Tonight is my last summer night as an undergraduate college student. Wow. Where did the time go? On one hand, I am extremely excited to move back in to school tomorrow. I will get to be with my friends out there again, I will get to take some meaningful major-specific classes, and I will get to begin my endeavor as the Student Body Vice President of Finance. It's shaping up to be a great year; I can feel it in my bones. On the other hand, it is a bit surreal. In seemingly no time at all, another summer has come and gone faster than ever before. It is almost a little impossible to believe that it is yet again that time of year.
This summer was definitely a great one. I had some great times with my family, my friends, and my church family. Work was even pretty awesome this summer. Actually, I would go so far as to say that this summer was my favorite summer of work yet. And, in the last month to month and a half, I feel as if my relationship with the Lord has taken off in a fantastic way like never before, and I hope that the fire keeps burning. It is a truly exciting time right now, and I am more than optimistic about where my God and King plans to take me in the upcoming weeks, not to mention the upcoming months.
As my last year of college (possibly ever) begins tomorrow, I am looking forward to growing with the Lord in ways that I have not yet been able to grow. I am looking forward to living with some of my best friends and growing with them throughout our last year of school together. I am also looking forward to leaving a positive, lasting impact on my school through serving in student government. Lastly, I am looking forward to further developing into an individual who can be hired in today's workforce who displays proven character, integrity, honesty, and a willingness to work diligently.
Tonight marks the beginning of the final stretch of an important chapter in my life. I hope and pray that I savor every day of it. It is going to be a fun ride, and I am ready to strap in and take off. I plan on posting to this blog a little more regularly in the coming weeks to expound upon what God has filled my life with, but only time will tell if that will actually happen (seeing as my track record for consistent posting falls along the lines of "meh"). Nevertheless, I am ready to run the race marked out for me, and I know that God will be with me every step of the way.
