School Begin= Fall Approaching
I have come to realize that I am in self denial of both school starting back and fall approaching. This is a flaw that I do not want to fix. With the chaos of summer it was not until mid- August that I felt like I was really getting a summer. This summer has led me to things and in areas that I never thought I would go, meeting people that I never will forget.
As I miss Wilmington each day I am away, I am growing to find a new appreciation for it is not the amount of time that you spend with your friends it is the quality of time and the quality of friends that you possess that really make the difference in how fast your time flies.
As I have still been taking pictures all along the journey of this summer, there is also the realization of living in the moment, that though that moment may be captured on film the emotions that came with the event that initial time will never be relived to its full capacity.
There are still many things yet to be checked off the "bucket list" that is always growing, but it is finding time for yourself, for God and for family that has become more pressing than anything. Learning you get one life, one change to make a first impression, and attempting to make that life leave a legacy for others behind me, in return hoping only to make the world a slight better place than it was when I showed up.
There are still things I question everyday, still things I long for and still things that scare the living daylights out of me, but my God is big, my God is strong and my God is Good, and I am learning to rest in those simple yet ever growing complex truths.
As fall approaches and we head into a new season, it is a time for searching, for pressing forward and not settling but finding contentment in knowing God is the only one that knows our plan, our future. Enjoy the leaves, take time to watch them fall, listen to the ocean and try to turn off your cell phone as often as possible.
God is so Good and life is so sweet, if we just lean on him and attempt to make it that way.
