All done!

I finished school. It's funny looking at the title of this blog cause it was in school that my teacher taught me to say that I was "finished", NOT "done." Whenever I said "I'm done!" she would mock me saying "You're dumb???" It was painful, but I guess I didn't learn well enough. (I also don't know when to use "good" or "well")

But the point is that there has been a divorce and school and I are no longer together. It was ugly and school took most of my money, but I managed to sneak away with a piece of paper that looks harmless, but actually means very much in this world. :)

So I have started the rest of my life...and it doesn't feel any different. It really just feels like another Christmas break, you know? Nothing is different from last year, yet everything is different. It's weird, really. I don't always know how I am supposed to respond to such change, Biblically. I know God has called us to grow up and work, and I am blessed to be able to do so, but what about the transition? What about the in between? All I have ever known is school and studying and taking extended breaks, but all that is gone. The majority of my spiritual life, and all of my spiritual growth has been in college, and now I'm not in college anymore. Hmmm...

Well, I know that God is always trying to sanctify me and make me pure, so I will rejoice in this time. And allow him to stretch me as he sees fit, which is probably better than I see fit. I guess I don't really come to any set conclusions from writing on this blog, but its fun to get my thoughts out. I will try to keep up with it more now that I am out in the real world and not busy 24-7.

merry Christmas!!!
