Alright, I've been doing some mad crazy college hunting. MAD. CRAZY. And right now my dreams are bursting at the seams (don't expect me to whip out any fireflies from a jar, though).
Let me start by saying that I was raised in a household built on dreams. All my life I was told that I could do anything or be anything I wanted when I grew up. And I never once doubted that. But right now, in this stage of my life, I'm realizing one of the enemies most tried and true tactics. So many kids my age fall into a belief that says 'I'm not good enough for college' or 'the chances of me becoming an athlete are a million to one.'
I hate that. I HATE THAT!!!
I had to get that out.
Seriously?! Who cares if its a million to one. If you don't try at all its a million to zero. AND you've accomplished nothing.
Sometimes God takes us down paths that we're meant to fail at. But He always provides a turn in the road that leads to something better than we ever could have imagined. But we needed the experience first.
I can't let people tell me that my dreams are unrealistic, or that I'll never succeed in life. God has placed those dreams in my heart for a reason. They're meant to prosper me. To give me hope and future. To glorify Him.
So maybe I will just go to college in Fairbanks, or Manchester, or Melbourne.
Show me your plans, O Lord. Guide me.
