some of you may know, but most of you probably do not, that i have made the decision to attend college in the fall and go on to get my elementary education degree. this was an extremely hard decision for me, as i am a terrible case of stubborn mixed with a little (alright, a lot) of pride.
i really didn't think that college was apart of any of my future plans, which i was completely fine with, since i can't stand school and don't like the idea of paying to do something i dread.
but then, God laid this passion on my heart that i ignored, over and over again, until i couldn't stand it anymore. and that is when my best friend stepped in.
basically jud told me to get over myself and do what i've gotta do to pursue all that God has for me. and that led to this peaceful feeling i've been walking around with since.
and it is certainly a peace that passes understanding - because i don't understand how i'm not dreading school now, and i don't understand God's goodness throughout this process. even after i've made my decision, people that didn't even know i was going to be a teacher have said, "so, what're you going to be? a teacher?" and i'm thinking, "dang straight that's what i'm going to be."
i like having a plan. i like being passionate about my future. and i love having a best friend that encourages me to pursue things that i thought were unpursueable (yes, i will continue to use such words well into my teaching career) due to my pathetic handicaps.
this calls for a praise the sweet baby Jesus.
