Two, To and Too

Well, today marks the official two more weeks of school! It's hard to believe and it still hasn't completely sunk in (even though I have received an official 'graduates only' invitation to breakfast with the President (oh yeah!). Change is quickly approaching but I am beginning to understand that it is possible that I cannot actually control everything. My family always told me I was a control freak but I never believed them...I think they may have been right. But living through the ups and downs of college has made me realize that I can't control everything and that that is actually okay, believe it or not! Everything changes; sometimes things change for the good and sometimes they change for the worse. But whether the change is good or bad, there is always something to be learned. So that is pretty much where I stand as of today. My life is an emotional roller coaster at the moment so tomorrow might bring on an entirely new and different attitude.

If you are following my other blog hopeatjovenes.blogspot.com, then you already know that in less than two months I will be on a plane to El Zamorano, Honduras where the Jovenes en Camino is located. My best friend LauraBeth is going with me and we are going to spend 2 1/2 months ministering to the boys at Jovenes and becoming an intricate part of their lives. Just preparing for this journey has got me thinking about where I want to go with my future. I would love to do a lot of writing while I am there. One thing that I am increasingly becoming more and more passionate about is writing a collection of poetry about my time in Honduras and working to get it published. I haven't always been a poet, but thanks to Lipscomb university and their wonderful English program I have been introduced to a subject (poetry) that I think I am pretty good at and would like to pursue.

The final thing that I feel the need to write about is my new puppy, Belle who is just too cute! We got her two days ago and she is only 7 weeks old. She is the tiniest little thing and she will only grow to about 5 or 6 pounds. Belle is a Maltese and is already spoiled rotten. So Benji has a new sister, he would have loved her, I just know it!

Well that's all for now!

God Bless
