Wow, another year already?!

I'm turning 18 in like...12 days. Wow, I know I've said this way too many times, and it's getting somewhat redundant, but time really does fly. One year ago, at this time, I was getting ready to go on outreach. One year ago, I wasn't really thinking about graduating or university. A year ago, a lot of things were different. Summer changed a couple of things for me. Thank you, to those that have been here for me. I know I'm opinionated and sometimes, unfortunately judgmental, but thank you for sticking around. As I am almost ready to close this chapter of my life, I'm also so excited about new beginnings, although life never stops and it's merely a continuation, this change is going to be good. I can't imagine what next year is going to look like, but I imagine it to be just as amazing all these other years.
I think one of the most important things I learned these past two years is to keep going. I don't take failures so seriously anymore, because these little failures don't define me, and I certainly shouldn't let them dictate my life. I learned that life is truly bigger than that. When life is smooth, it's great and I love it, but when it's not, I know that I'm not alone. God, thank you for never leaving me and teaching me that there is more to life than what the world has to offer me. Sometimes, I do complain about school, but I know when I look back on it, man am I going to miss it. I will never forget the memories and friendships that have been blessed to me.
PC, open your heart to God. I know that you're so busy with skating and all these exciting things that your future holds, but He is the only thing that won't change. Going to be continually praying because I know that He can work in miraculous ways, and I believe that He will work wonders in your life if you let Him.
I thought it was so cool that at church, they got us to write "what God has done in our lives" and "what we want Him to do" on a piece of paper and literally, laying it at the cross. I guess that's what it is, coming to the foot of the cross. I know there's so much I have to work on, but I'm glad I have my eyes on the right goal. There really is more to life than this:)



I guess I should get back to work.
