Sometimes I wonder about my motivations. No, really. Why is it that I think, speak, act the way I do? And -- please refrain from eye-rolling, thanks -- I'm tired of being young. Tired of not being taken seriously, of being unable to take steps I want to take, of having umpteen more years of high school, college, grad school? left to go. And, in my irritable teenage manner, I am annoyed.
But there are things in this life that do not annoy me. Laughter, love, life itself. My Lord and Savior has a plan for me -- what that may be, I do not yet know, but there is plenty of time to figure it out. In the meantime, all I can do is my best. To apply myself to my studies. To nurture my relationships with those I love. To forge new acquaintances -- and to let others go if the time is right. To serve my Rock and my Redeemer however I can. To use the talents and blessings I have been given to better myself and the world.
To be human. To honor the amazing chance I have been given -- the chance to live. I can only hope that I will succeed.
