Simple Thoughts

One down, 3 more to go...

Oh Happy Day! I finished my first year at MSOE without a scratch and still kicking! It really is exciting to think I am on my way. Next thing you know, my parents will be crying cause one of their kids actually graduated college. Well, considering I only lasted a year at the 2 other colleges I've been at, keep your fingers crossed. :) J/K!

It's officially summer and I'm officially done with my freshman year. Tomorrow, I'm heading off to Cedar for our Chapter Focus Week. I've only heard very good things about this place and I am looking forward to some quiet time away from the fast paced college life where I can really look back and reevaluate what has happened this past year. I know you should never rely on something like a camp or a convention to bring you closer to God, but I know this will be a good time for me to look at where I've come to over the past year and look at where God is leading me. Plus, it's not school, I don't have to do homework, and I get to be around my good friends. I couldn't ask for a better start to the summer.

It's been awhile since my last post, and things have definitely been hectic. Overall, the year has been a continual learning experience, as all of life should be. I've had my ups and downs, but God has been faithful to this child of His. I've learned about faith, forgiveness, trust and love, along with a host of other things I don't have time to get into at the moment. I am looking forward to what God has in store for me the rest of my time at MSOE. I know it'll just fly by...
