IThoughtItWouldNeverEnd...But

It did!

Summer is over in a week. I can't believe it. School starting and the leaves falling. Lame. Everything that happened in the last three months. What a blast.

Camping, homeland, and gatherings of laughter. All of it was timeless. Along with the beginning of Summer I tend to think about how I am going to change through out the three months of vacation. Will I grow and be a different person than I am now? Will it be a good different?

Evaluation time!

So I figured a couple of things changed. First being that I learned a lot about the family in my homeland. So many good experiences, appreciating different things, and not always doing the same things over and over again. Adventuring out and exploring. I will always remember those times of going out and experiencing new places I have never been to. Living on an island really messes with your head. I never realized how gigantic the world is. Traveling thousands of miles and seeing thousands of people in such a short amount of time. Thousands of towns and cities I will never set foot in. It all kind of brings things into perspective. It isn't all about me and my family.

Ever since we started going back to church in March I actually find myself thinking about the sermons that I hear throughout the week. Usually when I went to church I would just sit there and fiddle with my fingers while I wait for the message to end, but now. Now I actually listen, not only listen, but allow the message to sink into my mind and simmer. At the end of every Sunday I think about it, and then through out the week I remind myself about the message. The church I attend now is where I am suppose to be. Every single message speaks to me personally. Every single message hits me where I need to be hit. And it's so awesome.

It can only get better, yeah? I mean, life. As a teenager growing up in this kind of world I figure it can only get better. I'll get smarter, maturer, and wiser. This being my last year of high school I should start seriously thinking about my future. But not too seriously. I hate stressing about things I shouldn't stress about. Finding my purpose in life is definitely one of those things I should give to God. So I do, daily. What should I study? What job should I get? Am I even going to get married? Or shall I be a happy man?

I don't know, but the cool thing is that I don't need to know. Not right now, but when the time is right God will tell me. Peace of my mind is restored.

Tomorrow is the last day I will spend with my Elder Sage Siblings for a long time. Isn't that sad? No, not at all. It's just the trumpet that sounds for school. The sound that signals that it's time to start treading through the road of life once again. I welcome it with open arms. It's been three months Dear Readers! I think that is a long enough rest.
