To God - June 1, 2007

Hey God-
Well I played in the orchestra at graduation tonight. It made me think of the past, but also the future. As I was listening to the speeches from the Class President and Valedictorian and my mind began to wonder to what I would have said if I would have earned that honor. I couldn't help, but realize that what I would write now would have been all about you and serving you, but in high school I can't say I would have written the same thing. You know how I was in high school - let's just say I wasn't a great Christian really I wasn't a Christian at all. I do miss high school though. It was so easy and comfortable. I miss the plays and silhouettes and even orchestra, it was all so great. I wish I would have realized it at the time and taken time to enjoy it.

My mind also wondered to graduating college. It seems so far away. College hasn't been like high school, it has been a lot harder for me to fit in, but I think that is because I haven't wanted to. Miami is a great school, but it seems that everyone drinks and parties and I don't want to live that lifestyle anymore. I'm sure there are some Christians on campus, but its hard to find them.

I really enjoy the scripture, Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." It allows me to know that all I have to do is trust in you and you will show me the way I should go! It is a relief to know that, but also it is so hard to turn everything over and release my hand from it.

I trust that I am in your perfect will for my life. I just want to do everything that you have for me and to do it to the best of my ability. I want to be exactly what you want me to be just help me to get there. If it is a plumber I will do it (but please let it don't let it be that! HA!). I love you God and want to please you.

I will serve you at all times!
