Summer Wraps Up August 29, 2009

Man, the summer has gone by too fast… Seems like just yesterday that I got back from overseas, though it also seems like I was never gone. I miss my students in Cambodia; I’ve been able to keep in contact with some of them, but it’s not the same… But life is moving on. I went to Campmeeting, was in Natalie’s wedding, went to the big Pathfinder Camporee in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and on a couple camping trips. This summer has been good, but I’m ready for the next chapter. As much as I like home, it gets me stuck in a rut a lot of the time. I’ll be heading up to Walla Walla University at the end of September. I’m telling everyone that I’m majoring in Physical Therapy, but I really don’t know what my major should be. I’m sure all college students go through that feeling, so I’m no exception. The past couple years have had quite a similar theme–uncertainty. I’ve struggled with knowing where to go to school, struggled with what to do with my life, struggled in my relationship with God and certain friends… But I’ve recently realized that struggle is a good thing. Struggle shows that there’s still hope. So, as life continues to move along, all I can do is trust and keep on struggling…
