One year a lot will change. I went back to MCBC for men's cell the other day and was surprised at how different the basement looked. It symbolic for me. A physical representation of the change that is happening everywhere around me.
Things will never be the same.
I remember saying something like "I won't miss this but I will treasure it"
Now that I look back... I do miss it. Growing up is bittersweet. On one hand you have a strong desire to push forward but on the other hand your scared of losing the people that will be left behind in the process. You've grown to much to go back but your reluctant to move forward.
Lately, God has been showing me gifts and abilities I had that I didn't even know I had. Its exhilarating but scary at the same time. When I start to piece together who I know I am so far, all my talents and gifts it all comes down to one thought: God is going to use me to do crazy things. He definitely didn't create me for a "normal" life. I think I would die or boredom living a normal life anyways.
Where will I be in 5 years?
