You know when you used to go back and read what you wrote on xanga... and found out how actually immature and dumb you are... yeah it happened again haha, so i decided to write a "more mature" blog entry about what's been going on.
A bunch of freshmen and Sunroot, Mike and me went to a park last night and the topic of "favorite memory" came. Everyone started stating really fun ones (skate estate, tickling Will) but I couldn't think of anything. I must say that I didn't have a REALLY fun year (unlike freshman year) but it was memorable. I ended up telling Mike and Sunroot that my favorite memory was when Slim left... and I felt like I didn't "need" him anymore. NOT saying he wasn't a terrific guy and such, but I was just too dependent on him (and other seniors as well). At that moment, I understood that it was time to take care of other people, not just stay "Gary the freshman" forever.
I've finished half of my term as IVCF's Large Group Coordinator and it was a challenge. I had a terrific committee but it was nothing I had ever done. I, the same Gary from freshman year, NEVER was in charge of things, but then i was thrust into this position, relying alot on God's mercy. This semester/year was alot about growing up... and learning what it meant to be a man of God (I have two years Christina!). I'm really looking forward to how God will grow me in the years to come and how I can serve the people around me.
I am also looking forward to this summer thought because it brings different challenges: my family, something I've struggled with since before time began and the missionfield in China. I'll probably write another blog entry to talk about this summer... because I'm really hoping that it will be a life-changing summer. Alright, thats it. Please pray for me. =]
