Why can't magic 8 balls work?

So, I'm not sure this blog will even be read anymore, but even if it isn't...at least I can write whatever!
Covenant has been great so far. As a senior, I'm trying to enjoy all of the extracurricular activities while I'm still a college student. So far, I've been able to 1. have a hall get-together/omelet making party with my hall's brother hall, Sutherland.
2. Go to a Sady Hawkins costume dance with a friend. The theme was 'Kiddo Kilter' and we went as a barrel o' monkeys (see fb pics)
3. Go to my first drive in movie with the 5 points (a guy hall two floors below us)and my hall
4. Go to Chicago with a great group of people for a Christian Community Development Association conference.

Academically: I'm enjoying my classes and love all of my professors. I have also started my SIP process (Senior Integration Paper).

so to explain the title of this blog: as a senior I have been pondering what to do with my life. Do I want to pursue a graduate degree? Can I even get into a graduate program? What do I want to do with my life? What do I actually like doing? I began to think of how easy life would be if I could just shake a magic 8 ball and let it tell me which direction to go. I've NEVER liked making up my mind. Ask anybody who really knows me and they'll confirm that. However, I suppose that if a magic 8 ball did control my life decisions life would be pretty boring and restricting. I really need to take Jesus' instructions of "Do not worry" in mind. I guess I just need to be faithful in following whatever He has planned for me.

  1. One day while contemplating my future, much like you are now, as I was walking up the stairs to the computer lab at FSU this verse randomly popped into my head: Romans 8:28. It is very important to figure out what you enjoy doing to figure out what "you want to do with the rest of your life", but as my grandfather's and uncle's lives have shown me, you don't have known that right away. Yes, some people figure out their careers right away, but it's ok to several jobs until you find one that fits you the best. You may not find it until you're 40 and that's ok. As long as you are serving the Lord and living according to His will...that is all that matters. I love you!!! Oh and we're going sky diving August 2nd!!! or around there for Meg's 18th.
