No car, No cell phone, No worries (2005)
I'm thinking about my future today. I've been a bit nostalgic as well. Sometimes when you're going through a rough time in your life (mine being my breakup situation) it is really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. In my case, not being able to see this light made me make some decisions that I now regret. But I went to Kentucky pretty battered, and I made a complete change while I was there. It's amazing what a good example can do for you! Now it doesn't matter to me if I don't have a date on Friday, or if I'm just going home after work. I can go home, and spend what time I have left with my family, I can hang out with my friends at school and work. I can also get all my work done at school so I hardly ever have homework. Sure this may sound like absolutely no fun to other people, but I am genuinely happy with where I'm at right now. My transmission on my car blew on Friday night, I'm out $500, but it's okay. Instead of spending all my money on useless things when I got paid last summer, I put it in the bank. So now I have more than enough to cover that. My cell phone is broken, but it's okay, I have a house phone and I can still check my voicemail on my cell. I'm not worried about it, and I'm not rushing to fix it. I have enough money to cover that as well. What I am worried about is the fact that after my car had some extensive water damage in it, my bible was destroyed in the mess. So if I need anything, it's a ride to Carterville to the lifeway christian store so I can buy a bible. I've been online reading the bible at night and finding lessons online, but it's really just not the same. My old bible had all my lessons I'd ever taken underlined and I had written notes on the sides so I could look back and recall everything I had learned. I miss that a whole lot. It was almost like my christian photo album. God's telling me, "look, here's where you've been." But I do feel truely blessed with where I am right now. Sure I have my bad days, but so does everyone else, I'm just focusing on my good days, being a senior, and moving to Kentucky when I graduate to be with my family and friends that I care so much for.
