its funny when you get to a certain age
you begin to purge your life..
realize you simply have too much crap
that is what my weekend has been all about
... four garbage bags and counting of trash
over a dozen boxes of stuff to give away.
i have so many books and cds.
i found shoes from 6th and 7th grade !!
(i simply have a shoe problem)
what do you do with your varsity jacket??

but there are still a few precious things
pictures, old letters, journals, things that i just can't seem to part with yet
... looking through all my old things makes me feel like it was another life
something i experienced and i remember
but yet seems so far away from now.
and it makes me feel so old.. yet so young
looking through all my families pictures, youth group, teen mania
makes me miss so many different people, those times in my life
yet i have my whole life yet to be lived.. !
my past has helped form and develop who i am now
but i have a so many amazing things waiting for me..
reminds me of the verse in Jeremiah..

"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

looking through the past reminds you how many and how much
your friends and family love you.
i'm glad letters are tangible.
i really miss my brothers tonight.

I almost feel like i'm about to jump off a cliff..
life is changing, developing
my heart is in a place of hope and anticipation
i feel like its something big...
