It is rare in life that you know beforehand that a day is
going to change your life forever. Your wedding day, and maybe the day of your
scheduled c-section; but days like that are very limited. Normally it is in
hindsight that we recognize those kinds of days and wish we had savored them a
little more. Today will be one of those days for me. Today I will go to work,
leave around 10 to take my Hebrew Bible final, head back to work, then leave at
3:30 to go take my Historical Preservation final, by 8:00 I will be heading
home to eat dinner and go to bed. But it will be the VERY LAST TIME! Today will
be the very last day that I ever work a full time job and live the life of a
full time student. Today I will be a college graduate. Today I will feel the
satisfaction of a short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain. Today I will not
rush, I will not stress out over last minute studying, I will not take things
for granted. Today I will soak up every minute.
Today will mark the change in a season of my life, of my
family’s lives. Today it will all be worth it.
And tomorrow… Well who knows about what tomorrow might
bring. I trust the One that has brought me through this journey will lead me
into the next one. I am going to enjoy today!
