So this would be my first blog to the world, which is more pressure than I originally thought. All I can tell you is where I am now, and eventually where I was will present itself. I am about to finish my second semester of college, and have not yet been struck by that booming-voice-ray- of-light epiphany that should tell me all the details of my life for the next three years. All I know is I would like to help people. Not in that way that brokers or Burger King employees help people, but in a way that gives relief in the present and hope for the future.
I am at an intersection in just about everything at the moment. I am between the benefits of adulthood and the nostalgia of immaturity, between the drive to succeed and the need to sleep, between anxiety and joy and tears and wonder. It is amazing how juvenile adults make me feel until I realize I am one of them.
At the moment I should be writing a paper due in just a few hours, and am instead sitting on my floor in boy shorts with my hair up in chop sticks watching Fresh Prince re-runs. Sadly, this is not a rare occurrence. On this note, I will get up, turn off the television, and write my paper. Or I will just finish this episode.

my freshman year, and all the preceding years, people always told me to not worry because eventually God would make it blatantly obvious what He wanted me to do with the rest of my life. and, to my complete shock, He actually did just that for me! opportunities fell into my lap, and i decided to take them and i've never been happier. BUT. big BUT. i don't think that's really how it works. more often than not, God just grants us life and opportunities and people in our path. it is totally up to us to decide which way we want to go. there is no right path to follow, as long as we are following Him. so you want to help people? well. do it. :) and God will bless whichever way you happen to do it. that's the beauty of following Christ; He never leads you in the wrong direction--even if you're scared shitless and have absolutely no idea where you are going. :)
p.s. the fresh prince is always a good way to waste time.
