Day 19 - Transcribe a passage from a book that has touched you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Day 18: Post a picture that evokes emotion.
This picture represents one of the happiest moments in my entire life. Yes, it was my 21st birthday, but it was a time spent with my family and my best friends. It was honestly the happiest moment of my life. And this picture shows the three people in my life that mean the most. This picture evokes happiness, the best emotion I can think of.
Day 17 - Construct a post about what you would like to be remembered for.
This post was hard for me. There are a lot of things I hope to be remembered for, so it was hard for me to narrow it down to one specific thing. I want to be remembered for my faith, though sometimes quiet, its a strong faith. I want people to see God shining through me. I want to be remembered for the relationships I held. The love of my beautiful family, and the relationships I share with my best friends. I want to be remembered for the love I have for people and the constant need to show that. And last but not least, I want to be remembered for my courage. My courage to go and to do things greater than I could have ever imagined.
I hope I can live these things out every single day, and I'll die trying.
4 days ago, Coti and I started our (half) cross country adventure to Omaha. It started Sunday morning and ended last night in Omaha. We went from Phoenix to Albuquerque to Denver and finally to Omaha. We got to experience all that New Mexico has to offer, which honestly isn't that much. I got to see the house I was born in, in Littleton, Colorado and catch up with an old Pepperdine friend. Then, I got to show Coti around my new home, school and life. And, today, I said bye to Coti, officially making this little place my new home. I didn't think this would be that big of a change, considering I've done this before, but it's the biggest change I've ever known. I'm in a town where I know no-one, driving around cluelessly trying to find my way. I've never felt so out of place ever, but I know in time, it'll be my home. But in the mean time (or until I start school on Monday) I'm going to post pictures of things I love, watch TV and start mentally preparing for this great big adventure.
So, here are some from our trip:
Road-trip buddies.
Even Henry enjoyed the ride.
My house in Colorado!
My street!
Home Sweet Home?
Mustaches.
Walking into my apartment.
I've never missed Arizona more.
Without you Dad, I wouldn't be going to law school, or doing much else.
I'm not sure where I'd be without you. Thank you for everything you do for me.
These people making going away a lot easier,
because I know that no matter what they'll always be there.
Thank you - all of you - for the best going away party I could have ever asked for.
Day 16: Write about something you want to do in the next 5 years.
For me, the next five years are going to be the biggest, most influential years of my life. Three of them are going to involve starting, attending, attempting to pass, passing, and ultimately graduating law school. The one following will be dedicated to then passing the bar and then hopefully in that fifth year I'll actually become a lawyer. But that's all obvious stuff. What I really want to do in the next five years, is grow up. I know that's kind of a weird goal, but these next three plus years are going to be the most challenging years I've ever had and I want to grow. I want to grow in myself, who I am. I want to grow in my faith. I want to grow in my relationships. I want to grow in my knowledge. I want to learn everything that law school has to teach. I want to find true love. I want to find my place in the world. In five years I want to look back and realize that I'm not the same person I was today. Not that I'm ashamed of who I am now, I just want to be a better, more self-understood version of me. Today starts my 5 year challenge, (lets just hope I can finish the 5 year challenge, unlike this one:) )
My friends are cooler than yours.
Welcome back Whit, I'm so glad you're home.
