Letting go and Getting Ready

We are coming to the end of another great adventure. The adventure of my freshmen year of college, and I can honestly say I do not want it to end. I know I have tons of awesome things in the summer and an amazing Sophomore year awaiting me, but I am not ready to let these memories and times go. There have been so many times that I will never forget from this year.

A first semester filled with finding friends, finding love, building those relationships, movie nights during open dorms, "How I Met Your Mother" marathons, Girl-Hating Parties, Bike rides and broken pedals, Bringin' Sexy Back, and so many more adventures.

To the winter month of January. The times of trying out shows, going to Indianapolis, endless amounts of time with the one I loved, Endless amounts of free time, the dreaded two classes that will have nothing to do with my major or future career, and crazy times of shenanigans.

Then to this semester that is coming to  a close. Spring. Life as a single man again. Adventures with One Way, late night Wal-Mart/Taco Bell runs, Adventures getting lost in Columbus, Learning Spiritual disciplines, New found friendships, A week in Orlando FL doing missions, The many friendships I made there, Bean dip, applying for Admissions...and not getting it, watching a movie I swore I never would, watching beautiful relationships prosper and fail, reading great books, and so many adventures.

I could not have asked for a better first year of college and I know the rest will hold many amazing adventures. I know the wait through summer with all that's going on will be fun and worth it, but I am not ready to say goodbye to this dorm. To these friends for three months. To anything. This is the one downfall to living six hours away.

This is a great time to just trust in the Lord. There will be other summers where I will not be spending them at home, but I promised to spend this one at home because I need money for school. I need to trust the Lord that He has a great plan for me. Lead me Lord. Direct me as I embark on this next chapter of the book.

Where am I now?

In this timeline we call life there are many acts of confusion that we go through. Sometimes we are not sure what direction one should take so we take a leap of faith. Sometimes that leap of faith works, yet other times it does not. What should one do in that tragedy of a leap? It would seem to be easiest to just talk to those involved and get away from the situation, but that could only hurt. I do not want to hurt anyone and yet I do not know how far I can go with this. I started with good intentions, but where am I now?
