I still procrastinate.
   I thought my summer would be full of organized time of reading and writing, and I thought I would blog at least once a week and work on my book every other day. I thought I would learn how to cook and play piano and visit my family on occasion. I thought I would apply to several different companies or colleges in order to find my perfect fit. I thought I'd know what I would be doing come December when I walk across the stage.
   I thought wrong.
   However, my summer was so much more than I could have ever dreamed. I worked in a town of 500 people, in a church of 85 people. And I loved it.
   I read one book. I wrote half of a poem. I never blogged, and I didn't even open my book document. I did learn how to cook, and Aaron was my taste-tester--don't worry, he's still alive. I practiced piano very little, but I transposed I don't know how many songs. I visited my immediate family several times, but I only visited my grandparents once. Still kicking myself for that one. I didn't apply to one company or college, but I will be applying to Brown Books and UNT soon--famous last words of the procrastinator. ;)
   Beyond all that English-nerd-stuff, I met and developed relationships with some of the greatest teenagers on the face of the Earth. Exaggeration? Not a chance. These guys and gals know how to go after God in a way that I am just understanding at 21 years old. And they love each other. Revolution youth group has the most intense family feel of any youth group I've every seen. They are absolutely amazing, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of them.
   This summer, I didn't find out what I'd be doing come December, but I did find peace about what I want to be doing. I want to be serving the church. I don't care if I'm in a bathroom installing a vent or on stage leading worship. I don't care if I'm praying with adults in the altars or if I'm editing videos. I don't care if I'm taking attendance or greeting people at the door. I want to do. I want to help. I want to serve. This English stuff is just the nerdy fun side of me. Oh, I looooooooove reading and writing, and I will read and write until my eyes go blind and my fingers stop moving--and then I'll get audio books and a microphone attached to my computer. Haha. But, my purpose is much more than reading. My passion is much more than writing.
   And I've barely tapped in to what God has for me...how exciting!!
