2 days of classes to go... a picture for you ^_^

~Ends and Finals~

I think that "finals" is a very appropriate term for exams...because it is also the time when many other activities come to an end. For example, this week, we had our last Alpha of the term, and our last official CCF program. I know I say it every term, but I absolutely can't believe how fast it's gone! I'm not ready to say goodbye to gourmet Thursday night meals or my L-shaped room in Eby =O Haha, but seriously, it seems like life barrels forward and you have the choice to live in the past or embrace the present. I choose to embrace the present, but man, there are just some things I don't want to let go of! That's where faith comes in...faith that God's plan for our lives is ALIVE and MOVING...and even though I still feel like yesterday I was a frosh and now I'm somehow half-way done third year, I am excited to see how God has been shaping lives (mine and others around me), how his Spirit is moving among people on this campus, how He pulls different people together and you find out why later, and finally, what is to come! A part of me never wants to grow up...to go away from this place that I've grown to love so much...the people that have meant so much in my walk with God... (look at me, the melodramatic...graduating in 2 years and already mourning, haha!), but the other part of me seems to almost be seeing the world as if for the very first time, through brand-new "Spirit-glasses". Here's thanks to God for a wonderful term!
