Ok. So am I excited about graduation, or am I afraid to leave a very comfortable atmosphere? One in which I have tons of friends who accept me for who I am and respect my decision to follow Christ whether they have made that same decision or not. An environment where I never have too much "stuff" to worry about, even when I make life out to be stressful and difficult. An atmosphere in which I have amazing people who disciple me and help me to grow.

I like how our emotions follow exactly what we are thinking in our minds. It is really stupid. Here I am thinking about all of the things that I will be leaving, and not thinking about all of the amazing things that God has for me next year. Your emotions are responders....they only RESPOND to what is going on inside of your head. If error or completely false thinking is going on, your emotions react to that false thinking as truth, when in all reality it isn't.

I doubt any of this made any sense...but it's clear as anything to me.

Well I feel like I need to update, but there are way too many things going on in my head to pick one or two and write about them. But an underlying message recently seems to be that God's plan for my life is definitely going to take me out of my comfort zone. The sooner I accept that, the easier this will all be.....

There is this elderly couple that I take care of their lawn, trees, and other jobs for. Well yesterday spent about 4 1/2 hours trimming their trees and putting the limbs out for the trash people to take on Tuesday. Well there was a bit of a storm last night and I received a phone call. I had to go and move all of the branches off of Homestead(which is a street near theirs) and back next to the sidewalk because they had blown away during the night. And then I received some very funny looks from people driving by as I was sweeping off the street with a broom when it was all finished. I'm sure that looked peculiar.
