Actually, the title has nothing to do with this blog, but was a joke for our dear shepherd! Ok, muy bueno... I STARTED SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY!! (I know, it's a big shock for all of you... NOT!) I was very much looking forward to starting. With the first day games/events out of the way, I finally got a glimpse of what my school year was going to look like. I've come to the brilliant conclusion that it is strange. Mainly due to the fact that I am driving and that senior year feels very, very close! It's also bizarre realizing that I'm not going to be at Grace Academy for much longer. I've gone there since kindergarten, so it's like my second home. I truly belive I spend more time on our beloved campus than my actual home at least during the school year. What's exciting is feeling like you're used to how things go and you can share your experiences with younger grades and newer students. SLC is also a huge opportunity this year as well. God in His sovereignty allowed me to become vice president and I pray I can live up to that calling. I hope we can truly lead our high school to a spirtual revival of sorts (or to use one28's favorite term- reformation!!!). I don't want to go through another year just sitting through 7 classes, doing sports, or planning events without keeping God's agenda for my life first. I don't want to look back on graduation day June 2007 and realize I missed a huge opportunity. I've got to give a last push... finish the last stretch... sew the last button (or any other comparison you might think of) so I can give a positive account for my 17th and 18th year of life! College is going to be a huge change, so I should make sure to cherish the wonderful environment, teachers, and friends at Grace! Well, in closing, I will type the first part of 2 Timothy 3 that we were to memorize tonight for tomorrow in Mr. Peter's Bible class (more to follow as we memorize the whole chapter) and a few choice "Word of the Day" highlights:
"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come." (NASB)
tintinabulation- the sound a bell makes
(This was extra humerous because I thought Stuart said "the sound a bull makes" when he said the definition. tintinaBULation- it makes sense! :))
chiasmus- inverted relationship between syntactic elements of parallel phrases
(Um... thanks Webster, I guess.) It mentioned something like: "to stop too fearful and too faint to go"
P.S. Our first soccer game is tomorrow against Orcas Island. I love ferry rides, don't you? We'll certainly give it our all! I'll have to post the scores when we return!
