Tonight I'm in Chattanooga staying with my cousin for a couple of days. Today was her day - her graduation from UTC! I am mucho proud! Okay, not to make it all about me, but being there made me think that my college graduation is not that far off. High school graduation was one thing, because after that it's just 4 more years of school (in a different place with new people ... :) ). Now, though, there's no more classes, tests, walking to school in the rain. It's actually real life. There is so much about "the real world" that I crave ... but the thought of that being my life scares me. I don't know a thing about insurance, cooking ... all that "grown-up" stuff that personifies a productive member of society, good wife, etc. I think about stuff too much, no? I know that God's timing is perfect, and one way that I do know this is through college! This has been a perfect time for me to adjust to living on my own and having a certain amount of responsibilities without being thrust into the real world all at once. Gradual change is best for me, I believe.
And now, I'm gonna go play Guitar Hero. :)

By the way, Brad and his brother Chris are involved in planting a new church in Oak Ridge called The Ridge Church. They meet every Sunday at 6. If you are like me and can't always make it out there, check out http://www.mogulus.com/theridgechurch for a live feed of the message every Sunday at 6. Chris does a chat forum for anyone online, which is fun and is a good way to get involved in the respective subject. I think this is a wonderful place that God is blessing. Please check it out!
