"It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age"

   Hey Everyone!! Welcome to the new blog. I'm at an important part of my life; with high school ending, getting ready to go to Haiti, moving to CWU...I don't wanna forget a second! So I figured, what better way to remember then blog? :) I'm not sure how often I'll be able to write, but we'll see how it goes.
   Introductions out of the way, allow me a small moment to freak out: ONE MORE DAY!!!! One more day and I'm finished with high school and my RCS career. Its weird, the anticipation of something you've waited so long to achieve. But with this comes many goodbyes, many endings, many things I will dearly miss. It's got me nostalgic, replaying countless memories in my head. As excited as I am for this new beginning in college,  I am also sad to see this era of my life  end. What did I leave behind? What did I do in my high school years that actually mattered? Because in reality, the only thing that matters is what was done for Christ. As we talked about in the YAC girls Bible study tonight, making his Kingdom "tangible here on earth." Loving others and serving. That's what we're here for! I know this is what I strived to do junior and senior year. I also know this is far from what I strove for freshman and sophomore year. I may have done some good, but definitely not as much as I could've.
   So, were these past four years a waste? I pray not, but I'll let God decide. I hope that I left an impression on at least one person, just one. An impression that inspires them to follow Christ with all they are. To me, that would make it all worth it. I hope by God's grace that I succeeded.
   Graduation. A time to look back at the past. A time to look forward to new beginnings. A time to enjoy the ride. :)
