experienced over spring break), and it reignited a passion inside of me to follow through with it after graduation.
i know not everyone has the same opinion i do about civ, but i loved it. it was really hard. but i feel so accomplished now. and have a new outlook on the world.
okay, that was really gushy. but i had to get it out. hope you all are enjoying your summer break. i will be joining you in that tomorrow. |
