These last couple of days have been feeling new. I think there are a couple of reasons for this "new feeling."
1. There are three more academic weeks left of school. I always get anxious when this time comes. Anxious in such a way that I roll around in bed not able to sleep. I have things to get done, track meets are coming to an end, and something that really keeps me from being settled is knowing that I won't be sleeping in the same place in a matter of time. I know this is a silly thought, but it is how my mind works. Remember, change is not my favorite thing, and when I know that the end of the year is coming, I also know that a new apartment is coming as well, only to leave my old apartment behind.
2. Summer is soon! Even though change is not always my favorite time of life (which is silly because it is ALL the time. Honestly, it's one of the things that is actually promised for everyone.) it means that seeing Kelsey (my horse), my goats, family, friends, and home soon. That does mean I leave my home here for a temporary time as well. The "new" feeling is technically a "transition" feeling. There is nothing new about what is happening, only what is to come after the transition.
3, 4, 5, 6...I'm not sure of the other reasons at the moment, but I am sure when I stop writing I will think of many more :)
Today is Saturday and I did not have a track meet. It has been such a weird season. Indoor Nationals created a short outdoor season for me, but it sure has been fun. Yesterday, the team and I traveled only 20 minutes down the street for a fun, relaxing relay meet. I only ran two 100 meters in two relays and I high jumped FOR FUN. My friend Deb and I made a deal. Deb said, "if you high jump, I will run a 200 meter dash." Well, there is no way I would pass that up, because she defiantly got the hard end of the stick! I jumped 4'4" (not too shabby for never jumping!) and Deb ran her way to the finish line of the 200. The first thing out of her mouth while she laid on the ground was, "why would anyone ever do this for fun?!" It was a great memory. My 4x100 relay team ran a 49.99 seconds. That is a season record, so lets see if we can make another season record. Nationals is in the low 48s.
Meet Deb :)
Fast Flashback: Three minutes after the parents left all of the new freshmen at college in 2010, Deb and I were standing alone wondering, well...now what? We were in a new place, we knew no one, and our parents had just left back to their states. I was wearing a track sweatshirt. Deb tapped my shoulder and asked, "do you run track?"
It all started from there.
Listening in life is a key component to where someone wants to go, and where they will go. I believe that God speaks to people in so many different ways; dreams, signs during a day, gut feelings, conversations, anything. I bring this up because I feel like God is doing something in my life that I wasn't expecting. I need to pray about it, see what he is up to, and when I find more out I will share. I am sharing this small glimpse because I think that thinking before speaking is important. Sometimes God wants you to only listen to him, and other people's opinions may not be from God. I can't wait to share what is going on within my life.
Happy Saturday everyone!
I treated myself to a pedicure today. What will you treat yourself with?
You deserve it!
