Beauty In Dissonance...

Well I am finally home and it feels good. These last few days were spent in Minnedosa to celebrate a very good friend of mine's birthday. I was only home for three days before I left to Minnedosa and it felt a little weird to be driving back East in a red Firebird with a kid (a good friend) in tight skinny jeans.

But anyways I am home and now that I am, I feel like I should have this great incite as to what my life should look like or be like. But to be honest I don't what my Summer and Fall are going to look like. I have my plans, hopes, and aspirations, but that is not always the way it goes. I often get caught up on what I think should happen but I forget that God has a plan that may or may not be different than mine.

My walk is far from perfect, but I think there is a sense of beauty in the dissonance in my life.

It is going to get some getting used to being in this almost soundless town again, but it is a good time.

Done!

Well I am done my first year of college (aside from a final paper due Friday) and although I am still not sure what I want to do with my life, it feels good.

On Sunday I leave to go back to ol' Norquay. It will be good to go home but I sure will miss this city and these people. I feel like in this last year I have grown a significant amount. I would like to think that I have grown into a better disciple and person. Being around people who are much wiser than I am has been stellar.

It is weird to think about what I would be doing now if I stayed home for another year. I would most likely be in Martials basement shooting pool, saying a decent "thats what she said" joke (lets be honest, I do that here too), or reminiscing about something stupid we all did or said a long time ago. Also, if I would have stayed home for another year, I would have done much more fishing!

Father, thank you for this community that I am priviledged to be apart of. I pray that you bless these friends of mine as they teach me new things every day.
