Adjustments

Getting back to Taylor has been different than I expected.

It has been good to see everybody, but getting used to all of the new faces, "How was Ecuador" questions, and finding my new role on campus and my wing has been interesting.

Having people think that I'm an Ireland freshman isn't flattering, but hey being humbled is always good.

Since it's J-term, that means I have a lot of free time. I plan on studying for my class (it would be nice to get an A in Astronomy), reading the Bible a lot, working out, and hanging out.

Something God has taught me is that I need to build my foundation on Him for every area of my life. He also told me that trusting and hoping in people is worthless and that most of the desires I have for relationships can be satisfied in Him. Sweet huh?

Its interesting to remember my freshman year and what I thought of upperclassmen. On a wing, most upperclassmen have a lot of influence over the youngsters, and I hope to use that to influence others to seek after God with all of their heart. I can still remember somethings that upperclassmen said to me as a freshman. Wow.

Its crazy to think that I'm an upperclassman.

I have to start thinking about future, jobs, graduation and other stuff.

If I can graduate early, I think I will. Saving the fam $11K+ would be worth it. Also I could always live in the Upland area and work somewhere until graduation so I could spend time with friends here. You never know.

I just need to pray about stuff like when to graduate, where to live while attending Taylor, future jobs, the Daytona Beach Spring Break trip, and other stuff.

Seeing that the end of my college career is in sight, I need to focus on the stuff I wish to accomplish while here and cultivate relationships while there is still time. I am very thankful for my time at Taylor and for all God has taught me and know that if I keep seeking Him and loving him that He will make my paths straight as it says in His word.

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.
