Now that my grad party is over, It's really kicked in. I only have 8 days left of high school. This is my last full week of school, and I won't be going back in the fall. It's exciting, scary, and makes me feel like I'm choking. As much as I'm ready to move on, I've been going to school with these guys for 6 years now. 6 years. That's a long time, and I've gotten used to seeing them in the hallways. It doesn't help that I leave for camp the day after I graduate, but at least then I have less time to think about it. It's crazy to think that, in the fall, I'll actually be at Bethel. As long as I've dreamed about it, been excited for it, and counted down the days - I didn't ever really think it'd get here. College was something that happened to old people, not me. As a kid I used to think my Senior Counselors were SO old and that there was no way I'd ever be THAT old, and here I am. Going into my third summer at Hidden Acres as a Senior Counselor, and extremely blessed to have the opportunity to come back again.
This year has been amazing. As I look back at the place I was standing in at the beginning of the year, I've grown SO much. At the beginning of the year, I had kind of disconnected from a lot of friends over the summer - so I went into the year feeling lonely, but God filled that hole. I learned to rely on God's strength instead of my own, and that even if I wouldn't have any friends (which I did) that God was there for me and he'd be my friend no matter what. Once I learned that lesson God blessed me with the most amazing friends ever! Becky Howe, Katie Swanson, and Terra Boston - I love you girls! It's been such an awesome year with a solid group of friends through youth group and small group, and now that it's time for the year to be over - I'm sad to see it go. I'm going to miss you guys so, so much when I go to college! Just thinking about it makes me want to skip college and stay at home, but I know that's not what God wants me to go -- so I'll journey on to the new, scary, unknown. I can honestly look back and say this has been my favorite year of high school so far. I'm trying not to think of it as the end, but as the beginning. The beginning of my next stage in life instead of the end of another. God is good, and his plans for me are SO much better than I can even imagine, I'm excited to see where he's taking me.
