Wicked Intentions

One of my favorite songs from the musical Wicked is "For Good." I tend to relate to this song because I think that God puts people into my life to teach me something. I keep seeing everyone's status on facebook about graduation and my looming date at the end of my internship. I keep thinking about jobs and where I will be moving...(again). This thought scares me a little too since there is so much change coming up. I won't be going to camp, my safe haven, like I have the last two summers. I know I will miss everyone and miss the stories and kids, but mostly the relationships that are made with the staff. 

Isaac and I met at camp and I know he was put into my life for a reason. I didn't see our relationship going serious at all. I saw him as a lesson, a stepping stone. It was just a nice perk that I fell in love. There have been other people that I feel like I have been placed in my life, mostly to teach me a lesson and move on, but some have stayed and become a big part of my life. Those we continue to share lessons with, learn with. Those are the ones that have changed me "for good." Others may have changed and shaped who I am, but the ones that have taught me the lessons, those are the ones that God really placed there to me learn from.

So as I move on to the next stage of life, where ever that might take me. And right now it not looking so good to stay around here, I know that I will carry on the lessons from those who love me and we will still be teaching each other and learning each day.

On the Job Hunt

So it's getting close to the end of school and I have to start looking for jobs. Lucky for me the economy sucks!  Isaac and I have been dating over a year a half and I'm tired of only seeing him on weekends. Is it too much to ask that we date like a normal couple? I don't think so, but that limits my search for jobs. I guess we will be crossing that battle when I find some jobs. I'm hoping that soon after I finish at the VA I will be having job interviews and moving to Greensboro! That's my hope anyways! I'll keep you updated!
