It's been a long time coming

It's been a while since I've written an actual post, I know. Does anyone else feel like xanga is getting antiquated? Oh well.

Last night was my last large group meeting as a part of IV anything. I can probably visit, but it's not MY place anymore. That makes me sad. Honestly, the thing that makes me the saddest is the fact that I won't be a regular part of these student's lives anymore--and guys, please let me tell you that these students are AMAZING. Seeing God work in their lives is amazing. I love them so much. But I have to go.

I've been thinking a lot about my life and my growth lately. I'm starting to think about what I want with my life. That very simple task is really hard for me. I feel completely out of my depth. I can't think of any grand plans for my life right now, which is frightening. I always have a 5 year grand master plan. Always. Right now I'm working on something more like a 1 year plan, and let me tell you, it doesn't involve anything master or grand. My life next year has a few simple goals.

1. Learn how to be responsible in the area of finances, giving, being a better roommate, taking care of myself physically, etc. Essentially learning how to be an adult. After all, I am 24 on the 19th of this month.

2. Counseling. I will commit to going to counseling at least once a week in order to work out some of the things that have come up during my time as an intern, and things in my life that needed work before that.

4. Do things I've always wanted to do for myself. Among these things: take a class at Fuller.

3. Grow closer to Jesus. I'll do this through regular Sabbaths, strong participation in community, and outreach/service.

That's what I've got! More later, however. :)
