The future...

That's a word that has been rattling around in my head a lot lately. The future... It's so exciting, yet intimidating. It's the great journey that my mighty God has layed out for me, but it's also the darkest of roads. As I get ready to start an entire new section of my life filled with life, love, school, and the "future" I have been planning for all my life, it's...A weird sensation. It's like skydiving for your first time... It's a rush, and exciting... But before you have done it, your scared out of your wits about it. In all of this, I am trying to rely on God to help me get through my progression into adulthood with ease...But I know it won't be simple. As all of my friends are starting to go away to the schools of their choice, I can only wonder how my friendship with them will continue. I hope all the bonds I have grown to have will stay. I know there will be some friends who will stick through it all, as they are the people I fully trust and rely on for support, but I just hope the strength of our frienships will stick through... No matter where life brings us. As for love, I hope that whoever God puts me with, will be a firm guidence in this journey.

As I look upon this journey, all I can think now is of the character Christian in the book Pilgrims Progress. As he faced turmoil and turmoil, the thought of the end helped him get through. And because of it, when he got to the Celestial City, he was accepted with much rejoicing. In my journey that I am hoping to be like Christian. Knowing that no matter the struggles that I go through will be fully worth it in my end when I get to see my heavenly Father. But still, as I am beginning the last major journey of my life, it scares me... It's so...Untravelled and different. In Ecclesiastes 8:7 it says: Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come? What I pray is that even if I don't know the future, I will still have the strength to fully rely on God to get me through whatever I do... This is a prayer that I have for me and all of my friends. I guess my final words are to just be faithful, and true to God, and the future will be whatever His will is for you. As I think about this future, I can only hope my prayer will be the same as this: Psalms 25:2, In you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

...Mm hmm

I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in your touch
I know that you're scared
But you've never been this loved (mm hmm)

It's a long shot, baby,
I know it's true.
But if anyone can make it,
I'm bettin' on me and you. (mm hmm)

Just keep on moving into me,
I know you're gonna see
The best is yet to come

And don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But we're never giving up
Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love

Everybody's looking
For what we've found
Some wait their whole life
And it never comes around. (uu huhh)

So don't hold back now.
Just let go of all you've ever known
You can put your hand in mine.

And don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But we're never giving up
Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love

I close my eyes and i see you standing right there
Sayin 'i do' and they're throwing the rice in our hair.
Well the first one's born
And a brother comes along,
And he's got your smile.
I've been looking back on the life we had
I'm still by your side.

So don't fear it now,
We're going all the way.
That sun is shining on a brand new day.
It's a long way down
And it's a leap of faith
But I'm never givin up
Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love.

Search my heart, search my mind, search my soul
Make me clean, make me new make me whole

All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design
'Cause You are the one who can make my life complete
You are the one who can give light to my feet
You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away for me

You are my strength, You are my God, you are my King
You make me laugh, You make me dance, You make me sing

Everything inside, everything outside, I give it all away
You never change, but You rearrange my heart more everyday

Till Kingdom Come by Coldplay

Still my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time
My time has come
Let me in
Unlock the door
I never felt this way before

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don’t know which way I’m going
I don’t know which way I’ve come

Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I’ve waited all these years

For you I’d wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
I wouldn’t change a single thing
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don’t know which way I’m going
I don’t know what I’ve become

For you I’d wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

So if you have an iPod Touch and/or iPhone and like strategy games, get the app UniWar. It's a VERY fun strategy game to play if you are bored and want to goof off for a minute. Plus it has a lot of online gaming capabilities. Well yeah, that's my sales speech of the day.

So I have found out this weekend that a nice camera=LOTS of space used on a hard-drive. I have so far used about 20g just on this single trip in just camera pictures. Honestly it's getting rediculous. I really need to invest in a 1tb brick for this camera because without it my hard-drive will be completely full in a couple weeks. Maybe I should just cut back on taking pictures?... Nnnaaaahhh...
