Inspired

I’ve been writing a lot lately, and often wondering why. We talked about it in my comp lit class the other week, the writer’s intentions that is, and I’ve been thinking about what my intentions are. If I’m writing all these things down, but nobody reads them, why do I do it? Is it because I’m selfish? Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe, just maybe, I should try sharing my thoughts.

This whole blog idea always seemed kind of weird to me…a sort of xanga-like experience. Xanga, by the way, was a complete documentation of my key awkward years, and who wants to re-visit those, right? Moving on.

This post goes out to you L. Web, my inspiration for blogging.  Why not share with others what has been going on in my life?  If I’m excited about it, I want other people to be too!  Right now is such an exciting time for all of us, ending the year, the anticipation of summer.  But it’s also a little bittersweet.

I’ve made so many wonderful friends this year, and grown in so many ways that I could never have imagined back in August.  The bittersweet part is not seeing them on a daily basis over the summer.  It’s going to be really hard, but I know deep down in my heart (some days deeper than others) that God’s plans for me this summer are important, that (finally) finding a job at home was a sign that I am meant to be there.  I’ll miss Athens more than I ever expected I would, and no doubt will put up a Pineview countdown in my room at home, but I know that’s where I’m supposed to be: home.

To all of you who I won’t see these next few months: I love you.  Yes you.  The friendships I have made this year are the ones that I know will last forever.  You know who you are.  And know this: I will be counting down the days until I get to see you all again, and praying for your respective summer missions.  The Lord has put you where you belong, and He will show you what you are meant to do there.
