A year well spent...

Well folks, this will be the last blog I write from this here dorm room. It's a sad thing but not horrible. For those of you going to college soon I say this, move in your first year. Even if you don't have enough money, try to make it possible because it is so worth it. The upside about this is this means I only have two more days of school left. I have 1 final on tuesday and 1 on wednesday and then I'm done. Isn't that wonderful.

What's weird is that this year has been an amazing year and I know, at least for me, there will never be another one like it. First of all, I'm not living at school next year. This will make for one different year at home my sophmore year. I'll definately do better grade wise as I will not have the distractions of dorm life (video games), but this year was so much fun with the guys I got to know that it was great. The girls at North Central are not so good. Well I've met a few nice girls but most of them seem either really snobbish or skankish to me. So that was a downside but the people on my floor rule.

Also something different is the college small group. We all grew so close only to have our group dynamic change so dramtically. First of all Rich is going to Iraq for a year which sucks, and Caleb is moving to Idaho with his family. Who knows what Betsy is going to do but she may be going to some far off country to be a missionary, and Matt is going to Moody this year so he won't be around much. Oh yeah, who all of the seniors that read this from the Rock are sticking around? You guys should try out both the college small group and the Greenroom. They are both sweet.

But change is good people, don't start crying for me just yet. I have a real peace about this year which is good. I got to be a light here and hopefully share the love of Christ through my actions and words. God is definately in control and I know he has a plan for me. I'm looking at the verses I have hanging up above my computer, and one that I really love, it was the first one up there is 1 Peter 1:13,"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." This is a cool verse because for me it really talks about priorities. I love verses where they tell me what to do and this verse talks about preparing for action, keeping sober in spirit (not just not drunk) and then fixing our hope only on Jesus. It's a cool verse what can I say. Well, I hope those of you going to your first year of college have as good of a year as I did.
