It's often in my solitary experiences where I realize how truly blessed I am.
Tonight I had a chance to enjoy a formal dinner celebrating scholarship winners. I chatted for nearly an hour with my old fourth grade teacher... someone who I haven't talked to for nine years, and we carried on a conversation for the entire meal! I saw both of my parents at peace and enjoying themselves, something that makes me very happy.
I got home, said good night to my mom and dad, and finally completed the remainder of my graduation party slideshow. With the exception of a few music tracks, it is completely done. As I got to looking at the pictures on it, I suddenly got incredibly nostalgic.
In that slideshow, my life is literally flashing before my eyes.
And as I sit here, I understand how blessed I am. As I posted a few days ago, it's all about attitude.
The senior trip is over... but it was an incredible experience that I can hold onto forever.
My friends are going away this summer... but they're never really gone. We'll be together for eternity.
These weeks leading up to Graduation are hectic... but they're enjoyable at the same time.
I have to write a graduation speech... but this speech is about the people in my class that I like.
I haven't had a Walnut Street Church session in over a month... but that will make the next visit all the more exciting.
I sucked at riding a bike through Chicago... but I made it!
There may be fear everywhere... but rising above it all is God's love.
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out all fear." 1 John 4:18
