An old friend from high school, Aaron (the not married one) called me around 10pm this evening and asked me if I wanted to go out and talk for a little. We hadnt seen each other in months because of our schedules so I decided this would be a great time even if it was so late. He came out and picked me up and we went driving around trying to figure out where we could get out and walk around and talk. We soon settled on going back to Mt Calvary and talking. I honestly felt like I was in one of those movies or television shows where the people go back to where it all started once they are older and talk about their lives now or something to that effect. We sat on the swings and talked about life and what we know now. We both decided that we would probably want to go back w/ the knowledge of what we know now and what we are like now and see what it would be like. I would have been such a better student. I wouldnt care about having a boyfriend or a date to the banquet/prom. I would practice basketball more. I would be nicer to people. I would have exercised and been more healthy. Wow. It is so amazing what 10 yrs, maturity and the real world does to you. We walked out onto the soccer field and i looked back at the school and just looked all around me and wanted to cry. I feel so blessed to have come ALL this way and to have had this place in my life to go to school. God has truly worked through me. Even if it were a backwards way or a way i wish i had never gone through.

I can not believe its been 10 yrs already. I can not believe I’m still friends with some of those people still. It just amazes me. The time spent w/ Aaron this late in the evening was a great idea and im glad i did it. Even if i might have sacrificed some sleep, I feel its what God wanted. I feel He used it as a time to show me how far He’s brought me and how far He’s going to take me in the future. I feel He knows the desires of my heart and He’s going to use the strength I have now to carry them out in His time and way. I’m ready Lord…what’s the next step?
