...falling...and bouncing back up...

So with a week into 2007, i've had time to think about what took place through 2006...i sit here thinking of the many events that took place. i think a simple phrase could sum up this past year. "falling and bouncing back up" i feel like i have accomplished alot during 2006.

For starters, i've learned alot...
-I finished my last semester of college classes ever
-I realized that there is a 'ticket curse' upon me
-I have wrestled with figuring out where i fit into the world of ministry
-I have grown spiritually
-I led another group to Florida for Week-of-E
-I have matured in my faith
-I have completed an internship
-I have extended an internship
-I have been through alot
-I have fallen into the deepest and darkest places i've ever been and bounced back up...over time, of course.

I would have say that I've gone through alot. There were many fun times and many sad. I must say though, i brought 2006 in with the boxer run and ended it with a lock-in. Everything in between seems like a blur honestly. I know where i've been though, i've seen what i've done...i've learned from it. I've fallen, and i've bounced back....i do not want to ever go back down those roads i've traveled down before...i'm looking forward and by God's power will i ever look back behind me. I know that through all of the mud and crap i've drugged myself through, that i've been able to finally walk on solid ground and be able to know where to put my focus for 2007 and beyond.

-for when i'm at my weakest, I still need God just as much as I do when i'm at my strongest

many things are going to take place in 2007, many things i don't even know about...but here is what to look forward to in 2007:
-trips to Lambert's
-Cardinal Games
-getting a job
-Walking on May 12th!
-continually serving God
