say what?
Well I just took my final AP Exam — Chemistry. I must say all of my AP exams this year were not as simple as I planned, but I’m sure a lot of people thought that, so I should be ok.
Anyways, I’m done with taking college classes in high school and am essentially done with high school altogether. Now to see how much of that extra work really paid off in terms of college credits come orientation in July.

Sometimes I feel like this. Hah. I wish I could just be myself around people. Not that Prom wasn’t fun, but that in other instances I wish I could have talked about what I really wanted to talk about or hang out with those other friends.
I guess I trust that God’s been working through all of it — and I’ve seen a lot of it… but I guess it’s ok to think about it sometimes.
High school has gone by so fast. It seems like I was taking freshman classes just a couple months ago.

Loneliness…even before The Fall God recognized that it was ‘not good’ for the man to be alone; and I think far too often we find ourselves hidden when we really long to be known. The good news, at least as I see it, is that God knows us (Psalm 139:1-10) and loves us even though he fully understands who we are and where we fall short(1 John 3:16, Psalm 117), and that everyone else is made to be relational just as we are. If we all long to be known…than what’s stopping us from exposing ourselves?
Is it a fear of rejection? Of worthlessness? All men fall short of the glory of God, but God certainly has a story in us. And I think that’s the best place to start. How has God worked in you? What is the story of your salvation, of God’s action-romance for you?
