The Tringle

This semester has been the hardest yet. I've been utterly overwhelmed with school, work, Epsilon, family, friends...everything. I've been lazy when it comes to my spiritual life, but I feel so renewed as of late. I've been praying continually throughout the semester, and that's about all that's helped me hold it together. But just within the past week, I can tell that I'm drawing nearer to Him and He to me. I'm really working on my life and focusing more on seeing things through my "eternal goggles" rather than seeing things in the here and now. I'm working on seeing the big picture, in light of eternity. I have several people in my life who I can tell are changing me for the better. It's like the whole triangle philosophy where two people are at the bottom two corners and God is at the top. I'm being encouraged, challenged, and forced to rely on God thorough these friendships, and I'm so thankful.

I have many fears when it comes to moving to Thailand. One fear is finding out who my real friends are. Sadly, I'm perfectly content living in blissful ignorance when it comes to that, but I know I need to find out sooner or later. Both of my friends, Caleb and Rebekah, told me to look at it as an opportunity, rather than be afraid of it. Deep down, I know they're right, but it's still scary to think that I'm going to leave with tons of "friends" and come back in two months with only a few. I'm sure I will be thankful for that knowledge in the long run, but I know the process of finding out who really cares about me will be hard. I guess only time will tell.

I'm out.
Cwalk.
