Exciting Weekend.
As I'm gearing up for my small, short trip to Grand Rapids for a college visit this weekend, tonight was worth the time to stay home. A time to do nothing for once after being really stressed and busy this week and reflect on the past couple of weeks and reflect on God. I feel refreshed after this week. Enlightened. It's crazy to think about the future ahead of me and to think that one year from this exact time, I will probably be sitting in a college dorm room with a whole new set of friends. Kinda crazy I think. God has really opened up my eyes this week to show me that I really am growing up. I'll be moving on and instead of trying to graduate high school, I'll be learning and setting myself in place for a career for the rest of my life. People really are right when they say that time flies. 4 years ago, I wouldn't even think of myself being where I am today. It's amazing how God can work in someone so much that it would make them stop and think that they haven't even realized it until now. And lately, I have been so stressed and unfocused on things because I feel like I'm running out of time every time the clock ticks. Tonight was just one of those much needed nights that give you a chance to sit back and reflect on what I am really doing. It's also crazy to think that your encounters with God can be at the strangest of times. Tonight was one of those times.

Thanks Jared. This is really good stuff. I need to sit back and reflect on where God has brought me. It's amazing how He can bring us to incredible places, but we can be so absorbed with other things we don't even see what has happened.
