it's

really quite awesome
when you have so many good things going on
that you can't fit even
an ounce of the joy
into a blog.

it feels so good to be alive
i'm so happy i have people i love, and love to be around, and who love me
i'm so happy i have a chance to feel it all

this might sound corny, but after windy gap and Lakeshore, i've decided that whatever God has planned for me is gonna be a much better adventure than anything i could think up
and so from now on i'm going to do my best to live that adventure
and i feel like that's going to take a lot more courage than my own plans would.
and i feel like that's going to take me places my own mind can't even dream of right now.

before, i felt like "GOD'S PLAN" would box me in
but i've come to think that my own little schemes would never come close to the fullness of life God can show me, or how much life i could give through Him
this is partly because, most of the greatest times in my life have come from people trying their hardest to live God's plan, or map, or whatever He has
yeah, i know it's kind of corny, but there it is
and i'm ecstatic.
