Hmm ... it's interesting to see how fast life goes sometimes. I've been doing a lot of reflection lately, not really on purpose, but it just comes up because of some of the writing I am doing. I can't believe I'm 21. I remember playing house in our basement and wishing I was 17. Sometimes I still feel like I'm 17, and other days I think I'm 35. It's awesome how God is always faithful to bring us through good times and trouble into the place we are right now.
It really hit me this week that I will most likely be graduating in a year. Up until about the beginning of this week, I had been content to take an extra semester because I thought I had no option. Now that I realize it is possible for me to graduate on time, I'm kind of freaking out. I feel the speed of life more surely than ever before. I'm excited as well. For the first time, I think I will actually feel like a part of my age group/class. I've always been one step ahead or one step behind and knowing that I will be graduating with them is more exciting than I thought it would be.
I didn't walk at my high school graduation. I was in Fiji during commencement having graduated early to do mission work for the second semester. I didn't think it bothered me, and it really didn't. I would not change my decision for anything, but now that I'm looking at the prospect of participating in commencement with people that I actually know (finally I have friends!) I am so stoked! haha.
I don't know if it's the weather or the fact that I'm finally socializing beyond just a conversation in class, or even just the fact that I feel on track -- maybe it's a bit of all three -- but I just feel like I'm on top of the world. Which means I need to be careful because usually a quick decent follows this feeling. For now though, I will rejoice in the Lord and praise Him for this wonderful time in my life! =]
