The family has been busy getting things ready for my open house on the 12th (if anyone needs info leave a comment). We have been cleaning and baking and it is showing on my nails.
It will go from 4pm to 8pm, and the plan is to have an inflatable bouncy castle. However the weather report at this point says there will some showers. I am praying God will keep my party dry.
This evening I went to an open house for some childhood friends, in fact we were all in fifth grade together. It didn't hit me until then that we were all really growing up.
I mean, as a home schooler you don't really get the "done with high school" feeling because you don't leave. Furthermore, since I am taking a gap year and will spend the first bit at home, I don't even have college to get ready for.
This does not mean I am not going to college, I AM GOING TO COLLEGE. It has been necessary . to clarify that lately. I am going to college, I know where I am applying, and I have an idea of what I want to study. A gap year does not mean I am ignoring college or any other of my future plans (and I do have any).
Anyways. I haven't had the goodbyes to classmates or finishing up final school projects (finishing up was put on hold until after the 12th) like other kids in my grade. However listening to how happy these guys were to be done with high school and moving on, I realized I am in the same boat.
My life is moving forward. My future is this huge empty abyss that I can fill with whatever I want. My hopes and dreams are beginning to take form.
I really am excited.
I trusted in God by taking a gap year like he was calling me to be. And I am trusting in him now by leaving my plans open for him to work. By doing this I now I have started off on the right foot concerning my future. I am following God, even though I don't fully know where I am going.
On a different note. Ryan and I took a walk last weekend and this is what I came up with.
