If you didn’t notice, my real blog site is down at The Realm of J Small Z! So go check out the reel thang and comment about them! Be honest, and I’d prefer respect, even if what you find to be offensive. A hostile, disrespectful mind goes nowhere society and you may find what I say to be more sane then it looks!
Well, I haven’t really been thinking much about it until we went to Cedar Point, but I realize that my years as a teenager are just about over. I have about 9 months to go, and I’m through being a child! It’s such an odd thought, becoming a “fa reel” adult. I will have my own rights, be able to go to adult clubs (haha), sign up for the military, even get married! I may not be able to drink yet, but it’s still going to be a big step! I am about 350 days away from the beginning of college life! I’ve been waiting for this since I was a kid, but now it seems like it all flew by too fast. I always hear those old geezers saying, “Oh, what it meant to be young.” How long before I start saying the same thing? I guess I can worry about that some other time, when I’m enduring my mid-life crisis.
The College Experience
I am excited to be able to finally get the college experience that I have been longing for for a long time! Honestly, I don’t know what to expect. I’ve seen those cheesy college flicks of partying, sex, alcohol, and drugs. However, I’ve been exposed to another side that is the most unlikely to show up in any movie any time in the future, college students dedicated to Christ and spreading the Gospel to college kids and leading in children’s ministries! I think they’re way cooler then any of those flicks of the hot shot college party boys or stunning college chicks. When you think about those movies, do you really see cool kids who know what’s really cool in college, or do you see selfish drunkards and stoners trying to screw with those who aren’t as “cool”?
The college guys in Xenos are some of the coolest guys I know. I always thought it was the coolest thing to be able to converse with the college guys when I was in junior high. I felt like one of the coolest kids around! I know that sounds pretty selfish of me, but who didn’t want to be the coolest in junior high? I wasn’t much of a follower of Christ at the time, but I was heading in the right direction. Watching the lovingness and servant hood of the college kids helped me to realize just how selfish I was. I was a taker, and I never gave anything in return. I’m so glad that those guys were willing to put up with me and my selfishness. I want to give those “fa reel” cool college guys my deepest thanks and appreciation.
Am I Prepared?
Life goes fast. It reminds me of how little time I have to use toward the Lord. For the past several years of my life, I’ve wasted it on video games and other methods of self-gratification. Where has it taken me? Well, I have horrible study habits, and I’m just starting to read books of my own accord. I’m pretty smart, but am I really prepared for the future? This summer has showed me how close to the edge I am with getting good grades and getting ready for college. I need to work for scholarships! How can I take for granted free money? Instead of living my life in debt from loan after loan, I need to stop taking the opportunities I have for granted and start putting them to good use! There’s only one way to find out if I’ll do it. I gotta show for it in my last year of high school.
My goal for this year is to help bring at least one person to Christ and hopefully a cell group split! Keith has us doing this study two hours to sleep over per night, and I’m pretty syced about it! I’m going to turn this year over to God and start taking some steps of faith!!! I hope you guys in Xenos will do the same! Let’s make this year one for the Lord!
Can you guess where the song’s from?
