So here is a photo from the night of my friend Hilary’s graduation. Isn’t she cute?

Oh well… I think that we all grow up way too soon.

Sometimes I just wish we could live life without other people having all of these expectations about what you should be doing with your life. I wish I didn’t have to feel like I am sneaking around certain people or trying to avoid the subject. Somehow it makes me more scared of the future, thinking about it more, even questioning things that I had never before needed to question. Maybe it’s good for me; maybe I am growing from the “experience”.

Whatever it is that the Lord needs me to learn, I know that it isn’t for naught. For everything there is a season and in everything there is a reason.

Sometimes I wonder how we could all know that we are really saved and not just acting out of passion in the moment. That is where I have the biggest problem; not having passion in the moment, but wondering what might happen in years to come. I have seen in the lives of others people who walked away from a life that was full with the fruit of obedience and service. And I can’t help but wonder if that might be me in future times. I have no intention of giving up what He has so richly blessed me with. But does anybody else? I really think that praying and staying close to the Lord can and will help prevent this disaster.
