Some Thoughts...

As I was preparing to leave for Washington, D.C., I had only one fear: that my time there would only increase my "senioritus" and make the remainder of my days in college unbearable. That's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. :)

However, as I prepared to go to classes this morning, I realized that I was calm. I was ready. And I realized that my time in the District has given me clarity that I had not previously enjoyed.

I realized that school is an imperative part of God's plan for my preparation for whatever lies ahead. I realized that these 103 days until graduation will be used to shape me and to prepare me for my potential move to Washington in August. And for the first time in a long time, I realize that I can handle this. School is not going to be something that "keeps me from going", but rather will only prove to be beneficial in the future when the doors open for me to go.

These may seem like commonsense realizations, but they weren't until this weekend for me. I now have a goal, and I know that I can accomplish this goal!

Washington and the opportunities therein will wait...and I need to make sure that I am ready for whatever the future holds by following God's will for me right NOW.
